1 Yohani 4
1 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.
Most beloved, do not be willing to believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 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.
The Spirit of God may be known in this way. Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh is of God;
3 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.
and every spirit who contradicts Jesus is not of God. And this one is the Antichrist, the one that you have heard is coming, and even now he is in the world.
4 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.
Little sons, you are of God, and so you have overcome him. For he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5 Wambuyi wapayira walonga vitwatira vya pasipanu na wantu wa pasipanu wawapikinira toziya womberi ndo wantu wa pasipanu.
They are of the world. Therefore, they speak about the world, and the world listens to them.
6 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.
We are of God. Whoever knows God, listens to us. Whoever is not of God, does not listen to us. In this way, we know the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.
7 Waganja wangu, tulifiri twenga kwa twenga, toziya ufiru ulawa kwa Mlungu. Kila muntu yakawera na ufiru kawera mwana gwa Mlungu na yomberi kamumana Mlungu.
Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8 Muntu yoseri yakahera ufiru kamumana ndiri Mlungu, toziya Mlungu ndo ufiru.
Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.
9 Na Mlungu kalanguziyiti ufiru wakuwi kwa twenga kwa kumtuma Mwana gwakuwi gwa gweka pasipanu, su tuweri na ukomu kupitira yomberi.
The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
10 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.
In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.
11 Waganja wangu, handa Mlungu katufiriti ntambu ayi, su twenga tufiruwa kulifira twaweni kwa twaweni.
Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti Mlungu nakamu, kumbiti handa patulifira twaweni kwa twaweni, Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na twenga na ufiru wakuwi uwera teratera mngati mwetu.
No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Tuvimana kuwera twenga tulikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu na Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na twenga, toziya mweni katupanana Rohu gwakuwi.
In this way, we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he has given to us from his Spirit.
14 Na twenga tuwona na kukapitaulira kuwera Tati kamtumiti Mwana gwakuwi su kaweri Mlopoziya gwa wantu wa pasipanu poseri.
And we have seen, and we testify, that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Handa Kila muntu yakajimira kuwera Yesu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu, Mlungu kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na muntu ayu, nayomberi kalikala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu.
Whoever has confessed that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 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.
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. And he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.
17 Kwa njira ayi, ufiru uwera teratera mngati mwenu su natutira mulishaka lilii lya utoza, toziya makaliru getu pasipanu galifana na galii ga Kristu.
In this way, the love of God is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment. For as he is, so also are we, in this world.
18 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.
Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.
19 Twenga tuwera na ufiru toziya Mlungu katufiriti kwanja.
Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us.
20 Muntu pakalonga, “Numufira Mlungu,” kumbiti kankumkalalira mlongu gwakuwi, yomberi kawera mpayira. Toziya kila muntu yakamfira ndiri mlongu gwakuwi yakamwona, hapeni kamfiri Mlungu yakamwona ndiri.
If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?
21 Na Kristu katupananiti lilagaliru ali, muntu yoseri yakamfira Mlungu, viraa kafiruwa kamfiri mlongu gwakuwi.
And this is the commandment that we have from God, that he who loves God must also love his brother.
