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, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they be from 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 you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has 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 that does not confess Jesus, is not from God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that it comes, and now is in the world already.

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.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because he is greater, who is with you, than he who is with 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 they speak from the world, and the world hearkens to 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 who know God, hearkens to us; he who is not of God, hearkens not to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

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; for love is from God: and every one who loves, has been begotten by God, and knows God.

8 Indi wa na yemen ni ndi na ana toh Irji na, don Irji hi kauna.

He who does not love, does not know 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 the love of God was manifested to us, that God sent forth his Son, the only begotten, into the world, that we might live through 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.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent forth his Son to be a propitiation 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, also, ought 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 one has seen God, at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is made perfect 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 has given us of his Spirit.

14 Na ki ki toh di kpayeim di Iti a ton vre ma du ye da kpa gbugbulu'a cuwo.

Now we have seen, and bear testimony, that the Father has sent forth his 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.

Whoever will confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides 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 has in us. God is love; wherefore, he who abides in love, abides 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, the love has been perfected in us, that we may have boldness in 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.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment: therefore, he who fears 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 one say, Indeed I love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a liar: for he who loves not his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love God, whom he has not seen?

21 Naki wa yi ni tre wa ki kpa ni u' indi wa ni son Irji wa ka son vayi ma game.

Moreover, this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God, loves his brother, also.
