1 John 4
1 BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Omwasunika, kamutashomanga muntu uliyense lambangeti ukute mushimu wa Lesa, nsombi mwelela kubelesha kwambeti mubone na nicakubinga eti bakute mushimu weshikufuma kuli Lesa. Mwelela kwinseco pakwinga bashinshimi bandemishibili balamwaiki kuli konse.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Ngamwinshiba mushimu wa Lesa munshila iyi; Uliyense lasumininga kwambeti Yesu Klistu walesa mubuntu, wopeloyo elafumunga kuli Lesa.
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Nsombi uliyense lakananga Yesu, wopeloyo nkakute kufuma kuli Lesa. mwalanyumfweti lakesanga, neco mwali kendi mucishi.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Nsombi amwe mobana bame mulabakomo kendi bashinshimi bandemi shibili kayi mobana ba Lesa. Pakwinga mushimu uli mulinjamwe ukute ngofu kupita uyo uli muli abo basuni bya pacishi capanshi.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
Bashinshimi bandemi shibili bakute kwamba bintu byapacishi capanshi, naco cishi cikute kubanyumfwila, pakwinga nibapacishi capanshi
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Nsombi afwe tobantu bakendi Lesa, neco uliyense wabula kuba wa Lesa nkela kutukutikila sobwe. Encotukute kwishiba mushimu walulama ne mushimu waipa.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Omwasunika, katusunananga pakwinga lusuno lukute kufuma kuli Lesa. Uliyense uyo ukute lusuno, nimwana mwana wa Lesa, kayi umwinshi Lesa.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Uliyense wabula lusuno nkamwinshipo Lesa, pakwinga Lesa ni lusuno.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Pakwinga Lesa walalesha lusuno lwakendi palinjafwe mpwalatuma mwanendi kwisa mucishi capanshi kwambeti tube ne buyumi kupitila muli endiye.
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.
Lino lusuno lwine lwine ni ulu, nsombi Lesa ewalatusuna afwe, kayi walatuma mwanendi kwambeti abe cipo cakulekelela kwa bwipishi bwetu.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Omwasunika na Lesa walatusuna, nenjafwe twelela kusunana.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Kuliyawa walamubona Lesa, nsombi afwe twasunananga Lesa ukute kwikala muli njafwe, kayi lusuno lwakendi lulashimpi mulinjafwe.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
Tucinshi kwambeti tukute kwikala muli Lesa kayi nendi ukute kwikala muli njafwe pakwinga walatupa Mushimu Uswepa.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
Afwe tulabono kayi tobakamboni ba makani akwambeti Bata balatuma Mwana wakendi kwambeti abe mupulushi wa bantu ba pacishi capanshi conse.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Uliyense lasuminga kwambeti Yesu ni Mwana Lesa, ukute kwikala muli Lesa kayi Lesa ukute kwikala muli endiye.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Neco afwe tucinshi kayi twashoma kwambeti Lesa utusuni. Lesa elusuno kayi muntu ukute buyumi bwa lusuno uli muli Lesa, Kayi Lesa ukute kwikala muli endiye.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Lusuno lulakulu mulinjafwe kayi buyumi bwetu mucishi capanshi bulyeti bwa Klistu, kayi myoyo ilayumu kwambeti ngatukumana ne busuba bwakombolosha.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Muntu ukute lusuno liyawa buyowa, pakwinga lusuno lwashimpa lukute kupwisha buyowa. Neco lusuno nkalwashimpa mu muntu uliyense ukute buyowa, latininga cisubulo.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Tukute kusuna Lesa pakwinga ewalatanguna kutusuna.
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, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Na muntu wambeti ndimusuni Lesa nsombi nkatasuni mukwabo ekwambeti labepenga, pakwinga muntu utasuni mukwabo ngwalabononga nkela kusuna Lesa uyo ngwatana abonapo.
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Mulawo ngwalatupa niwakwambeti layandanga kusuna Lesa asune mukwabo.
