1 Yochanan 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
Echo chakazwa kumatalikilo - nchitwakamvwa, nchitwakabona amenso eesu, nchitwakalanga, alimwi maboko esu akachiguma - chilatala a Jwi lyabuumi.
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios g166)
Alimwi, buumi bwakachitwa kuti buzibwe, alimwi twakabubona, tububeda bukamboni. Tulikumwambila buumi ibutamani, bwakali a Taata, alimwi bwakazibisigwa kuli ndiswe. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Yeshua the Messiah.
Echo nchitwabona akumvwa aswebo tumwambila nchiicho, kuti anywebo mube abulidilano andiswe. Bulidilano bwesu buli a Taata alimwi aMwana wakwe Jesu Kkilisito.
4 And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Alimwi tulikulemba zintu ezi kulindinywe kuchitila kuti lukondo lwesu luzulile. Amwi malembe eensiku echiGiliki abalika boobu, alimwi tulikumulembela zintu ezi kuchitila kuti lukondo lwenu luzulile.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Aya ngemakani ngitwakamvwa kulinguwe ngitwamwambila: Leza mumuuni, alimwi mulinguwe tamukwe mudima abunini pe.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and don’t tell the truth.
Kuti katwamba kuti tulabulidilano anguwe pele katwenda mumudima, tulikubeja alimwi tatuchiti bwini pe.
7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshua the Messiah his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Pele kuti katwenda mumumuni mbuli mbwali mumumuni we, tulabulidilano umwi awumwi, alimwi bulowa bwa Jesu Mwana wakwe bulatusalazya kuzwa kuzibi zyoonse.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kuti twati tatukwe chibi, tulikulyeena lwesu, alimwi bwini tabumo pe mulindiswe.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Pele kuti twalyaamba zibi zyesu, ulisyomekede akululama kutulekelela zibi zyesu akutusalazya kuzwa kukutalulama koonse.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Kuti twaati taakwe nitwakabisya, twamuchita mubeji, aboobo ijwi lyakwe talimo pe muli ndiswe.
