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.
BELOVED, believe not every pretender to inspiration, but bring these spirits to the trial whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone forth 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.
By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesseth that Jesus the Messiah is come in the flesh, is from 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 confesseth not that Jesus the Messiah is come into the world, is not from God: and this is that spirit of antichrist which ye have heard that it is coming, and now is already 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.
Ye are of God, my dear children, and have overcome them; because he that is in you is greater than he that 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 speak they as of the world, and the world heareth 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: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of delusion.
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.
Beloved, let us love one another; because love is from God, and every one who loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 Muntu yoseri yakahera ufiru kamumana ndiri Mlungu, toziya Mlungu ndo ufiru.
He that loveth not, never knew 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.
By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by 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.
Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.
11 Waganja wangu, handa Mlungu katufiriti ntambu ayi, su twenga tufiruwa kulifira twaweni kwa twaweni.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also 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 man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth 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.
By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own 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 bear testimony, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour 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.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth 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 which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth 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.
By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so 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 this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love.
19 Twenga tuwera na ufiru toziya Mlungu katufiriti kwanja.
We love him, because he 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 any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen?
21 Na Kristu katupananiti lilagaliru ali, muntu yoseri yakamfira Mlungu, viraa kafiruwa kamfiri mlongu gwakuwi.
So this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.
