1 Yohana 4
1 Wapendwa, msiiamini kila roho, lakini zijaribuni roho muone kama zinatokana na Mungu, kwa sababu manabii wengi wa uongo wametokea duniani.
Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ παντὶ πνεύματι πιστεύετε, ἀλλὰ δοκιμάζετε τὰ πνεύματα, εἰ ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐστιν, ὅτι πολλοὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐξεληλύθασιν εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
2 Kwa hili mtamjua Roho wa Mungu - kila roho itakayokiri kuwa Yesu Kristo amekuja katika mwili ni ya Mungu,
Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκετε τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ: πᾶν πνεῦμα ὃ ὁμολογεῖ ˚Ἰησοῦν ˚Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθότα, ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐστιν,
3 na kila roho isiyomkiri Yesu si ya Mungu. Hii ni roho ya mpinga kristo, ambayo mliyoisikia kuwa inakuja, na sasa tayari iko duniani.
καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα ὃ μὴ ὁμολογεῖ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν. Καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ τοῦ ἀντιχρίστου, ὃ ἀκηκόατε ὅτι ἔρχεται, καὶ νῦν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἐστὶν ἤδη.
4 Ninyi ni wa Mungu, watoto wapendwa, na mmekwisha washinda kwa sababu yeye aliye ndani yenu ni mkuu kuliko yeye aliye katika ulimwengu.
Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐστε, τεκνία, καὶ νενικήκατε αὐτούς, ὅτι μείζων ἐστὶν ὁ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἢ ὁ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ.
5 Wao ni wa ulimwengu, kwa hiyo wanachokisema ni cha ulimwengu, na ulimwengu unawasikiliza.
Αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου εἰσίν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου λαλοῦσιν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτῶν ἀκούει.
6 Sisi ni wa Mungu. Yeye amjuaye Mungu hutusikiliza sisi. Yeye asiye wa Mungu hawezi kutusikiliza. Katika hili tunajua roho wa kweli na roho wa uongo.
Ἡμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐσμεν. Ὁ γινώσκων τὸν ˚Θεὸν, ἀκούει ἡμῶν, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, οὐκ ἀκούει ἡμῶν. Ἐκ τούτου γινώσκομεν τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς πλάνης.
7 Wapendwa, tupendane sisi kwa sisi, kwa vile upendo ni wa Mungu, na kila mmoja apendaye amezaliwa na Mungu na kumjua Mungu.
Ἀγαπητοί, ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐστιν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν, ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ γεγέννηται, καὶ γινώσκει τὸν ˚Θεόν.
8 Yeye asiyependa hamjui Mungu, kwa sababu Mungu ni upendo.
Ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν, οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν ˚Θεόν, ὅτι ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν.
9 Katika hili pendo la Mungu lilifunuliwa miongoni mwetu, kwamba Mungu alimtuma Mwanae wa pekee ulimwenguni ili tuishi kupitia yeye.
Ἐν τούτῳ ἐφανερώθη ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, τὸν μονογενῆ, ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ ˚Θεὸς εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ἵνα ζήσωμεν διʼ αὐτοῦ.
10 Katika hili pendo, si kwamba tulimpenda Mungu, lakini yeye alitupenda, na akamtuma Mwanawe awe fidia ya dhambi zetu.
Ἐν τούτῳ ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη, οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήκαμεν τὸν ˚Θεόν, ἀλλʼ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ἱλασμὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν.
11 Wapendwa, ikiwa Mungu alitupenda sisi, vile vile tunapaswa kupendana sisi kwa sisi.
Ἀγαπητοί, εἰ οὕτως ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν.
12 Hakuna hata mmoja aliyemuona Mungu. Kama tukipendana sisi kwa sisi, Mungu anakaa ndani yetu na pendo lake limekamilika ndani yetu.
˚Θεὸν οὐδεὶς πώποτε τεθέαται, ἐὰν ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν μένει, καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη αὐτοῦ τετελειωμένη ἐν ἡμῖν ἐστίν.
13 Katika hili tunajua kuwa tunakaa ndani yake na yeye ndani yetu, kwa sababu ametupa Roho wake.
Ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν, ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ μένομεν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ δέδωκεν ἡμῖν.
14 Na tumeona na kushuhudia kuwa Baba amemtuma Mwana kuwa mwokozi wa ulimwengu.
Καὶ ἡμεῖς τεθεάμεθα καὶ μαρτυροῦμεν ὅτι ὁ Πατὴρ ἀπέσταλκεν τὸν Υἱὸν, Σωτῆρα τοῦ κόσμου.
15 Kila anayekiri kwamba Yesu ni Mwana wa Mungu, Mungu anakaa ndani yake na yeye ndani ya Mungu.
Ὃς ἂν ὁμολογήσῃ ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
16 Na tunajua na kuamini upendo alio nao Mungu ndani yetu. Mungu ni pendo, na yeye anayekaa ndani ya upendo anakaa ndani ya Mungu, na Mungu hukaa ndani yake.
Καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐγνώκαμεν καὶ πεπιστεύκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην ἣν ἔχει ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν. Ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν, καὶ ὁ μένων ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ, ἐν τῷ ˚Θεῷ μένει, καὶ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ μένει.
17 Katika pendo hili limekwisha kamilishwa kati yetu, ili tuwe na ujasiri siku ya hukumu, kwa sababu kama yeye alivyo, na sisi ndivyo tulivyo katika ulimwenngu huu.
Ἐν τούτῳ τετελείωται ἡ ἀγάπη μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ἵνα παρρησίαν ἔχωμεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς κρίσεως, ὅτι καθὼς ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ.
18 Hakuna hofu ndani ya pendo. Lakini pendo kamili huitupa hofu nje, kwa sababu hofu huhusiana na hukumu. Lakini yeye aogopaye hajakamilishwa katika pendo.
Φόβος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ, ἀλλʼ ἡ τελεία ἀγάπη ἔξω βάλλει τὸν φόβον, ὅτι ὁ φόβος κόλασιν ἔχει, ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος, οὐ τετελείωται ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ.
19 Tunapenda kwa sababu Mungu alitupenda kwanza.
Ἡμεῖς ἀγαπῶμεν, ὅτι αὐτὸς πρῶτος ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς.
20 Ikiwa mmoja atasema, “Nampenda Mungu” lakini anamchukia ndugu yake, ni mwongo. Kwa sababu asiyempenda ndugu yake, anayemuona, hawezi kumpenda Mungu ambaye hajamuona.
Ἐάν τις εἴπῃ, ὅτι “Ἀγαπῶ τὸν ˚Θεόν”, καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ μισῇ, ψεύστης ἐστίν· ὁ γὰρ μὴ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἑώρακεν, τὸν ˚Θεὸν, ὃν οὐχ ἑώρακεν, οὐ δύναται ἀγαπᾶν.
21 Na hii ndiyo amri tuliyo nayo kutoka kwake: Yeyote ampendaye Mungu, anapaswa kumpenda ndugu yake pia.
Καὶ ταύτην τὴν ἐντολὴν ἔχομεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ὁ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ˚Θεὸν, ἀγαπᾷ καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ.
