< 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.
Bhakilishitu ajangunji, nnankulupalilanje kila mundu abheleketa kuti ashikola Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, ikabheje munninganje ibhaga jwene mundujo anaalongoywa naka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, pabha ashinkulondola bha unami bhabhagwinji bhashikoposhelanga pa shilambolyo.
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.
Mpingangaga kummanya kuti jwene mundujo analongoywa naka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, shimummanyanje nnei. Kila akunda kuti a Kilishitu bhashinkuika nibha mundu, jwenejo akwete Mbumu jwa a Nnungu.
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.
Ikabheje jojowe akakwaakunda a Kilishitu, jwenejo jwangali Mbumu akopoka kwa a Nnungu. Jwenejo ashikola mbumu ataukangana na a Kilishitu, mmanganyanji mwapilikenenje kuti alikwiiya, na nnaino tayali aishe pa shilambolyo.
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.
Ikabheje Mmanganyanji ni bhana bha a Nnungu, numbe mwaakombwelenje bhene ashinkulondola bha unami, pabha Mbumu ali nkati jenunji, ni nkulungwa kupunda mbumu ali nkati jabhonji bhene bhalinginji bha shilambolyo.
5 They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.
Bhanganyanjibho ni bha pa shilambolyo, na ibhabheleketanga indu ya pa shilambolyo, na shilambolyo shinakwaapilikanishiyanga, pabha bhene bhanganyanjibho ni bha pa shilambolyo.
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.
Uwe ni tubha a Nnungu. Mundu abhamanyi a Nnungu anakutupilikanila, mundu akakwaamanya a Nnungu akakutupilikanila. Bhai nneyo, ni shitukombola kummanya Mbumu jwa Kweli na mbumu jwa unami.
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;
Bhakilishitu ajangunji, tupingane, pabha kupingana kukukoposhela kwa a Nnungu. Kila mundu akumpinga nnjakwe, jwenejo ni mwana jwa a Nnungu na anakwaamanya a Nnungu.
8 The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.
Mundu akakwaapinganga ashaajakwe jwenejo akakwaamanya a Nnungu, pabha a Nnungu ni kupingana.
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.
A Nnungu bhashinkulanguya kuti bhanakutupinga uwe pubhampeleshe Mwanagwabho jwa jika pa shilambolyo, nkupinga tupate gumi kuka jwenejo.
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.
Kweneku ni kupingana, nngabha kuti uwe tushinkutandubhila kwaapinga a Nnungu, ikabhe Bhenebho bhashinkutupinga kuishila kuntuma Mwanagwabho abhe mbepei ja kutuleshelela yambi yetu.
11 Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;
Bhakilishitu ajangunji, ibhaga a Nnungu bhashinkutupinga nneyo, bhai, numbe uwe tunapinjikwa kupingana.
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.
Jwakwa mundu abhabhweni a Nnungu, ikabheje tupinganaga a Nnungu bhanatama nkulundana na uwe na kutupinga kwabho kunashimilika nkati jetu.
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.
Tumumanyi kuti tunatama nkulundana na a Nnungu, na Bhalabho a Nnungu bhanatama nkulundana na uwe, pabha bhenebho bhashikutupa Mbumu jwabho.
14 And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
Uwe tugabhweni, numbe tunakwakong'ondelanga bhananji kuti, Atati bhashinkwaatuma Bhanabhabho bhabhe bhaatapula bha shilambolyo.
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.
Kila mundu akwaakunda a Yeshu Kilishitu kuti Mwana jwa a Nnungu, a Nnungu bhanatama nkulundana na jwene mundujo, na jwenejo anatama nkulundana na a Nnungu.
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)
Bhai uwe tumumanyi na tunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu bhanakutupinga. A Nnungu ni pingana, na mundu jojowe atama nkupingana, anatama nkulundana na a Nnungu, na a Nnungu bhanatama nkulunduna na jwenejo.
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.
Kwa nneyo kupingana kutimilile nkati jetu nkupinga tukole makangala lyene lyubha lya ukumu, pabha kutama kwetu pa shilambolyo pano, shikubhe mbuti kutama kwa a Kilishitu.
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.
Pukutemi kupingana pangali bhoga, elo, kupingana kwa timilika kunashoya bhoga gowe. Bhai, mundu akwete bhoga akanabhe timilika nkupingana, pabha bhoga unakagulana na kupanyangulwa.
19 We ourselves love (him *K) because He himself first loved us.
Uwe tunapingana pabha a Nnungu ni bhatandwibhe kutupinga uwe.
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 abheleketaga kuti anakwaapinga a Nnungu, akuno akakumpinga nkilishitu njakwe, jwenejo analambila. Pabha mundu akakumpinga njakwe jwa kummona, akakombola kwaapinga a Nnungu akakwaabhona.
21 And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
Bhai jejino ni amuli jibhatupele a Kilishitu. Akwaapinga a Nnungu anapinjikwa kumpinga nkilishitu njakwe.
