Introduction to 1 John
2 ZGAM Nuwumi vula wapeliwe ukhuvoneka pavuvalafu, Pivu tuvuwene, nukunchova, nukhuvavula uwumu uwajumavagoni, vuula uvuwale khwa Dada Pivu vukhamanyikhekha khulwufuwe 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 ZGAM Khile ikyutukhiwene nukhupulika tukhuvavula numwe, ukhuta tuhangilanile paninie nufwe, Nululundamano lyetu paninie nu Daada nunswambe U-Yesu Krist. 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 ZGAM Tukhuuasimbila amamenyu agaumwe ukhuta uluhekhelo lyutu lunogelanile. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 ZGAM Aga gu mamenyu ugutupulikhe ukhuhuma khumwene nakuvavula: Unguluve ve lumulu mugaati mumwenu mulenchila hisi napadebe. 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 ZGAM Tungave twita tulipapuninie numwene vutugenda muhisi, pivu twiva tukhesyova rweivene pivu satuvomba uvuyilweli. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 ZGAM Pivu tugendage mundumuli nduvuumwe aleindumuli, tutangilanila yufwe khwa yufwe nu nkisa gwa Yesu Kristi, unswambe nukhutuvalancha ukhuhuma mumbivi cheitu. 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 ZGAM Pivu tungapele inongwa cheitu, umwene eigolofu nuwayilweli ukhutusyeikila inongwa cheitu nukhutuvalancha uvuvivi woni. 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 ZGAM Pivu tungave twieta satutulile inongwa, pivu twita umwene ideesi, ni limenyu lya mwene lisimuli mugaati ndyufwe. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
