1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Waganwe msahaheteshe ashila impepo zijeziaji impepo mlole nkazifuma hwangolobhe, akuwa winchi wi leaka wafume mus'i.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Hweli mza humanye umpepo ufijile uwa ngolobhe impepo yinza humweteshe aje uYesu uKiristi ayezele nu belegwa ngolowe,
3 and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.
shila impepo ya sanga ihumweteha uYesu saga ya Ngolobhe. Ene impepo yihuhana U Kiristi elamwahayuvwezye aje ihueza eshi ilehomuns'ii.
4 Ye are of God, [my] little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
Amwe mli wahwaangolowe, wana waganwe, mliwawameni yalimhati yenyu yu Gosi ashile yali mun'sii.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they [as] of the world, and the world heareth them.
Awene wa mun'sii ziawayanga zya mun'sii awamun'sii wa huwatenjelezia.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Ate tili wa hwa Ngolobhe. Yamenye Ungolowe ahututenjelezia ate. Yasaga aliwa ngolowe sangawajie hututenyelezie. Hweli timanya impepo wa lioli nantele timanya impepo yi leaka.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.
Waganwe tigananaje tiwene tiwene shesho ugano waNgolowe, shila weka yaganile apapwilwe nu Ngolobhe na ntele amenye Ungolowe Unguluwi.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Umwene yasanga aganile saga amenye Ungolowe, shesho Ungolowe walugano.
9 Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.
Shesho oluoulugano lwa Ngolobhe lwahakwinkwiliwe mwawamo awamwetu, shesho Ungolobhe ahasontelezwa umwana wakwe mwene musi aje tidele ashilile umwene.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
Olu ulugano sagaje tahaganile, Ungolobhe yuyo ahatiganile ahatuma umwana wakwe atisombele imbiwi zyetu.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Waganwe, Ungolobhe nkatigene nate shesho tigananaje tete tete.
12 No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:
Nomo wowonti yanolile Ungolobhe Nkati ganene teet tete, Ungolobhe akhala mhati yetu Ugano lwake lumalihine mhati yetu.
13 hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
Hueli tumeye aje tikhala mhati yakwe numwene akhala mhati yetu, huje atipiye upenpo wakwe.
14 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.
Tulolile nantele tisimizishe aje udaada atumile umwana huje mfuolo winsii.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
Uno yahumweteha aje uYesu mwana wa Ngolowe, Ungolowe akhala mhati yakwe nu mwene mhati ya Ngolowe.
16 And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.
Timanya na humweteshe ulugano lwalinalo Ungolowe mhati yetu. Ungolowe lugano, umwene yakhala mhati mlugano akhala mhati mwangolowe nu ngolowe akhala mhati mwa mwene.
17 Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
Ulugano olu lumalihine hulite, tiwe ni daada isiku lilozi, tiwe nashiumwene shaleho. Nateshashele mun'sii umu.
18 There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Naaumo uwoga mhati yi lugano. Ulugano wanalioli utanga uwoga hunze, uwoga ukondana nu lunzi. Lelo umwene yahogopa sagamalihene nu lugano.
19 We love, because he first loved us.
Tisongwa aje Ungolowe atiganile hulwandilo.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.
Weka nkayaje iganile, “Ungolowe” lelo ahuvitilwa uholo wakwe uyo alinilenka shahije nkasaga uganile uholo waho yuhunola sangaugagana Ungolowe yusanga uhulola.
21 And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
Ene yindajizwo ene yatili nayo ifumile hwamwene: Wowonti yaganile Ungolowe, ahuaziwa agane nuholo wakwe wope.
