1 Yohana 4
1 Achambusanga ŵangu, ngasimunkulupilila mundu jwalijose jwakuti akulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, nambo munninje nnole kanga mbumu jo akutyochela kwa Akunnungu pane ngaŵa, pakuŵa ŵakulondola ŵa unami ŵajinji akopochele pachilambo.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but examine the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Yeleyi ni ichinjile pakummanyilila mundu jwakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, mundu jwalijose jwakuitichisya kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaiche ni kuŵa mundu, mundu jo akulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in flesh is of God,
3 Nambo mundu jwalijose jwangakunjitichisya Kilisito yeleyi, jwelejo nganakola Mbumu jwakutyochela kwa Akunnungu. Mundu jo akulongoswa ni mbumu jwakwakanila Kilisito, ni mbumu jumwapilikene akwika, sambano amasile kwika pachilambo.
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, which ye have heard that it comes, and is now in the world already.
4 Ŵanyamwe ŵanache ndi ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ni mwampundile ŵakulondola ŵaunami, ligongo mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwali munkati mwenu ali jwankulu kumpunda jwele jwali munkati mwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.
Ye are of God, little children, and ye have overcome them, because greater is he in you than he in the world.
5 Ŵakulondola ŵaunami akuŵecheta indu ya pachilambo, ni ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akwapilikanila ligongo ŵelewo ali ŵa pachilambo pano.
They are of the world. Because of this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
6 Uweji tuli ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ni mundu jwalijose jwakwamanyilila Akunnungu, jwelejo akutupilikanila. Nambo mundu jwalijose jwangakummanyilila Akunnungu, jwelejo ngakutupilikanila. Yeleyo ni yatukuti pakummanyilila Mbumu jwausyene ni mbumu jwaunami.
We are of God. He who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Achambusanga ŵangu, tunonyelane, pakuŵa unonyelo ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu. Ni mundu jwalijose jwakwete unonyelo ali mwanache jwa Akunnungu ni akwamanyilila Akunnungu.
Beloved, we should love each other. Because love is of God, and every man who loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
8 Mundu jwalijose jwanganakola unonyelo, jwelejo ngakummanyilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ali unonyelo.
He who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 Akunnungu ŵaulosisye unonyelo wao kukwetu kwa kuntuma Mwanagwe jwajikajikape pachilambo, kuti kwa litala lya jwelejo tukole umi wa usyene.
By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.
10 Weleu ni unonyelo, ngaŵa kuti uweji twanonyele Akunnungu, nambo kuti ŵelewo ŵatunonyele uweji, ni ŵantumile Mwanagwe aŵe mbopesi kuti tulecheleswe sambi syetu.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.
11 Ŵakunonyelwa ŵangu, naga Akunnungu ŵatunonyele kwanti yeleyo, nipele nowe ikutuŵajila tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.
12 Ngapagwa mundu jwawayiye kwawona Akunnungu, nambo twanonyelanaga Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uwe, ni unonyelo wakwe ukumalila mwetuwe.
No man has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and his love is in us, having been fully perfected.
13 Kwa litala li tukumanyilila kuti tukutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu, ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uweji, pakuŵa atupele Mbumu jwao.
In this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us from his Spirit.
14 Noweji tuiweni ni tukwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni kuti, Atati antyosisye Mwanagwe aŵe Nkulupusyo kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.
15 Mundu jwalijose jwakuitichisya ni kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu, Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni jwele, nombejo akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 Noweji tuumanyi ni kuukulupilila unonyelo wa Akunnungu walinawo kukwetu. Akunnungu ali unonyelo ni mundu jwalijose jwakutama mu unonyelo akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu, ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni jwelejo.
And we know, and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
17 Unonyelo umalile mwetuwe, kuti tukole chilolelo pa lyuŵa Akunnungu pachiŵalamule ŵandu. Nombe chitukole chelecho pakuŵa umi wetu pachilambo pa, ukulandana ni umi wa Che Yesu Kilisito.
By this love has been fully perfected with us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because just as that man is, we also are in this world.
18 Mu unonyelo mwangali lipamba. Unonyelo waumalilwe ukutopola lipamba, pakuŵa mundu jwakwete lipamba nganaŵe kumalilwa mu unonyelo. Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete lipamba akukujogopa kulamulikwa.
Fear is not in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who is afraid has not been fully perfected in love.
19 Uweji tukunonyelana pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatunonyele uweji kaje.
We love him, because he first loved us.
20 Mundu atiji ngwanonyela Akunnungu, akuno alinkunchima nlongo njakwe, ali jwaunami. Pakuŵa mundu jwangakunnonyela nlongo njakwe jwakumbona, ngakupakombola kwanonyela Akunnungu ŵangakwaŵona.
If any man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
21 Kilisito ŵatupele lilajisyo li: Mundu jwakwanonyela Akunnungu akusachilwa iyoyo annonyele ni nlongo njakwe.
And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.
