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.
Omwasunika, kamutashomanga muntu uliyense lambangeti ukute mushimu wa Lesa, nsombi mwelela kubelesha kwambeti mubone na nicakubinga eti bakute mushimu weshikufuma kuli Lesa. Mwelela kwinseco pakwinga bashinshimi bandemishibili balamwaiki kuli konse.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
Ngamwinshiba mushimu wa Lesa munshila iyi; Uliyense lasumininga kwambeti Yesu Klistu walesa mubuntu, wopeloyo elafumunga kuli Lesa.
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.
Nsombi uliyense lakananga Yesu, wopeloyo nkakute kufuma kuli Lesa. mwalanyumfweti lakesanga, neco mwali kendi mucishi.
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.
Nsombi amwe mobana bame mulabakomo kendi bashinshimi bandemi shibili kayi mobana ba Lesa. Pakwinga mushimu uli mulinjamwe ukute ngofu kupita uyo uli muli abo basuni bya pacishi capanshi.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Bashinshimi bandemi shibili bakute kwamba bintu byapacishi capanshi, naco cishi cikute kubanyumfwila, pakwinga nibapacishi capanshi
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.
Nsombi afwe tobantu bakendi Lesa, neco uliyense wabula kuba wa Lesa nkela kutukutikila sobwe. Encotukute kwishiba mushimu walulama ne mushimu waipa.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Omwasunika, katusunananga pakwinga lusuno lukute kufuma kuli Lesa. Uliyense uyo ukute lusuno, nimwana mwana wa Lesa, kayi umwinshi Lesa.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
Uliyense wabula lusuno nkamwinshipo Lesa, pakwinga Lesa ni lusuno.
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.
Pakwinga Lesa walalesha lusuno lwakendi palinjafwe mpwalatuma mwanendi kwisa mucishi capanshi kwambeti tube ne buyumi kupitila muli endiye.
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.
Lino lusuno lwine lwine ni ulu, nsombi Lesa ewalatusuna afwe, kayi walatuma mwanendi kwambeti abe cipo cakulekelela kwa bwipishi bwetu.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Omwasunika na Lesa walatusuna, nenjafwe twelela kusunana.
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.
Kuliyawa walamubona Lesa, nsombi afwe twasunananga Lesa ukute kwikala muli njafwe, kayi lusuno lwakendi lulashimpi mulinjafwe.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Tucinshi kwambeti tukute kwikala muli Lesa kayi nendi ukute kwikala muli njafwe pakwinga walatupa Mushimu Uswepa.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Afwe tulabono kayi tobakamboni ba makani akwambeti Bata balatuma Mwana wakendi kwambeti abe mupulushi wa bantu ba pacishi capanshi conse.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
Uliyense lasuminga kwambeti Yesu ni Mwana Lesa, ukute kwikala muli Lesa kayi Lesa ukute kwikala muli endiye.
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.
Neco afwe tucinshi kayi twashoma kwambeti Lesa utusuni. Lesa elusuno kayi muntu ukute buyumi bwa lusuno uli muli Lesa, Kayi Lesa ukute kwikala muli endiye.
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.
Lusuno lulakulu mulinjafwe kayi buyumi bwetu mucishi capanshi bulyeti bwa Klistu, kayi myoyo ilayumu kwambeti ngatukumana ne busuba bwakombolosha.
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.
Muntu ukute lusuno liyawa buyowa, pakwinga lusuno lwashimpa lukute kupwisha buyowa. Neco lusuno nkalwashimpa mu muntu uliyense ukute buyowa, latininga cisubulo.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Tukute kusuna Lesa pakwinga ewalatanguna kutusuna.
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 muntu wambeti ndimusuni Lesa nsombi nkatasuni mukwabo ekwambeti labepenga, pakwinga muntu utasuni mukwabo ngwalabononga nkela kusuna Lesa uyo ngwatana abonapo.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Mulawo ngwalatupa niwakwambeti layandanga kusuna Lesa asune mukwabo.
