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.
Do not believe every spirit, beloved, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets are gone out 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 that Jesus Christ 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 which confesses him not, is not from God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist of which you have heard that it is coming, and that now it 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.
My little children, you are of God and have conquered them; because he that is within 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, and for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world listens 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
But you are of God. He who is beginning to know God listens to us; he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we may distinguish the spirit of truth from 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 of God; and every one that loves us a child of 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.
In this was the love of God clearly shown toward us, by his sending his only Son into the world, so 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 his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
11 Kaunatatu inde Irji ni son ta, i kita me ki ka kpayemen ni kpambu.
If God so loved us, beloved, 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 man has ever gazed on God; but if we love one another, God ever abides 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 come to know that we are abiding 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.
and we have beheld and do testify that the Father has 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.
If any man confesses that "Jesus is the Son of God." God is abiding in that man, 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 do know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love; and he who is abiding in love is abiding in God, and God is abiding 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.
In this is love made perfect with us, so that we may have cheerful confidence in the Day of Judgment, because we are living in this world as He lives.
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 does not exist in love; but love, when it is perfect, drives out fear. For fear has always torment, and he who has fear is not yet perfected in love.
19 Ki son 'u' don Irji guci sonta.
We love because He loved us first.
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 says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot possibly 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.
And we have this command from God. HE WHO LOVES GOD IS TO LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.
