1 John 4

1 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Nomuyandwa, mutasyomi myuuya yoonse pele, amwisunke myuuya kuchitila kuti mubone kuti izwakuli Leza na, nkambo basinsimi mbiingi bakubeja banjila munyika.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

Acheechi muyoziba Muuya wa-Leza - Muuya woonse uwamba kuti Jesu wakaba munyama uzwa kuli Leza,

3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

pele muuya woonse utazumini Jesu tuuzwi kuli Leza. Ooyu ngumuuya uukkazya Kkilisito, ngumwakamvwa kuti ulasika, lino lino wabawo kale munyika. Zimwi zilembedwe muchiGiliki zyensiku zibalika boobu; Kufumbwa muuya utazumini kuti Jesu wakeza munyama tazwi kwa Leza pe. Ooyu ngumuuya ukkazya Kkilisito, ngumwakamvwa kuti ulasika ino lino wabawo kale munyika.

4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

Muzwa kuli Leza nobana, alimwi mwakabazunda nkambo ooyo uli muli ndinywe mupati kwinda oyo uuli munyika.

5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

Bazwa munyika, aboobo nzibaamba zizwa munyika, alimwi inyika ilabatelela.

6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Tuzwa kwa Leza. Kufumbwa uumwizi Leza ulamutelela. Ooyo utazwi kuli Leza tatuteeleli. Azeezi tulizi muuya wabwini amuuya waluleyo

7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Nobayandwa atuyandane, umwi awumwi, nkambo luyando luzwa kwa Leza, kufumbwa uyaanda uzyalwa kwa Leza alimwi ulimwizi Leza.

8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

Muntu uutayandi tamwizi pe Leza, nkambo Leza nduyando.

9 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.

Akambo kazeezi luyando lwa Leza lwakayubununwa aakati kesu, kuti Leza wakatuma Mwana wakwe simuzyalwa alikke munyika kuti tupone nkambo kakwe.

10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Muli echi muli luyando, peepe kuti twakamuyanda Leza, pele kuti nguwe wakatuyanda, akuti wakatuma Mwana wakwe kuti abe muliyo wezibi zyesu.

11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

Nobayandwa, nakuti Leza wakatuyanda obuya, aswebo twelede kuyandana umwi awumwi.

12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

Takwe walina kumubona Leza. Kuti katuyandana umwi awumwi, Leza ulakkalilila muli ndiswe, alimwi luyando lwakwe lulazulizigwa mulindiswe.

13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

Acheechi tulizi kuti tulikkalilide muli nguwe alimwi alakwe uli mulindiswe, nkambo wakatupa umwi muuya wakwe.

14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

Alimwi, twakabona alimwi tupa bukamboni kuti Taata kuti wakatuma Mwana wakwe kuti abe mufutuli wenyika.

15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

Kufumbwa uwamba kuti Jesu ngonguwe Mwana wa Leza, Leza ulakkalilila muli nguwe alakwe muli Leza.

16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

Alimwi twakaziba akusyoma luyando Leza ndwalaalo kuli ndiswe. Leza nduyando, alimwi oyo ukkalilila muluyando olu ulakkalilila muli Leza, alakwe Leza, ulakkalilila muli nguwe.

17 In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.

Nkaambo kacheechi, olu luyando lwakazulizigwa akati kesu, kuchitila kuti tukabe alusinizyo mubuzuba bwalubeta, nkambo mbuli mbwabede, aswebo mbutubede muliino nyika.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

Muluyando tamukwe kuyoowa. Anukuti, luyando luzulide lusowela kunze buyoofu nkambo buyoofu bulachakuchita achisubulo. Pele oyo utayandi tanakkwanisizigwa muluyando.

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

Tulayanda nkambo Leza wakatuyanda kukusanguna.

20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

Na kuti umwi waamba kuti, “Ndamuyanda Leza” pele kasula mwenzinyina, mubeji. Nkambo ooyo utayandi mwenzinyina, oyo ngwabona, takonzyi kumuyanda Leza, ngwatana buunsi wabona.

21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

Alimwi oyu ngumulawu ngutujisi kuzwa kuli nguwe: Kufumbwa uuyanda Leza weelede kumuyanda munyiina wakwe.
