Introduction to 1 John
2 ZAJP Munhu ino ayo yali ugima, kagubuligwa kumwetu, na tumona. Na sambi tompeta na kuwalongela mweye kamba heyo iyo ugima wa digunge. Kakala na Tata, abaho kagubuligwa kumwetu. 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 ZAJP Towapetela mweye kija kituchonile na kukihulika giladi na mweye vivija muilumbe hamoja na tweye. Tweye twa hamoja na Tata na Mwanage Yesu Kilisto. 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 ZAJP Towandikileni mbuli zino giladi deng'ho jetu divikizwe. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 ZAJP Uno uwo usenga utuhulike kulawa ha Yesu Kilisto na toupeta kumwenu kamba Mulungu iyo mulangaza na mgati yake mduhu ziza. 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 ZAJP Kamba tuhalonga twa hamoja na heyo na kuno totembela mdiziza, tovwiza, na hatutenda gaja gali kweli. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 ZAJP Ila kamba tuhatembela mmulangaza, kamba heyo viyali mmulangaza, tuna uhamoja wa wenyego kwa wenyego, na mulopa wa Yesu, mwanage, wotung'aliza kulawa m'vilozo vose. 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 ZAJP Ila kamba tuhavitogola vilozo vetu haulongozi wa Mulungu, heyo kana kweli na kabule uzenzeleganye na kotugela kumgongo vilozo vetu na kotung'aliza kulawa muuzenzeleganye wose utulinao. 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 ZAJP Kamba tuhalonga hatutendile vilozo, tomtenda heyo kuwa m'vwizi, na mbuli yake haili mgati 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.
