Introduction to 1 John
2 MKW Ya tsyelika, luzingu yina talanaka. Beto talaka yawu, mpe beto kele bambangi ya yawu. Ni yawu yina, beto ke na kuzonzila mpe kuzabisa beno luzingu ya mankululu yina katukaka na sika ya Tata, mpe yina talanaka na beto. 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 MKW Mambu yina beto talaka mpe kuwaka, beto ke na kuzabisa beno yawu mpe, samu ti beno vwanda ya kukangama na beto na kintwadi yina ke na beto na Tata Nzambi mpe Yesu-Klisto, Mwana ya yandi. 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 MKW Beto ke na kusonikina beno mambu yayi, samu ti kilengi ya beto vwanda ya kulunga. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 MKW Mambu yina beto kuwaka na sika ya Yesu-Klisto, mpe yina beto ke na kuzabisa beno, ni yayi: «Nzambi kele nsemo, mpe ata mpimpa kele na kati ya yandi.» 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 MKW Kana beto ke tubaka ti beto kele kintwadi na yandi, kasi beto ke zingaka na mpimpa, beto kele bantu ya luvunu mpe beto ke sadilaka ve butsyelika. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 MKW Kana beto ke zingaka na kati ya nsemo mutindu yandi mosi Nzambi kele nsemo, beto kele na kintwadi na bampangi, mpe menga ya Mwana ya yandi, Yesu, ke vedisaka beto na masumu nyonso. 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 MKW Nzambi ke lungisaka mambu yina yandi pesaka nsilulu, mpe yandi kele ya kudedama. Na yina, kana beto fungula masumu ya beto, yandi ke lemvokila beto masumu mpe ke vedisa beto na yimbi nyonso. 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 MKW Kana beto ke tubaka ti beto kele ve na masumu, beto ke kumisaka Nzambi muntu ya luvunu, mpe mambu ya yandi kele ve na kati ya bantima ya beto. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
