1 John 4

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Osiepena mageno kik uyie roho duto, to temgiuru mondo ufwenygi ka bende gia kuom Nyasaye nikech jonabi mag miriambo mathoth osebiro e piny koni gi koni.

2 By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

Ma e kaka unyalo ngʼeyo Roho mar Nyasaye: Roho ma hulo ni Yesu Kristo nobiro e ringruok en Roho moa kuom Nyasaye,

3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.

to roho moro amora makwedo Yesu ok en Roho mar Nyasaye. Chuny ma kamano en mar Jasik Kristo ma usewinjo ni onego bi kendo makoro ni e piny kata sani.

4 You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Nyithinda mageno, un to un nyithind Nyasaye kendo useloyo jonabi mag miriambogo, nikech Jal manie iu duongʼ moloyo Jal manie piny.

5 They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.

Gin jopiny, omiyo giwuoyo kuom pinyni kendo piny winjogi.

6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.

Wan to wan jo-Nyasaye omiyo joma ongʼeyo Nyasaye winjowa, to ngʼat ma ok ngʼat Nyasaye ok winjwa. Ma e yo mwangʼeyogo Roho mar adier gi Roho mar miriambo.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Osiepena mageno waherreuru ngʼato gi ngʼato nikech hera aa kuom Nyasaye. Ngʼat man gihera en nyathi Nyasaye kendo ongʼeyo Nyasaye.

8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Ngʼat maonge hera kia Nyasaye, nikech Nyasaye en hera.

9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

Nyasaye nonyiso hera moherowago kama: Ne ooro Wuode ma miderma e piny mondo wabed mangima kuome.

10 And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Ma e gima hera en: ok ni wan ema ne wahero Nyasaye, to Nyasaye ema noherowa mokwongo mi nooro Wuode kaka misango mar richowa.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Osiepena mageno, ka Nyasaye noherowa kamano, to wan bende waherre ngʼato gi ngʼato.

12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

Onge ngʼama oseneno Nyasaye, to ka waherore ngʼato gi ngʼato to Nyasaye odak eiwa, kendo herane chopo kare eiwa.

13 By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

Wangʼeyo ni wadak ei Nyasaye kendo en bende en eiwa, nikech osemiyowa Rohone.

14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.

Waseneno kendo wanyiso ji ni Wuoro oseoro Wuode mondo obed Jawar mar piny.

15 If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

Ka ngʼato ohulo ni Yesu en wuod Nyasaye, to Nyasaye odak e iye kendo en bende odak ei Nyasaye.

16 And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Omiyo koro wangʼeyo kendo wageno kuom hera ma Nyasaye oherowago. Nyasaye en hera. Ngʼato mosiko e hera osiko kuom Nyasaye, kendo Nyasaye bende odak kuome.

17 In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.

Ma e kaka herawa nyaka nyisre chuth mondo chiengʼ ngʼado bura wabed gi chir nikech e ngima mar pinyni wachal kode.

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

Luoro onge e hera; hera mar adier riembo luoro oko nikech luoro ema kelo kum. Ngʼat man-gi luoro pok ochopo e hera mar adier.

19 We love because He first loved us.

Wan gihera nikech Nyasaye noherowa mokwongo.

20 If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

Ka ngʼato wacho ni ohero Nyasaye to omon gi wadgi to en ja-miriambo; nikech ngʼama ok ohero wadgi, moseneno gi wangʼe, ok nyal hero Nyasaye mapok oneno.

21 And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.

Chik ma osemiyowa en ma: Ngʼat mohero Nyasaye nyaka her wadgi bende.
