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, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth 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.
Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the 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 doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.
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, my children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is 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; therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth 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 that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we 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, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God;
8 Mundu jwalijose jwanganakola unonyelo, jwelejo ngakummanyilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ali unonyelo.
he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love.
9 Akunnungu ŵaulosisye unonyelo wao kukwetu kwa kuntuma Mwanagwe jwajikajikape pachilambo, kuti kwa litala lya jwelejo tukole umi wa usyene.
In this was manifested the love of God in regard to us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may 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.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation 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 ought to love one another.
12 Ngapagwa mundu jwawayiye kwawona Akunnungu, nambo twanonyelanaga Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uwe, ni unonyelo wakwe ukumalila mwetuwe.
No one hath ever seen God. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Kwa litala li tukumanyilila kuti tukutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu, ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uweji, pakuŵa atupele Mbumu jwao.
Hereby we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of 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 bear witness, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour 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 acknowledgeth that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth 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 have known and believed the love that God hath in regard to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God 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.
Herein hath love been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we 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.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 Uweji tukunonyelana pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatunonyele uweji kaje.
We love, 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 one saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?
21 Kilisito ŵatupele lilajisyo li: Mundu jwakwanonyela Akunnungu akusachilwa iyoyo annonyele ni nlongo njakwe.
And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.
