1 Yohana 1
1 Chilya chinu chaliga chiliwo okusoka bhusimuka-chilya chinu chonguywe, chilya chinu chalolele kwa meso geswe, chilya chinu chabhwene, na chinu amabhoko geswe gachigwatile-okulubhana no musango gwo bhuanga.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the life;
2 No bhuanga bhulya bhwakolelwe kwo kumenyekana abhwelu, na nichibhulola, no kubhubhambalila, no kubhalasisha obhuanga bhwa kajanende, bhunu bhwaliga ku Lata na nibhukolwa kumenyekana kweswe. (aiōnios g166)
and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us; (aiōnios g166)
3 Chilya chinu chalolele no kuchungwa echichikumusha kwemwe one, koleleki ati mutule okubhanyasha amwi neswe, no bhulangi bhweswe amwi na Lata no mwana waye Yesu Kristo.
that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Na echibhandikila emisango jinu emwe koleleki ati obhulosi bhweswe bhukumile.
And we write the same things to you, in order that our joy may be full.
5 Gunu Nigwo omusango gunu chonguywe okusoka kwaye no kubhalasisha: Nyamuanga ni bhwelu na munda yaye chitalimo chisute na katyali.
And the same message which we have heard from him, we also proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness.
6 Alabha chikaika ati chili no bhusangi nage kenu nichilibhatila mu chisute, chaliga na chitakukola je chimali.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 Mbe nawe chikalibhatila mu bhwelu lwa kutyo ali mu bhwelu, echisangila eswe abhene kwa bhene, na insagama ya Yesu Kristo, eyo mwana waye eichesha okusoka mu bhibhibhi bhyona.
but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Alabha chikaika ati chitana bhibhibhi, echijiga-jiga weswe abhene, ne chimali chitachilimo eswe.
But if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Mbe nawe chikata ebhibhibhi bhyeswe, mwenene ni mwiikanyibhwa na mulengelesi okuchiswalilila ebhibhibhi bhyeswe no kuchesha na mabhibhi gona.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Chikaika ati chichali kukola bhibhibhi, echimukola mwenene kubha mulimi, no musango gwaye gutachilimo kweswe.
If we may say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
