1 John 4
1 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.
Abhendwa, mutekilishaga bhuli Mwoyo, mbe nawe nimujisakega emioyo mujilole alabha ejisoka ku Nyamuanga, ku nsonga abhalagi bhafu abho lulimi bhabhonekene mu chalo.
2 By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in flesh is of God,
Mu linu omutula okumumenya Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga- bhuli Mwoyo gunu ogwikilisha ati Yesu Kristo ejile mu mubhili ni wa Nyamuanga,
3 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.
no Mwoyo gunu gutakumwikilisha Yesu gutali gwa Nyamuanga. Gunu ni Mwoyo gwo kumulema Kristo, gunu mwonguywe ati gwejile, na wolyanu bhwangu gulu mu Chalo.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and ye have overcome them, because greater is he in you than he in the world.
Emwe muli bha Nyamuanga, abhana abhendwa, na mwamalile okubhaiga ku nsonga unu abhalimo emwe ni mukulu kukila unu ali mu Chalo.
5 They are of the world. Because of this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Bhenene ni bha mu Chalo, kulwejo chinu abhaika ni je chalo, ne Chalo echibhategelesha.
6 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.
Eswe chili bha Nyamuanga. Mwenene unu kamumenya Nyamuanga kachungwa eswe. omwene unu atali wa Nyamuanga atakutula kuchitegelesha. Mu linu echimenya Mwoyo we chimali na Mwoyo wo lulimi.
7 Beloved, we should love each other. Because love is of God, and every man who loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
Abhendwa, chendane eswe abhene kwa bhene, lwa kutyo okwenda ni kwa Nyamuanga, na bhuli umwi unu Kenda ebhuywe na Nyamuanga no kumumenya Nyamuanga.
8 He who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Omwene unu atakwenda atakumumenya Nyamuanga, ku nsonga Nyamuanga ni lyenda.
9 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.
Okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kwasuluywe mwiswe, ati Nyamuanga amutumile omwana waye enyele-la mu chalo koleleki chilamile okulabha ku mwene.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.
Mu lyenda linu, atali ati chamwendele Nyamuanga, mbe nawe omwene niwe achendele, no kumutuma omwana waye abhe chogo kulwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.
Abhendwa, alabha Nyamuanga achendele eswe, nikwo kutyo kuchiile eswe one okwendana abhene kwa bhene.
12 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.
Atalio nolwo umwi unu alamulolele Nyamuanga. Alabha chikendana eswe abhene kwa bhene, Nyamuanga achikayemo Munda yeswe ne lyenda lyaye likumiye mwiswe.
13 In this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us from his Spirit.
Mu linu echimenya ati chikaye mu mwene no mwene mwiswe, ku nsonga achiyaye Mwoyo waye.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.
Chilolele no kubhambalila ati Lata amutumile omwana waye ati abhe mwelusi we Chalo.
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
Bhuli unu kekilisha ati Yesu ni mwana wa Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kekala mu mwene no mwene mu Nyamuanga.
16 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.
Ne echimenya no kwikilisha elyenda linu Nyamuanga ali nalyo mwiswe. Nyamuanga ni kwenda, no mwene unu kekala mu lyenda kekala munda ya Nyamuanga, na Nyamuanga one kekala munda yaye.
17 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.
Mu lyenda linu lyamalile okukumisibhwa agati yeswe, koleleki chibhe no bhubhasi ku lusiku lwa indamu, ku nsonga lwa kutyo mwene ali, neswe one nikwo kutyo chili mu Chalo chinu.
18 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.
Mu kwenda bhutalimo bhubha. Mbe nawe elyenda linu likumiye eibhwesa anja, ku nsonga obhubha bhililene na indamu. Mbe nawe omwene unu kobhaya atakumisibhwe mu lyenda.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Echenda kulwo kubha Nyamuanga achendele okwamba.
20 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?
Akabha oumwi akaika ati, “Enimwenda Nyamuanga” Mbe nawe amusokele owabho, ni mulimi. Ku nsonga unu atakumwenda owabho, unu kamulola, atakutula okumwenda Nyamuanga unu achaliga kumulola.
21 And we have this commandment from him, so that he who loves God will also love his brother.
Na chinu nicho echilagilo chinu chili nacho okusoka ku mwene: wona wona unu kamwenda Nyamuanga, kumwiile amwende no wabho one.
