1 John 4
1 Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;
Alowa, leki ku huiili kila nkolo, kuiti igemi inkolo mihenge anga ize ipembenkanilye ni Itunda, ku nsoko anya kidagu idu nia uteele apembeeye mu ingu.
2 in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,
Ku ili muku mulinga uNg'wau Ng'welu nuang'wa Itunda - kila Nkolo ni ikalapa kina uYesu Kristo uzile mu muili ingi ang'wa Itunda,
3 and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
hangi kila nkolo ni shanga ilapaa kung'wa Yesu shanga ang'wa Itunda. Iyi ingi nkolo a mukingila Kristo, naiiza mumigulye kina ipembilye, ni itungili yakondaa kutula ikoli mi ihi.
4 Ye — of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.
Unyenye ingi miang'wa Itunda, ana alowa, hangi makondyaa kuakilya kunsoko ung'wenso nukoli mukati anyu ingi mukulu kukila ung'wenso nukoli mu unkumbigulu.
5 They — of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;
Ni anso ingi a unkumbigulu, ku lulo niakukiligitya ingi ka unkumbigulu, nu unkumbigulu wiategeelya.
6 we — of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.
Usese ingi kiang'wa Itunda, uNg'wenso numulingile Itunda wikutegeelya usese, uNg'wenso ni shanga wang'wa Itunda shanga wikutegeelya. Mu ili kilingaa i nkolo a tai ni nkolo a uteele.
7 Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;
Alowa, kilowe sese ku sese, ku iti u ulowa ingi wang'wa Itunda, ni kila ung'wi nuilowaa utugilwe ni Itunda nu kumulinga Itunda.
8 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
uNg'wenso nishanga wilowaa shanga umulingile Itunda, kunsoko Itunda ingi Ulowa.
9 In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son — the only begotten — hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;
Mu ili ulowa nuang'wa Itundaai ukunukuwe mukati itu, kina Itunda ai umulagiite ung'wana nuakwe nuing'wene mu unkumbigulu iti kikie kukiila Ng'wenso.
10 in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.
Mu ulowa uwu, shanga kina ai kumuloilwe Itunda, kuiti ng'wenso ai ukuloilwe, nu kumulagiilya u ng'wana nuakwe watule usukiilya nua milandu itu.
11 Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
Alowa, anga ize Itunda ai ukuloilwe usese, ku u kutakiwe kilowa sese ku sese.
12 God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;
Kutili ga nung'wi nai umihengile Itunda, Anga kilowe sese ku sese, Itunda wikiie mukati itu nu ulowa nuakwe wikondaniiligwa mukati itu.
13 in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.
Mu ili kulingile kina kikiie mukati akwe nu ng'wenso mukati itu, kunsoko ukinkiiye uNg'wau Ng'welu nuakwe.
14 And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;
Hangi kihengaa nu kukuila kina uTata umulagiiye uNg'wana kutula muguni nua unkumbigulu.
15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;
Kila nuilapaa kina uYesu ingi ng'wana wang'wa Itunda, Itunda wikiie mukati akwe nu ng'wenso mukati ang'wa Itunda.
16 and we — we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.
Hangi kulingile nu ku uhuiila u ulowa nu ukete Itunda mukati itu. Itunda ingi ulowa, nu ng'wenso wikiie mukati a ulowa nu kikiie mukati ang'wa Itunda, nu Itunda wikiie mukati akwe.
17 In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we — we also are in this world;
Mu ulowa uwu wakondaniiligwa mu kati itu, iti kutule nu ugimya luhiku nula ulamulwa, kunsoko anga ung'wenso nuili, nu sese uu kili mu unkumbigulu uwu.
18 fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;
Kutili u woa mukati a ulowa. Kuiti u ulowa nu ukondile wiuguma uwoa kunzi, ku nsoko u woa wikigendi nu ulamulwa. Kuiti ung'wenso nuitumbaa shanga ukondaniigwe mu ulowa.
19 we — we love him, because He — He first loved us;
Kilowa kunsoko Itunda ai ukuloilwe hanza.
20 if any one may say — 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God — whom he hath not seen — how is he able to love?
Anga ize ung'wi wikaligitya, “Numuloilwe Itunda” kuiti umubipiwe u muluna nuakwe, ingi muteele. Kunsoko ni shanga umuloilwe u muluna nuakwe, nuimihengaa, shanga ujumile kumulowa Itunda ni shanga wimihenga.
21 and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
Hangi ili lilo ilagiilyo ni kulikete kupuma kitalakwe: Wihi muimulowa Itunda, utakiwe kumulowa ga nu muluna nuakwe.
