Introduction to 1 John
2 SWH1850 Uzima huo ulipotokea sisi tuliuona na sasa tunasema habari zake na kuwaambieni juu ya uzima huo wa milele uliokuwa kwa Baba na uliodhihirishwa kwetu. 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 SWH1850 Tulichokiona na kukisikia ndicho tunachowatangazieni ninyi pia ili nanyi mpate kushirikiana nasi katika umoja tulio nao na Baba na Mwanae Yesu Kristo. 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 SWH1850 Tunawaandikia ninyi mambo haya kusudi furaha yetu ikamilike. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 SWH1850 Basi, habari tuliyoisikia kwake Yesu na tunayowahubirieni ndiyo hii: Mungu ni mwanga na hamna giza lolote ndani yake. 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 SWH1850 Tukisema kwamba tuna umoja naye, na papo hapo twaishi gizani, tutakuwa tumesema uongo kwa maneno na matendo. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 SWH1850 Lakini tukiishi katika mwanga, kama naye alivyo katika mwanga, basi tutakuwa na umoja sisi kwa sisi, na damu yake Yesu Kristo, Mwanae, inatutakasa dhambi zote. 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 SWH1850 Lakini tukiziungama dhambi zetu, basi Mungu ni mwaminifu na mwadilifu, naye atatusamehe dhambi zetu na kututakasa na uovu wote. 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 SWH1850 Tukisema kwamba hatujatenda dhambi, tutakuwa tumemfanya Mungu mwongo, na neno lake halimo ndani yetu. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
