1 John 4
1 Beloved, not every spirit do believe but do test the spirits whether of God they are, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Achambusanga ŵangu, ngasimunkulupilila mundu jwalijose jwakuti akulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, nambo munninje nnole kanga mbumu jo akutyochela kwa Akunnungu pane ngaŵa, pakuŵa ŵakulondola ŵa unami ŵajinji akopochele pachilambo.
2 By this (you know *NK+O) the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ in [the] flesh having come of God is.
Yeleyi ni ichinjile pakummanyilila mundu jwakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, mundu jwalijose jwakuitichisya kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaiche ni kuŵa mundu, mundu jo akulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
3 and any spirit that not confesses Jesus (Christ in flesh having come *K) from God not is; And this is that of the antichrist which you have heard that is coming and now in the world is already.
Nambo mundu jwalijose jwangakunjitichisya Kilisito yeleyi, jwelejo nganakola Mbumu jwakutyochela kwa Akunnungu. Mundu jo akulongoswa ni mbumu jwakwakanila Kilisito, ni mbumu jumwapilikene akwika, sambano amasile kwika pachilambo.
4 you yourselves from God are, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is the [One] in you than the [one] in the world.
Ŵanyamwe ŵanache ndi ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ni mwampundile ŵakulondola ŵaunami, ligongo mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwali munkati mwenu ali jwankulu kumpunda jwele jwali munkati mwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.
5 They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.
Ŵakulondola ŵaunami akuŵecheta indu ya pachilambo, ni ŵandu ŵa pachilambo akwapilikanila ligongo ŵelewo ali ŵa pachilambo pano.
6 We ourselves of God are; The [one] knowing God listens to us; He who not is from God not listens to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Uweji tuli ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ni mundu jwalijose jwakwamanyilila Akunnungu, jwelejo akutupilikanila. Nambo mundu jwalijose jwangakummanyilila Akunnungu, jwelejo ngakutupilikanila. Yeleyo ni yatukuti pakummanyilila Mbumu jwausyene ni mbumu jwaunami.
7 Beloved, we may love one another, because love from God is and everyone who is loving from God has been born and knows God;
Achambusanga ŵangu, tunonyelane, pakuŵa unonyelo ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu. Ni mundu jwalijose jwakwete unonyelo ali mwanache jwa Akunnungu ni akwamanyilila Akunnungu.
8 The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.
Mundu jwalijose jwanganakola unonyelo, jwelejo ngakummanyilila Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu ali unonyelo.
9 In this has been revealed the love of God among us, that the Son of Him the one and only has sent God into the world so that we may live through Him.
Akunnungu ŵaulosisye unonyelo wao kukwetu kwa kuntuma Mwanagwe jwajikajikape pachilambo, kuti kwa litala lya jwelejo tukole umi wa usyene.
10 In this is love, not that we ourselves (have loved *N+kO) God, but that He himself loved us and He sent the Son of Him [as] a propitiation for the sins of us.
Weleu ni unonyelo, ngaŵa kuti uweji twanonyele Akunnungu, nambo kuti ŵelewo ŵatunonyele uweji, ni ŵantumile Mwanagwe aŵe mbopesi kuti tulecheleswe sambi syetu.
11 Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;
Ŵakunonyelwa ŵangu, naga Akunnungu ŵatunonyele kwanti yeleyo, nipele nowe ikutuŵajila tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
12 God no [one] at any time has seen; if we shall love one another, God in us abides and the love of Him in us perfected is.
Ngapagwa mundu jwawayiye kwawona Akunnungu, nambo twanonyelanaga Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uwe, ni unonyelo wakwe ukumalila mwetuwe.
13 By this we know that in Him we abide and He in us, because from out the Spirit of Him He has given to us.
Kwa litala li tukumanyilila kuti tukutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu, ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni uweji, pakuŵa atupele Mbumu jwao.
14 And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
Noweji tuiweni ni tukwasalila ŵandu ŵane umboni kuti, Atati antyosisye Mwanagwe aŵe Nkulupusyo kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.
15 Who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) shall confess that Jesus (Christ *O) is the Son of God, God in him abides and he in God.
Mundu jwalijose jwakuitichisya ni kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu, Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni jwele, nombejo akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu.
16 And we ourselves have come to know and we have come to believe the love that has God as to us. God love is, and the [one] abiding in love in God abides, and God in him (abides. *NO)
Noweji tuumanyi ni kuukulupilila unonyelo wa Akunnungu walinawo kukwetu. Akunnungu ali unonyelo ni mundu jwalijose jwakutama mu unonyelo akutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu, ni Akunnungu akutama nkulumbikana ni jwelejo.
17 In this has been perfected love with us, so that confidence we may have in the day of judgment, that even as He is also we ourselves are in world this.
Unonyelo umalile mwetuwe, kuti tukole chilolelo pa lyuŵa Akunnungu pachiŵalamule ŵandu. Nombe chitukole chelecho pakuŵa umi wetu pachilambo pa, ukulandana ni umi wa Che Yesu Kilisito.
18 Fear no there is in love, but perfect love out casts fear, because the fear punishment has; the [one] now fearing not has been perfected in love.
Mu unonyelo mwangali lipamba. Unonyelo waumalilwe ukutopola lipamba, pakuŵa mundu jwakwete lipamba nganaŵe kumalilwa mu unonyelo. Pakuŵa mundu jwakwete lipamba akukujogopa kulamulikwa.
19 We ourselves love (him *K) because He himself first loved us.
Uweji tukunonyelana pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatunonyele uweji kaje.
20 If anyone shall say that I love God and the brother of him may hate, a liar he is; The [one] for not loving the brother of him whom he has seen, God whom not he has seen (not *N+KO) is he able to love;
Mundu atiji ngwanonyela Akunnungu, akuno alinkunchima nlongo njakwe, ali jwaunami. Pakuŵa mundu jwangakunnonyela nlongo njakwe jwakumbona, ngakupakombola kwanonyela Akunnungu ŵangakwaŵona.
21 And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
Kilisito ŵatupele lilajisyo li: Mundu jwakwanonyela Akunnungu akusachilwa iyoyo annonyele ni nlongo njakwe.
