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.
Abhendwa, mutekilishaga bhuli Mwoyo, mbe nawe nimujisakega emioyo mujilole alabha ejisoka ku Nyamuanga, ku nsonga abhalagi bhafu abho lulimi bhabhonekene mu chalo.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
Mu linu omutula okumumenya Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga- bhuli Mwoyo gunu ogwikilisha ati Yesu Kristo ejile mu mubhili ni wa Nyamuanga,
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.
no Mwoyo gunu gutakumwikilisha Yesu gutali gwa Nyamuanga. Gunu ni Mwoyo gwo kumulema Kristo, gunu mwonguywe ati gwejile, na wolyanu bhwangu gulu mu Chalo.
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.
Emwe muli bha Nyamuanga, abhana abhendwa, na mwamalile okubhaiga ku nsonga unu abhalimo emwe ni mukulu kukila unu ali mu Chalo.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Bhenene ni bha mu Chalo, kulwejo chinu abhaika ni je chalo, ne Chalo echibhategelesha.
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.
Eswe chili bha Nyamuanga. Mwenene unu kamumenya Nyamuanga kachungwa eswe. omwene unu atali wa Nyamuanga atakutula kuchitegelesha. Mu linu echimenya Mwoyo we chimali na Mwoyo wo lulimi.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Abhendwa, chendane eswe abhene kwa bhene, lwa kutyo okwenda ni kwa Nyamuanga, na bhuli umwi unu Kenda ebhuywe na Nyamuanga no kumumenya Nyamuanga.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
Omwene unu atakwenda atakumumenya Nyamuanga, ku nsonga Nyamuanga ni lyenda.
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.
Okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kwasuluywe mwiswe, ati Nyamuanga amutumile omwana waye enyele-la mu chalo koleleki chilamile okulabha ku mwene.
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.
Mu lyenda linu, atali ati chamwendele Nyamuanga, mbe nawe omwene niwe achendele, no kumutuma omwana waye abhe chogo kulwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Abhendwa, alabha Nyamuanga achendele eswe, nikwo kutyo kuchiile eswe one okwendana abhene kwa bhene.
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.
Atalio nolwo umwi unu alamulolele Nyamuanga. Alabha chikendana eswe abhene kwa bhene, Nyamuanga achikayemo Munda yeswe ne lyenda lyaye likumiye mwiswe.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Mu linu echimenya ati chikaye mu mwene no mwene mwiswe, ku nsonga achiyaye Mwoyo waye.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Chilolele no kubhambalila ati Lata amutumile omwana waye ati abhe mwelusi we Chalo.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
Bhuli unu kekilisha ati Yesu ni mwana wa Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kekala mu mwene no mwene mu Nyamuanga.
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.
Ne echimenya no kwikilisha elyenda linu Nyamuanga ali nalyo mwiswe. Nyamuanga ni kwenda, no mwene unu kekala mu lyenda kekala munda ya Nyamuanga, na Nyamuanga one kekala munda yaye.
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.
Mu lyenda linu lyamalile okukumisibhwa agati yeswe, koleleki chibhe no bhubhasi ku lusiku lwa indamu, ku nsonga lwa kutyo mwene ali, neswe one nikwo kutyo chili mu Chalo chinu.
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.
Mu kwenda bhutalimo bhubha. Mbe nawe elyenda linu likumiye eibhwesa anja, ku nsonga obhubha bhililene na indamu. Mbe nawe omwene unu kobhaya atakumisibhwe mu lyenda.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Echenda kulwo kubha Nyamuanga achendele okwamba.
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?
Akabha oumwi akaika ati, “Enimwenda Nyamuanga” Mbe nawe amusokele owabho, ni mulimi. Ku nsonga unu atakumwenda owabho, unu kamulola, atakutula okumwenda Nyamuanga unu achaliga kumulola.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Na chinu nicho echilagilo chinu chili nacho okusoka ku mwene: wona wona unu kamwenda Nyamuanga, kumwiile amwende no wabho one.
