Introduction to 1 John
2 XNJ Na yula mweileta wumi peabwelili, tamuwene tavete na hinu tijova malovi gaki na tikuvakokosela na kuvajovela ndava ya wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, mwene avili kwa Dadi na hinu atihumili tete. 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 XNJ Chetachiweni na kuchiyuwana ndi chetikuvakokosela nyenye mewa, muni na nyenye muumonga wetivi nawu muni mukuwungana na Chapanga Dadi witu na Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu. 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 XNJ Tikuvayandikila nyenye mambu aga muni nyenye na tete tivya na luheku lwelutimili. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 XNJ Hinu, ujumbi wetauyuwini kwaki Yesu na wetavakokosili ndi uwu: Chapanga ndi lumuli na kawaka chitita chochoha mugati yaki. 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 XNJ Tikajova kuvya mukuwungana nayu, nambu titama muchitita ndi tijova udese, na matendu gitu ga chakaka lepi. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 XNJ Nambu ngati titama mu lumuli ngati mwene cheavili mu lumuli, tivya na umonga tete tavete pamonga na ngasi ya Yesu mweavi Mwana waki, yikutinyambisa kumbudila kwitu Chapanga kwoha. 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 XNJ Nambu tikayidakila na kujova kwa Chapanga kuvya tibudili, Chapanga ndi msadikika na yati ihenga gegiganikiwa, na mwene yati akutilekekesa mabudilu gitu na kutinyambisa uhakau woha. 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 XNJ Ngati tikajova tikiti lepi uhakau, tikumukita Chapanga ndi mdese na lilovi laki livili lepi mugati mwitu. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
