1 Yohana 3
1 Mbe nimulole ni lyenda lya kutiki linu Lata achiyaye, ati chibhilikilwe bhana bha Nyamuanga, na nikwo kutyo chili. Ku nsonga inu Echalo chitakuchimenya kulwo kubha chitamumenyele omwene.
Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
2 Abhendwa eswe wolyanu chili bhana bha Nyamuanga, na jichali kumenyekana lwa kutyo jakabhe. Echimenya ati olwo Kristo alibhonekana, chilisusana nage, kulwo kubha chilimulola lwa kutyo ali.
Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he may be made manifest, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
3 Na bhuli umwi unu ali no bhubhasi bhunu kwo okulubhana no mwanya gunu oguja gunu gwelesibhwe ku mwene, abhelesha abhene lwa kutyo mwenene ali mwelu
Indeed every one having this hope on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Bhuli munu unu kagendelela okukola ebhibhibhi kanyamula ebhilagilo. Ku nsonga echibhibhi ni bhunyamusi bhwe bhilagilo.
Every one doing sin does also a transgression of the law: and sin is the transgression of the law.
5 mumenyele ati Kristo abhulisibhwe koleleki asoshewo echibhibhi chimwi. Na mu mwene chitalimo chibhibhi.
And you know that he was manifested that he might take away sins; and in him there is no sin.
6 Ataliwo nolwo umwi unu katula okulama mu mwene no kugendelela okukola ebhibhibhi. Ataliwo munu nolwo umwi unu katula okulama mu bhibhibhi akabha amubhwene amwi amumenyele mwenene.
No one abiding in him is sinning: every one sinning does not see him, nor know him.
7 Abhana abhendwa, munu wona wona asiga kubhayabhya. Unu kakola ejo bhulengelesi ni mulengelesi, lwa kutyo Kristo one ni mulengelesi.
Little children, let no one deceive you. The one doing righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
8 Unu kakola ebhibhibhi ni wa Shetani, ku nsonga Shetani ni mukosi we bhibhibhi kusoka bhusimuka. Ku nsonga inu omwana wa Nyamuanga abhulisibhwe koleleki atule okujinyamula emilimu ja Shetani.
The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Wona wona unu ebhuywe na Nyamuanga atakutula kukola chibhibhi, Ku nsonga injuma ya Nyamuanga imulimo. Atakutula kugendelela kukola chibhibhi Ku nsonga ebhuywe na Nyamuanga.
Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.
10 Mulinu bhana bha Nyamuanga na bhana bha Shetani abhamenyekana. Wona wona unu atakukola chinu chili cho bhulengelesi, atali wa Nyamuanga, nolwo ulya unu atakutula okumwenda owabho.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love.
11 Gunu Nigwo omusango gunu mwonguywe okusoka bhusimuka, ati kuchiile okwenda eswe abhene kwa bhene,
Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another,
12 atali lwa kutyo Kaini aliga ali mubhibhi no kumwita owabho. Na ni kulwa-ki amwitile? Ku nsonga ye bhikolwa bhyaye bhyaliga bhibhibhi, ne bhyo wabho bhyaliga bhyo bhulengelesi.
not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother; and on account of what did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and those of his brother righteous.
13 Bhana bhasu, mwasiga kulugula, nolwo echalo chikabhabhililillwa.
And be not astonished, brother, if the world hates you.
14 Echimenya ati chasokele mu lufu no kwingila mu bhuanga, ku nsonga echibhenda abhaili bhasu. Wona wona unu atali na lyenda kakomela mu kufwa.
We know that we have passed out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the death.
15 Omunu wona wona unu kamubhiilililwa owabho ni mwiti. Na mumenyele ati obhuanga bhwa kajanende bhutakwinyanja munda yo mwiti. (aiōnios g166)
Every one hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself. (aiōnios g166)
16 Mu linu echilimenya elyenda, ku nsonga Kristo esosishe obhuanga bhekaye ingulu yeswe. Neswe one kuchiile okubhusosha obhulame bheswe ingulu ya bhasu.
In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 Mbe nawe wona wona unu ali ne bhinu, mbe namulola owabho ali mukene, mbe nawe naguganya omwoyo gwaye ogwe chigongo ingulu yaye; Angu, okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kubhekayemo kutiki?
Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him?
18 Abhana bhani abhendwa, chasiga kwenda kwe minwa-la nolwo kwe misango jinu chitalimo chinu nawe mu bhikolwa ne chimali.
Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 Mu linu echimenya ati eswe chili mu chimali, ne mioyo jeswe ejikomelesha mu mwene.
And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;
20 Nolwo kutyo emioyo jeswe ejichilamula, Nyamuanga ni mukulu kukila emioyo jeswe, no mwene kamenya misango jona.
because if our heart may condemn us, it is because God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
21 Abhendwa, alabha emioyo jeswe jitakuchilamula, mbe chili no bhubhasi ku Nyamuanga.
Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God:
22 Na chona chona chinu echisabhwa echichilamila okusoka kwaye, ku nsonga chigawtile ebhilagilo bhyaye no kukola emisango jinu ejo kukondelesha imbele yaye.
and whatsoever we may ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things pleasing before him.
23 Mbe chinu nicho echilagilo chaye ati kuchiile okulikilisha lisina lyo mwana ways Yesu Kristo no mwendanega eswe abhene kwa bhene -lwa kutyo achiyaye echilagilo chaye,
And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.
24 unu kabhyolobhela ebhilagilo bhyaye kakomela mu mwene, na Nyamuanga kabhekalamo abhene. Na ku nsonga inu echimenya ati kachiikaya eswe, ku Mwoyo unu achiyaye.
And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.
