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.
Mwava nkozi vangu, mkoto kumsadika kila mundu mweijova ilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga, ndi mumlinga hoti mmanya ngati chakaka Mpungu mwenuyo ihuma kwa Chapanga amala lepi, ndava muni kuvi na vamlota vamahele va udese pamulima.
2 Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, Euery spirit which confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.
Yeni ndi njila ya kumanya kuvya mundu ilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga, kila mundu mweiyidakila Yesu Kilisitu abwelili na kuvya mundu, mwenuyo ndi ilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
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.
Nambu kila mundu mwangayidakila ago ndava ya Yesu mundu mwenuyo ilongoswa lepi na mpungu wewihuma kwa Chapanga. Na mwenuyo ilongoswa na Mpungu wa yula mweakumbela Kilisitu Mpungu mwenuyo mwemwayuwini kuvya ibwela na hinu amali kubwela pamulima.
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.
Mwavana nyenye, ndi vandu va Chapanga, na mmalili kuvahotola vamlota va udese ndava Mpungu wa Chapanga mweavili mugati yinu ana makakala kuliku yula mweavili mugati ya vandu va mulima uwu.
5 They are of this worlde, therefore speake they of this world, and this world heareth them.
Vamlota venavo ndi vandu va mulima vijova mambu ga mulima na vandu va pamulima vakuvayuwanila ndava muni vene ndi va pamulima.
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.
Nambu tete tavandu va Chapanga. Na mundu yoyoha mweammanyili Chapanga akutiyuwanila tete, mweangavya wa Chapanga akutiyuwanila lepi. Chenichi ndi chetihotola kummanya Mpungu wa chakaka na mpungu wa udese.
7 Beloued, let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God, and euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God.
Vankozi vangu tiganana muni uganu uhuma kwa Chapanga. Mundu yoyoha mweavili na uganu mwenuyo ndi mwana wa Chapanga na ammanyili Chapanga.
8 Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.
Mundu yoyoha mwangali uganu ammanyi lepi Chapanga, ndava Chapanga ndi uganu.
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.
Chapanga alangisi uganu waki kwa kumtuma Mwana waki ngamwene pamulima, muni tivya na wumi wa chakaka.
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.
Uwu ndi uganu, tete lepi mwatamugani Chapanga, nambu mwene atiganili tete ndi amtumili Mwana waki avyayi luteta lwa kutiwusila kumbudila kwitu Chapanga.
11 Beloued, if God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another.
Vankozi vangu, yikavya Chapanga atiganili chenicho, na tete tiganikiwa tigananayi.
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.
Kawaka mundu mweamuweni Chapanga lukumbi lwolwoha lula, ngati tiganana, ndi Chapanga itama mukuwungana na tete na uganu waki udandasika mugati yitu.
13 Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in vs: because he hath giuen vs of his Spirit.
Timanyi kuvya titama mukuwunga na Chapanga na mwene itama mukuwungana na tete, ndava atipelili Mpungu waki Msopi.
14 And we haue seene, and doe testifie, that the Father sent that Sonne to be ye Sauiour of the world.
Tete tilolili na kuvajovela vangi kuvya Dadi amutumili Mwana waki pamulima avyayi Msangula wa pamulima.
15 Whosoeuer confesseth that Iesus is the Sone of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.
Kila mundu mweiyidakila na kujova kuvya Yesu ndi Mwana wa Chapanga, Chapanga itama mukuwungana nayu, na mwene mukuwungana na Chapanga.
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.
Na tete timanyili na kuusadika uganu wa Chapanga weavi nawu ndava yitu. Chapanga ndi uganu, ndi mundu yoyoha mweitama muuganu vitama mukuwungana na Chapanga na Chapanga itama mukuwungana nayu.
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.
Uganu udandasiki mugati yitu ndava tihotola kuvya na ukekesi ligono lila la uhamula, na tivya nawu ndava muni titama ngati Kilisitu cheatamili.
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.
Pepavili na uganu kawaka wogohi. Ena! Uganu waudandasiki uvinga wogohi woha, muni mundu mweavi na wogohi adandasiki lepi muuganu. Muni mundu mweavi na wogohi iyogopa kuhamuliwa.
19 We loue him, because he loued vs first.
Tete tigana ndava Chapanga atumbwili kutigana tete.
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 akajova nimganili Chapanga na kuni amvengili mlongo waki ana udese. Ndava mundu mwangamgana mlongo waki mweakumlola ihotola wuli kumgana Chapanga mweangamuwona?
21 And this commandement haue we of him, that he that loueth God, should loue his brother also.
Hinu, mihilu yeniyi ndi yetipewili na Kilisitu ndi aga: Mundu mwakumgana Chapanga iganikiwa mewa amgana mlongo waki.
