1 John 4
1 Dearely beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits whether they are of God: for many false prophets are gone out into this worlde.
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.
2 Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, Euery spirit which confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.
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.
3 And euery spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whome ye haue heard, how that he should come, and nowe already he is in this world.
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.
4 Litle children, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in this world.
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.
5 They are of this worlde, therefore speake they of this world, and this world heareth them.
Ŵakulondola ŵaunami akuŵecheta indu ya pachilambo, ni ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akwapilikanila ligongo ŵelewo ali ŵa pachilambo pano.
6 We are of God, he that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Heereby knowe wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.
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.
7 Beloued, let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God, and euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God.
Achambusanga ŵangu, tunonyelane, pakuŵa unonyelo ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu. Ni mundu jwalijose jwakwete unonyelo ali mwanache jwa Akunnungu ni akwamanyilila Akunnungu.
8 Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.
Mundu jwalijose jwanganakola unonyelo, jwelejo ngakummanyilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ali unonyelo.
9 Herein was that loue of God made manifest amongst vs, because God sent that his onely begotten sonne into this world, that we might liue through him.
Akunnungu ŵaulosisye unonyelo wao kukwetu kwa kuntuma Mwanagwe jwajikajikape pachilambo, kuti kwa litala lya jwelejo tukole umi wa usyene.
10 Herein is that loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his Sonne to be a reconciliation for our sinnes.
Weleu ni unonyelo, ngaŵa kuti uweji twanonyele Akunnungu, nambo kuti ŵelewo ŵatunonyele uweji, ni ŵantumile Mwanagwe aŵe mbopesi kuti tulecheleswe sambi syetu.
11 Beloued, if God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another.
Ŵakunonyelwa ŵangu, naga Akunnungu ŵatunonyele kwanti yeleyo, nipele nowe ikutuŵajila tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
12 No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs.
Ngapagwa mundu jwawayiye kwawona Akunnungu, nambo twanonyelanaga Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uwe, ni unonyelo wakwe ukumalila mwetuwe.
13 Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in vs: because he hath giuen vs of his Spirit.
Kwa litala li tukumanyilila kuti tukutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu, ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uweji, pakuŵa atupele Mbumu jwao.
14 And we haue seene, and doe testifie, that the Father sent that Sonne to be ye Sauiour of the world.
Noweji tuiweni ni tukwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni kuti, Atati antyosisye Mwanagwe aŵe Nkulupusyo kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.
15 Whosoeuer confesseth that Iesus is the Sone of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.
Mundu jwalijose jwakuitichisya ni kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu, Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni jwele, nombejo akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
16 And we haue knowen, and beleeued ye loue that God hath in vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
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.
17 Herein is that loue perfect in vs, that we should haue boldnes in the day of iudgement: for as he is, euen so are we in this world.
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.
18 There is no feare in loue, but perfect loue casteth out feare: for feare hath painefulnesse: and he that feareth, is not perfect in loue.
Mu unonyelo mwangali lipamba. Unonyelo waumalilwe ukutopola lipamba, pakuŵa mundu jwakwete lipamba nganaŵe kumalilwa mu unonyelo. Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete lipamba akukujogopa kulamulikwa.
19 We loue him, because he loued vs first.
Uweji tukunonyelana pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatunonyele uweji kaje.
20 If any man say, I loue God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God whom he hath not seene?
Mundu atiji ngwanonyela Akunnungu, akuno alinkunchima nlongo njakwe, ali jwaunami. Pakuŵa mundu jwangakunnonyela nlongo njakwe jwakumbona, ngakupakombola kwanonyela Akunnungu ŵangakwaŵona.
21 And this commandement haue we of him, that he that loueth God, should loue his brother also.
Kilisito ŵatupele lilajisyo li: Mundu jwakwanonyela Akunnungu akusachilwa iyoyo annonyele ni nlongo njakwe.
