1 Yohana 4
1 Abhendwa, mutekilishaga bhuli Mwoyo, mbe nawe nimujisakega emioyo mujilole alabha ejisoka ku Nyamuanga, ku nsonga abhalagi bhafu abho lulimi bhabhonekene mu chalo.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
2 Mu linu omutula okumumenya Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga- bhuli Mwoyo gunu ogwikilisha ati Yesu Kristo ejile mu mubhili ni wa Nyamuanga,
Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God.
3 no Mwoyo gunu gutakumwikilisha Yesu gutali gwa Nyamuanga. Gunu ni Mwoyo gwo kumulema Kristo, gunu mwonguywe ati gwejile, na wolyanu bhwangu gulu mu Chalo.
And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.
4 Emwe muli bha Nyamuanga, abhana abhendwa, na mwamalile okubhaiga ku nsonga unu abhalimo emwe ni mukulu kukila unu ali mu Chalo.
Ye are of God, my children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 Bhenene ni bha mu Chalo, kulwejo chinu abhaika ni je chalo, ne Chalo echibhategelesha.
They are of the world; therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 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.
We are of God; he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Abhendwa, chendane eswe abhene kwa bhene, lwa kutyo okwenda ni kwa Nyamuanga, na bhuli umwi unu Kenda ebhuywe na Nyamuanga no kumumenya Nyamuanga.
Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God, and every one that loveth hath been born of God, and knoweth God;
8 Omwene unu atakwenda atakumumenya Nyamuanga, ku nsonga Nyamuanga ni lyenda.
he that loveth not hath not known God; for God is love.
9 Okwenda kwa Nyamuanga kwasuluywe mwiswe, ati Nyamuanga amutumile omwana waye enyele-la mu chalo koleleki chilamile okulabha ku mwene.
In this was manifested the love of God in regard to us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through him.
10 Mu lyenda linu, atali ati chamwendele Nyamuanga, mbe nawe omwene niwe achendele, no kumutuma omwana waye abhe chogo kulwe bhibhibhi bhyeswe.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
11 Abhendwa, alabha Nyamuanga achendele eswe, nikwo kutyo kuchiile eswe one okwendana abhene kwa bhene.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 Atalio nolwo umwi unu alamulolele Nyamuanga. Alabha chikendana eswe abhene kwa bhene, Nyamuanga achikayemo Munda yeswe ne lyenda lyaye likumiye mwiswe.
No one hath ever seen God. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Mu linu echimenya ati chikaye mu mwene no mwene mwiswe, ku nsonga achiyaye Mwoyo waye.
Hereby we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 Chilolele no kubhambalila ati Lata amutumile omwana waye ati abhe mwelusi we Chalo.
And we have seen and bear witness, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Bhuli unu kekilisha ati Yesu ni mwana wa Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kekala mu mwene no mwene mu Nyamuanga.
Whoever acknowledgeth that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 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.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath in regard to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 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.
Herein hath love been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 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.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 Echenda kulwo kubha Nyamuanga achendele okwamba.
We love, because he first loved us.
20 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.
If any one saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?
21 Na chinu nicho echilagilo chinu chili nacho okusoka ku mwene: wona wona unu kamwenda Nyamuanga, kumwiile amwende no wabho one.
And this commandment we have from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.
