Introduction to 1 John
2 VID Ukomu awo loulawile, hetwe natuwona na sambi twangulonga mbuli zake na kuwalonjelani mbuli ya ukomu awo wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma uwele kwa Mhaza na lowilajile kwa hemwe. 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 VID Lotuchiwene na kuhulika ndo tuliwanguwadamlila hemwe kahi, leka namwe muwe hamwe na hetwe kuli kikala hamwe tuwele nako na Mhaza na Mwanage Yesu Kilistu. 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 VID Twanguwandichila hemwe mbuli azi leka tumemezwe na kusangalala ng'hatu. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 VID Lelo mbuli yotuihuliche kulawila kwa heye Yesu na yotulinguwadamlilani ndo ayi, Nguluwi ndo lumuli na kuduhu jiza lyoneche mgati mwake. 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 VID Hotulonga kota twahamwe na heye na baho twangikala mjiza, hatuwa tulonga tukomya kwa ulonzi na madito. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 VID Ila hotuchikala kuli lumuli, kota na heye vyoyali kuli lumuli, lelo towa hamwe twetwe baha na danda ya heye Yesu Kilistu, Mwanage yangutuhovuga wihe wa hetwe. 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 VID Ila hotukunda kota tudita wihe, lelo Nguluwi ndo wa kitumbila yalingudita ganojile, heye kotusila gehile ga hetwe na kutuhovuga wihe weng'ha wotuditile. 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 VID Hotulonga kota hatuditile gehile, towa tumditile Nguluwi mdesi, na ulonzi wa heye hauwele mgati mwetu. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
