1 John 4
1 Beloved! not in every spirit, believe ye, but test the spirits, whether they are, of God; because, many false prophets, have gone out into the world.
Waganja wangu, namumjimira kila muntu yakalonga kuwera kalongoziwa na Rohu gwa Mlungu, kumbiti mujeri handa muntu ayu kalongoziwa na Rohu gwa Mlungu ama ndala, toziya wambuyi wavuwa wa upayira walawira pasipanu.
2 Hereby, do ye perceive the Spirit of God: —every spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ as having come, in flesh, is, of God;
Ayi ndo ntambu ya kuvimana handa muntu kankulongoziwa na Rohu gwa Mlungu ama ndala, kila muntu yakatakula kuwera, nakaka Yesu Kristu kiziti na kawera muntu, muntu ayu kalongoziwa na Rohu gwa Mlungu.
3 And, every spirit that doth not confess Jesus, of God, is not. And, this, is the [spirit] of the Antichrist, touching which ye have heard that it cometh: even now, is it, in the world, already.
Kumbiti muntu yoseri yakamtakula ndiri Yesu ntambu ayi, yomberi kahera Rohu yakalawa kwa Mlungu. Muntu ayu kawera na rohu ya Mngondu gwa Kristu, mwenga mpikaniriti kala kuwera kankwiza na vinu kasoka kala mupasipanu.
4 Ye, are, of God, dear children, and have overcome them; because, greater, is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Kumbiti mwenga wana wangu, ndo wakuwi Mlungu na muwakanka kala wambuyi wa upayira, toziya Rohu yakawera mngati mwenu kana makakala kuliku rohu yakawera mngati mwa wantu wa pasipanu.
5 They, are, of the world: For this cause, of the world, they speak, and the world, unto them, doth hearken.
Wambuyi wapayira walonga vitwatira vya pasipanu na wantu wa pasipanu wawapikinira toziya womberi ndo wantu wa pasipanu.
6 We, are, of God: he that is getting to understand God, hearkeneth unto us, —whoso is not of God, hearkeneth not unto us: from this, perceive we—the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Kumbiti twenga twawantu wa Mlungu. Muntu yakamumana Mlungu, katupikinira twenga, kumbiti muntu yoseri yakamumana ndiri Mlungu, yomberi hapeni katupikiniri. Su kwa ntambu ayi tuweza kuvimana kuwera kwana Rohu gwa unakaka na rohu gwa upayira.
7 Beloved! let us be loving one another; because, love, is, of God, and, whosoever loveth, of God, hath been born, and is getting to understand God:
Waganja wangu, tulifiri twenga kwa twenga, toziya ufiru ulawa kwa Mlungu. Kila muntu yakawera na ufiru kawera mwana gwa Mlungu na yomberi kamumana Mlungu.
8 He that doth not love, doth not understand God, because, God, is, love.
Muntu yoseri yakahera ufiru kamumana ndiri Mlungu, toziya Mlungu ndo ufiru.
9 Herein, hath the love of God in us, been made manifest, that, his only-begotten Son, God sent into the world, in order that we might live through him.
Na Mlungu kalanguziyiti ufiru wakuwi kwa twenga kwa kumtuma Mwana gwakuwi gwa gweka pasipanu, su tuweri na ukomu kupitira yomberi.
10 Herein, is love: not that, we, have loved God, but that, he, loved us, and sent forth his Son, as a propitiation concerning our sins.
Agu ndo ufiru, twenga ndiri yatumfiriti Mlungu, kumbiti Mlungu ndo yakatufiriti twenga, su kamtumiti Mwana gwakuwi kaweri tambiku yayilaviwitwi toziya ya ulekiziwu wa vidoda vyetu.
11 Beloved! If, in this way, God, loved us, we also, ought to love, one another.
Waganja wangu, handa Mlungu katufiriti ntambu ayi, su twenga tufiruwa kulifira twaweni kwa twaweni.
12 Upon God, hath no one, at any time, gazed: If we love one another, God, in us, abideth, and, his love, hath been perfected within us.
Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti Mlungu nakamu, kumbiti handa patulifira twaweni kwa twaweni, Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na twenga na ufiru wakuwi uwera teratera mngati mwetu.
13 Hereby, perceive we—that, in him, are we abiding, and, he, in us, —in that, of his Spirit, hath he given unto us.
Tuvimana kuwera twenga tulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu na Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na twenga, toziya mweni katupanana Rohu gwakuwi.
14 And, we, for ourselves have gazed, and are bearing witness—that, the Father, sent forth the Son, as Saviour of the world.
Na twenga tuwona na kukapitaulira kuwera Tati kamtumiti Mwana gwakuwi su kaweri Mlopoziya gwa wantu wa pasipanu poseri.
15 Whosoever shall confess, that, Jesus [Christ] is the Son of God, God, in him, abideth, and, he, in God.
Handa Kila muntu yakajimira kuwera Yesu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu, Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na muntu ayu, nayomberi kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu.
16 And, we, have come to understand and to trust the love which, God, hath, in us. God, is, love; and, he that abideth in love, in God, abideth, and, God, in him [abideth].
Su twenga tuvimana na tujimira ufiru yakaweriti nawu Mlungu kwa twenga. Mlungu ndo ufiru na kila muntu yakalikala muufiru, kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu na Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na yomberi.
17 Herein, hath love with us, been made perfect, —in order that, boldness, we might have in the day of judging, —in that, just as, He, is, we also, are, in this world.
Kwa njira ayi, ufiru uwera teratera mngati mwenu su natutira mulishaka lilii lya utoza, toziya makaliru getu pasipanu galifana na galii ga Kristu.
18 Fear, existeth not, in love, but, perfect love, casteth fear, outside; because, fear, hath correction: he that feareth, hath not been made perfect, in love.
Muwufiru kwahera lyoga. Kumbiti ufiru yawuwera teratera uwinga lyoga lyoseri, lyoga liza toziya wantu wankutira azabu. Muntu ulii yakawera na lyoga kawera teratera ndiri muufiru.
19 We, love, because, he, first loved us: —
Twenga tuwera na ufiru toziya Mlungu katufiriti kwanja.
20 If one should say, I love God, and should be hating, his brother, false, is he; for, he that doth not love his brother, whom he hath seen, God, whom he hath not seen, he cannot love!
Muntu pakalonga, “Numufira Mlungu,” kumbiti kankumkalalira mlongu gwakuwi, yomberi kawera mpayira. Toziya kila muntu yakamfira ndiri mlongu gwakuwi yakamwona, hapeni kamfiri Mlungu yakamwona ndiri.
21 And, this commandment, have we from him, —that, he who loveth God, love, his brother also.
Na Kristu katupananiti lilagaliru ali, muntu yoseri yakamfira Mlungu, viraa kafiruwa kamfiri mlongu gwakuwi.
