1 Yohana 4
1 Kaunatatu, na kpayeim ni Ruhohi wa wu mba u' na naki bi ka tsra ba toh ko ba rji ni Irji. Bi toh Irji, bi che ba hei game ba shu ni gbugbulu zizan.
BELOVED, believe not every pretender to inspiration, but bring these spirits to the trial whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone forth into the world.
2 Naki bi toh Ruhu Irji- du Ruhu wa a kpa yiem di yesu kristi aye ni mi n'man a rji ni Rji kena.
By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesseth that Jesus the Messiah is come in the flesh, is from God.
3 Du Ruhu wa ana kpa yeim ni yesu na, ana rji ni Irji na. A Ruhu bi kran yesu kena wa bi woh da ni ye a riga da ye ni mi gbugbulu ye. Iftift Greek bi sen bi didi ba bla ifga di du Ruhu wa ana toh di Yesu a ye ni mi n man rji ni Irji na, ana u' Irji na ahi ki hi Ruhu bi kran Yesu, wa bi woh Kuma a hei ni gbugbulu ye ifga
And every spirit who confesseth not that Jesus the Messiah is come into the world, is not from God: and this is that spirit of antichrist which ye have heard that it is coming, and now is already in the world.
4 Bi yi bi rji ni Irji mri di zan gbengbenlen mba don wa a hei ni suron mbi a brabran zan wa ahei ni gbugbulu a.
Ye are of God, my dear children, and have overcome them; because he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.
5 Ba rji ni gbugbulu, du kpe wa ba tre ahi wu gbugbulu, gbugbulu'a ni sren toh ni bawu.
They are of the world, therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 Kita ki rji ni Irji, indi wa atoh Irji ani sren toh ni tawu indi wa ana rji ni Irji na ana sren toh ni tawu na naki kitoh Ruhu'u jaji, ni Ruhu'u' lahtre
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of delusion.
7 Kaunatatu kin yema ni kpambu don i yemen a rji ni Irji, du indi wa ani yemn grji ni Irji wa kuma a toh Irji.
Beloved, let us love one another; because love is from God, and every one who loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 Indi wa na yemen ni ndi na ana toh Irji na, don Irji hi kauna.
He that loveth not, never knew God; for God is love.
9 Naki iyemen u Irji ba shile ni mi mbu di Irji aton vre ma riri ye ni mi gbugbulu du ta kiso tutrun ni tu ma.
By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him.
10 Na yi a hi kpayemen ana kita ki son Irji na, na yi a wawu yemen ni ta, da ton vre ma du yekpa ta chuwoh ni lahtre.
Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.
11 Kaunatatu inde Irji ni son ta, i kita me ki ka kpayemen ni kpambu.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 Ba ndi wa a taba toh Irji. Ki ti ni son kpambu Irji hei nimibu ison ma ni mi mbu ni mla tati.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Na ki ki toh di ki hei tare ni u'wa hei ni mi mibu. Anota bru Ruhu ma bari.
By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own Spirit.
14 Na ki ki toh di kpayeim di Iti a ton vre ma du ye da kpa gbugbulu'a cuwo.
And we have seen and bear testimony, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Du ndi wa a bu yua ma da tre di Yesu a vre Irji, Irji hei ni 'u' u wa wu hei ni mi Irji.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
16 Naki kita ki toh di kpayiem ni son wa Irji hei wu ta wu'a Irji hi son, ndi wa ahei ni mi son yi a hei ni mi Irji, u'Irji hei ni u game.
And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.
17 Ahei naki ison yi mla ta ti du ta hei ni gbengbenlen chachu bla tre ma naki ma ahei jaji kita me ki ka hei naki ni mi gbugbulu.
By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 Sisir na hei ni mi son a na, ison u' jaji azu sisir rju naki sisir hei ni horo. ndi wa ni klu sisir anati jaji ni mi son na.
Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love.
19 Ki son 'u' don Irji guci sonta.
We love him, because he first loved us.
20 Inde ndi wa a tre wawu ni son Irji da ni kran vayi ma, ahi ndi wu che. Ndi wa ana son vayi ma wa asi toh ana ni son Irji wa ana toh-o ma?
If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen?
21 Naki wa yi ni tre wa ki kpa ni u' indi wa ni son Irji wa ka son vayi ma game.
So this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.
