Introduction to 1 John
2 KDC2014 Ugima uno viulawilile tweye tuwona, na sambi tolonga kija kituwone, na towapetela mweye ugima uno wa mazuwa gose, ukalile hamoja na Tata na ulagusigwa kumwetu. BSB BSB: And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3 KDC2014 Towapetela kija kituwone na kituhulike, muladi na mweye vivija muilumbe na tweye mna ukuilumba kwetu na Tata na Mwanage Yesu Kilisito. BSB BSB: We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 KDC2014 Towandikila mweye mbuli zino kutenda deng'ho jetu ditelele. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 KDC2014 Tuuhulika usenga uno kulawa kwa Yesu na sambi towapetela mweye kamba, Mulungu iyo mulenge na mgati mmwake mduhu ziza jojose. BSB BSB: And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 KDC2014 Kamba twahalonga toilumba nayo kuno tung'hali tokala mdiziza, tolonga uvizi kwa mbuli zetu na kusang'hana kwetu. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 KDC2014 Lakini kamba tokala mna umulenge kamba heyo viyali mulenge, toilumba tweye kwa tweye, na damu ya mwanage, Yesu yotusunha nzambi zetu zose. BSB BSB: 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.
9 KDC2014 Lakini twahatogola kamba tweye twa wene nzambi, Mulungu kotamaniligwa na kotenda goya, kozigela kumgongo nzambi zetu, na kotusunha na gose gehile gatutendile. BSB BSB: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 KDC2014 Twahalonga hatutendile nzambi, tomtenda heyo yawe mvizi na imbuli yake yamduhu mgati mmwetu. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
