Introduction to 1 John
2 YOM Luzingu lutotuka. Beto tumona luawu ayi tulembo yolukila luawu ayi lulembo kulusanunina luzingu lu kalumani, lolo luba kuidi Tata ayi lolobatumonisa. 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 YOM Momo tumona ayi tuwa mawu tukulusamunina muingi beno mamveno luba mu kithuadi ayi beto ; muaki kithuadi kieto kidi mu Tata ayi mu muanꞌandi Yesu Klisto. 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 YOM Ayi tulusonikini mambu mama mu diambu di khini eno yiba yiduka. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 YOM Tala mawu mama mambu tuwa kuidi niandi ayi tulembo kulusamunina : Nzambi widi kiezila ayi mu niandi muisi kadi tombi ko. 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 YOM Enati tulembo tubi ti tuidi mu kithuadi ayi niandi vayi tulembodiatila mu tombi, buna tulembu vuni ayi tusadilanga kiedika ko. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 YOM Vayi enati tundiatila mu kiezila banga niandi veka bukadidi mu kiezila, buna tuidi mu kithuadi kimosi ayi buna menga ma Yesu Klisto, muanꞌandi, meti kutuvedisa mu moso ka masumu. 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 YOM Muaki enati tulembo kikinina masumu meto, niandi widi wukuikamaayi wusonga mu kutulemvukilanga masumu meto ayi mu kutuvedisa mu yoso ka mbimbi. 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 YOM Enati tulembo tubi ti tuisia vola ko masumu ; buna tulembo kitula Nzambi nkua luvunu ayi mambu mandi masi ko mu 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.
