Yohane 1

Imbuli ye Ughima

1Aho mwanduso ng'ana pfinu pfose pfilumbighwe yumwe yakemighwe Imbuli tsakabaho. Imbuli ayo tsakakala ne Imulungu, naye tsakakala Imulungu. 2Yeye tsakakala ne Imulungu kulawa mwanduso. 3Kubitila yeye pfinu pfose tsapfilumbighwa, kuduhu ichinu ichilumbighwe bila yeye. 4Yeye tsakakala mwanduso wa ughima, na ughima awo tsaukala ghumwanga kwe iwanu. 5Ghumwanga ghomwemwesela ichisi, na ichisi ng'achidaha bae kughutsima.

6Tsakulawila imunu yumwe iyatumighwe ne Imulungu, taghwa lyake Yohane. 7Yohane tsakatsa kuwalongela iwanu mbuli tse ghumwanga, ili iwanu wose wahulike, waghutoghole. 8Yeye imwenyegho ng'awile bae ghumwanga, ila katsa kuwalongela iwanu imbuli ye ghumwanga. 9Aghuno ghukala ghumwanga ghwa kweli, ghumwanga ighung'ali ghukutsa muisi kumwemwesela iwanu wose.

10Imbuli tsakakala muisi, na hata ka Imulungu tsakalumba isi kubitila yeye, iwanu ng'awamtangile bae. 11Tsakatsa ukaye yake, lekeni iwanu wake ng'awambokele bae. 12Bali iwanu wose iwambokele, awala iwamtoghole, kawatenda wadahe kuwa iwana we Imulungu. 13Iwana ing'awelekighwe bae kwa uwetso we iwanu, wala kwe ngupfu tsa lukuli au unoghelo we iwanu, ila kwa uwetso we Imulungu.

14Na Imbuli ayo kawa imunu, naye kakala hamwe na twetwe. Na twetwe tuwona utunitso wake, utunitso we Imwana nyalimwe, iyatsile kulawa kwa Aba, kamema uluso na ukweli.

15Yohane tsakalonga mbuli tsake. Tsakakemelela, “Ayuno iyo iyaniwalongele, ‘Ayo iyakutsa kuchughu kwangu mkulu kubita nene kwaapfila tsakabaha ng'ana nene nyelekighwe.’ ”

16Kwa ukutimila kwa uluso wake twetwe twose tubokela ng'ani. 17Imulungu tsakatwing'a Ghamalaghitso kubitila Musa, lekeni uluso na ukweli pfakutsa kubitila Yesu Kiristu. 18Kuduhu imunu wowose iyamwonile Imulungu. Ila Imwana yaliyeka, yeghalile ne Imulungu iyelungile na Aba, iyo iyatulongele mbuli tse Imulungu.
