1 Yohani 4
1 Waganwe msahaheteshe ashila impepo zijeziaji impepo mlole nkazifuma hwangolobhe, akuwa winchi wi leaka wafume mus'i.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Hweli mza humanye umpepo ufijile uwa ngolobhe impepo yinza humweteshe aje uYesu uKiristi ayezele nu belegwa ngolowe,
By this ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh is from God:
3 shila impepo ya sanga ihumweteha uYesu saga ya Ngolobhe. Ene impepo yihuhana U Kiristi elamwahayuvwezye aje ihueza eshi ilehomuns'ii.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not from God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come; and even now already it is in the world.
4 Amwe mli wahwaangolowe, wana waganwe, mliwawameni yalimhati yenyu yu Gosi ashile yali mun'sii.
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.
5 Awene wa mun'sii ziawayanga zya mun'sii awamun'sii wa huwatenjelezia.
They are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world heareth them.
6 Ate tili wa hwa Ngolobhe. Yamenye Ungolowe ahututenjelezia ate. Yasaga aliwa ngolowe sangawajie hututenyelezie. Hweli timanya impepo wa lioli nantele timanya impepo yi leaka.
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Waganwe tigananaje tiwene tiwene shesho ugano waNgolowe, shila weka yaganile apapwilwe nu Ngolobhe na ntele amenye Ungolowe Unguluwi.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 Umwene yasanga aganile saga amenye Ungolowe, shesho Ungolowe walugano.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 Shesho oluoulugano lwa Ngolobhe lwahakwinkwiliwe mwawamo awamwetu, shesho Ungolobhe ahasontelezwa umwana wakwe mwene musi aje tidele ashilile umwene.
In this was revealed the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Olu ulugano sagaje tahaganile, Ungolobhe yuyo ahatiganile ahatuma umwana wakwe atisombele imbiwi zyetu.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Waganwe, Ungolobhe nkatigene nate shesho tigananaje tete tete.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 Nomo wowonti yanolile Ungolobhe Nkati ganene teet tete, Ungolobhe akhala mhati yetu Ugano lwake lumalihine mhati yetu.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hueli tumeye aje tikhala mhati yakwe numwene akhala mhati yetu, huje atipiye upenpo wakwe.
By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 Tulolile nantele tisimizishe aje udaada atumile umwana huje mfuolo winsii.
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Uno yahumweteha aje uYesu mwana wa Ngolowe, Ungolowe akhala mhati yakwe nu mwene mhati ya Ngolowe.
Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 Timanya na humweteshe ulugano lwalinalo Ungolowe mhati yetu. Ungolowe lugano, umwene yakhala mhati mlugano akhala mhati mwangolowe nu ngolowe akhala mhati mwa mwene.
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.
17 Ulugano olu lumalihine hulite, tiwe ni daada isiku lilozi, tiwe nashiumwene shaleho. Nateshashele mun'sii umu.
In this 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.
18 Naaumo uwoga mhati yi lugano. Ulugano wanalioli utanga uwoga hunze, uwoga ukondana nu lunzi. Lelo umwene yahogopa sagamalihene nu lugano.
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.
19 Tisongwa aje Ungolowe atiganile hulwandilo.
We love him, because he first loved us.
20 Weka nkayaje iganile, “Ungolowe” lelo ahuvitilwa uholo wakwe uyo alinilenka shahije nkasaga uganile uholo waho yuhunola sangaugagana Ungolowe yusanga uhulola.
If a man saith, 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?
21 Ene yindajizwo ene yatili nayo ifumile hwamwene: Wowonti yaganile Ungolowe, ahuaziwa agane nuholo wakwe wope.
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
