1 Yowanu
4 Enu akwetu itwakeña, bayi mwiteja mazu ejima* atiyakanaña neyi kwiji onenewaku, ilaña mazu wenowu atiyakanaña neyi onenewa,* yesekenuña kulonda mwiluki neyi afuma kudi Nzambi hela nehi, muloña atuprofwetu amavulu akutwamba anapalañeni mukaayi.
2 Ichi dichi mwatela kwiluka mazu onenewa afuma kudi Nzambi: Mazu ejima onenewa etejaña nawu Yesu Kristu wenjili mumujimba wawuntu, afuma kudi Nzambi. 3 Ilaña mazu ejima onenewa abulaña kwiteja chumichi kutalisha hadi Yesu, hiyafuma kudi Nzambiku. Kubombelahu, awa himazu onenewa afuma kudi mukwakumudimbulula Kristu imwatiyili dehi nawu nakwinza, nawa ichi awa mazu anashiki dehi mukaayi.
4 Enu anyana inakeña, enu mudi akukabadi kaNzambi nawa wena munayimiki mushindu, muloña yena wadikunda nanenu nabadiki owu wadikunda nakaayi. 5 Wena ekala akukabadi kakaayi; dichahoshelañawu yuma yamukaayi nawa kaayi kayitiyililaña. 6 Etu tudi akukabadi kaNzambi. Muntu wejima wamwiluka Nzambi, watutiyililaña; ilaña muntu wejima wabula kumwiluka Nzambi, hatutiyililañaku. Mwenimu dimutwelukilaña mazu onenewa achalala nimazu onenewa akutwamba.
7 Enu akwetu itwakeña, tutwalekenuhu kudikeña wumu namukwawu, muloña kukeña kwafuma kudi Nzambi, nawa muntu wejima wakeñaña akwawu, wavwalika kudi Nzambi nawa diyi wamwiluka Nzambi. 8 Muntu wejima wabulaña kumwekesha kukeña, hamwiluka Nzambiku, muloña Nzambi hikukeña. 9 Muloña wachumichi, Nzambi wamwekesheli kukeña kwindi hadi etu hakutemesha mukaayi Mwanindi wumu hohu kulonda tukatweshi kwikala nawumi kuhitila mudi yena. 10 Imu dimwatalisha iku kukeña, Nzambi diyi watukeñeli etu nakututemeshela Mwanindi kwikala mulambu wakufumishahu* nshidi jetu, bayi neyi yetu twamukeñeliku.
11 Enu akwetu itwakeña, neyi ichi dichi chatukeñeliyi Nzambi, dikwila nawu ninetu twatela kudikeña wumu namukwawu. 12 Kwosi muntu hela wumu wamumonahu dehi Nzambiku. Neyi tukutwalekahu kudikeña wumu namukwawu, dikwila nawu Nzambi wukutwalekahu kwikala nanetu nawa kukeña kwindi kunawanini dehi mudi etu. 13 Kuhitila muchumichi, tweluka netu twadikunda nayena niyena nawa wadikunda nanetu, muloña natwinki spiritu yindi. 14 Kubombelahu, etu tunadimweni namesu etu kapu nawa tunakushimuna wunsahu netu, Tata watemesha dehi Mwanindi kwikala Chamwinu chakaayi. 15 Muntu wejima wetejaña nindi Yesu hiMwana kaNzambi, Nzambi wadikunda namuntu wamuchidowu nawa yenowu muntu wadikunda naNzambi. 16 Nawa etu tuneluki nikwiteja kukeña kwatukeñayi Nzambi.
Nzambi hikukeña, nawa muntu watwalekañahu kushakama mukukeña diyi wadikunda naNzambi, Nzambi niyena watwalekañahu kudikunda naniwu muntu. 17 Dichi kuhitila mwenimu, kukeña anakuwanishi dehi mudi etu kulonda tukatweshi kuhosha nakukasunuka* mwifuku dawunsompeshi, muloña neyi chochadiyi yena* dichi chitudi ninetu mukanu kaayi. 18 Kukeña hikwekala nawomaku, ilaña kukeña kwawanina kwamanishaña woma, muloña woma watukañeshaña kwikala akasunuka. Chalala, muntu watiyaña woma kanda yawanini mukukeña. 19 Etu twamwekeshaña kukeña, muloña yena diyi wasambilili kutukeña.
20 Neyi muntu yahosha nindi, “Ami namukeña Nzambi,” ilaña saña ahelelayi manakwindi, dikwila nawu hintwambi. Muloña muntu wabula kukeña manakwindi amonañayi namesu, hakutwesha kukeña Nzambi abula kumonayiku. 21 Nawa tukweti ilu lushimbi lwafuma kudi yena lwakwila nawu, muntu wejima wamukeña Nzambi watela kukeña nimanakwindi nawa.
