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.
Mwava nkozi vangu, mkoto kumsadika kila mundu mweijova ilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga, ndi mumlinga hoti mmanya ngati chakaka Mpungu mwenuyo ihuma kwa Chapanga amala lepi, ndava muni kuvi na vamlota vamahele va udese pamulima.
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.
Yeni ndi njila ya kumanya kuvya mundu ilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga, kila mundu mweiyidakila Yesu Kilisitu abwelili na kuvya mundu, mwenuyo ndi ilongoswa na Mpungu wa Chapanga.
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.
Nambu kila mundu mwangayidakila ago ndava ya Yesu mundu mwenuyo ilongoswa lepi na mpungu wewihuma kwa Chapanga. Na mwenuyo ilongoswa na Mpungu wa yula mweakumbela Kilisitu Mpungu mwenuyo mwemwayuwini kuvya ibwela na hinu amali kubwela pamulima.
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.
Mwavana nyenye, ndi vandu va Chapanga, na mmalili kuvahotola vamlota va udese ndava Mpungu wa Chapanga mweavili mugati yinu ana makakala kuliku yula mweavili mugati ya vandu va mulima uwu.
5 They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.
Vamlota venavo ndi vandu va mulima vijova mambu ga mulima na vandu va pamulima vakuvayuwanila ndava muni vene ndi va pamulima.
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.
Nambu tete tavandu va Chapanga. Na mundu yoyoha mweammanyili Chapanga akutiyuwanila tete, mweangavya wa Chapanga akutiyuwanila lepi. Chenichi ndi chetihotola kummanya Mpungu wa chakaka na mpungu wa udese.
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;
Vankozi vangu tiganana muni uganu uhuma kwa Chapanga. Mundu yoyoha mweavili na uganu mwenuyo ndi mwana wa Chapanga na ammanyili Chapanga.
8 The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.
Mundu yoyoha mwangali uganu ammanyi lepi Chapanga, ndava Chapanga ndi uganu.
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.
Chapanga alangisi uganu waki kwa kumtuma Mwana waki ngamwene pamulima, muni tivya na wumi wa chakaka.
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.
Uwu ndi uganu, tete lepi mwatamugani Chapanga, nambu mwene atiganili tete ndi amtumili Mwana waki avyayi luteta lwa kutiwusila kumbudila kwitu Chapanga.
11 Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;
Vankozi vangu, yikavya Chapanga atiganili chenicho, na tete tiganikiwa tigananayi.
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.
Kawaka mundu mweamuweni Chapanga lukumbi lwolwoha lula, ngati tiganana, ndi Chapanga itama mukuwungana na tete na uganu waki udandasika mugati yitu.
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.
Timanyi kuvya titama mukuwunga na Chapanga na mwene itama mukuwungana na tete, ndava atipelili Mpungu waki Msopi.
14 And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
Tete tilolili na kuvajovela vangi kuvya Dadi amutumili Mwana waki pamulima avyayi Msangula wa pamulima.
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 mweiyidakila na kujova kuvya Yesu ndi Mwana wa Chapanga, Chapanga itama mukuwungana nayu, na mwene mukuwungana na Chapanga.
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)
Na tete timanyili na kuusadika uganu wa Chapanga weavi nawu ndava yitu. Chapanga ndi uganu, ndi mundu yoyoha mweitama muuganu vitama mukuwungana na Chapanga na Chapanga itama mukuwungana nayu.
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.
Uganu udandasiki mugati yitu ndava tihotola kuvya na ukekesi ligono lila la uhamula, na tivya nawu ndava muni titama ngati Kilisitu cheatamili.
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.
Pepavili na uganu kawaka wogohi. Ena! Uganu waudandasiki uvinga wogohi woha, muni mundu mweavi na wogohi adandasiki lepi muuganu. Muni mundu mweavi na wogohi iyogopa kuhamuliwa.
19 We ourselves love (him *K) because He himself first loved us.
Tete tigana ndava Chapanga atumbwili kutigana tete.
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 akajova nimganili Chapanga na kuni amvengili mlongo waki ana udese. Ndava mundu mwangamgana mlongo waki mweakumlola ihotola wuli kumgana Chapanga mweangamuwona?
21 And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
Hinu, mihilu yeniyi ndi yetipewili na Kilisitu ndi aga: Mundu mwakumgana Chapanga iganikiwa mewa amgana mlongo waki.
