1 John 4
1 Dearely beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits whether they are of God: for many false prophets are gone out into this worlde.
Ry malala, aza mino ny fanahy rehetra, fa izahao toetra ny fanahy, na avy amin’ Andriamanitra ireny, na tsia, satria maro ny mpaminany sandoka efa lasa any amin’ izao tontolo izao.
2 Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, Euery spirit which confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.
Izao no ahafantaranareo ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra: Ny fanahy rehetra izay manaiky fa efa tonga tamin’ ny nofo Jesosy Kristy no avy amin’ Andriamanitra;
3 And euery spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whome ye haue heard, how that he should come, and nowe already he is in this world.
ary ny fanahy rehetra izay tsy manaiky an’ i Jesosy dia tsy mba avy amin’ Andriamanitra; ary izany no fanahin’ ny antikristy, izay efa renareo fa ho avy, sady efa eo amin’ izao tontolo izao sahady izy.
4 Litle children, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in this world.
Anaka, ianareo dia avy amin’ Andriamanitra ary efa naharesy ireny, satria lehibe Izay ao aminareo noho izay ao amin’ izao tontolo izao.
5 They are of this worlde, therefore speake they of this world, and this world heareth them.
Isan’ izao tontolo izao ireny, ka dia miteny araka ny an’ izao tontolo izao izy, ary mihaino azy izao tontolo izao.
6 We are of God, he that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Heereby knowe wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.
Avy amin’ Andriamanitra izahay; izay mahalala an’ Andriamanitra no mihaino anay; Izay tsy avy amin’ Andriamanitra tsy mba mihaino anay. Izany no ahafantarantsika ny fanahin’ ny fahamarinana sy ny fanahin’ ny fampiviliana.
7 Beloued, let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God, and euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God.
Ry malala, aoka hifankatia isika; fa avy amin’ Andriamanitra ny fitiavana, ary Izay rehetra tia no naterak’ Andriamanitra sady mahalala an’ Andriamanitra.
8 Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.
Izay tsy tia dia tsy mba mahalala an’ Andriamanitra; fa Andriamanitra dia fitiavana.
9 Herein was that loue of God made manifest amongst vs, because God sent that his onely begotten sonne into this world, that we might liue through him.
Izao no nanehoana ny fitiavan’ Andriamanitra antsika: Andriamanitra naniraka ny Zanani-lahy Tokana tamin’ izao tontolo izao, mba hahavelona antsika amin’ ny alalany.
10 Herein is that loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his Sonne to be a reconciliation for our sinnes.
Izao no fitiavana: tsy ny nitiavantsika an’ Andriamanitra fa ny nitiavany antsika, ka nirahiny ny Zanany ho avotra’ noho ny fahotantsika.
11 Beloued, if God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another.
Ry malala, raha izany no nitiavan’ Andriamanitra antsika, dia mba tokony hifankatia kosa isika.
12 No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs.
Tsy mbola nisy olona nahita an’ Andriamanitra na oviana na oviana. Raha mifankatia isika, dia mitoetra ato amintsika Andriamanitra, ary tanteraka ato amintsika ny fitiavany.
13 Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in vs: because he hath giuen vs of his Spirit.
Izao no ahafantarantsika fa mitoetra ao aminy isika, ary Izy ato amintsika, dia ny nanomezany antsika ny Fanahiny.
14 And we haue seene, and doe testifie, that the Father sent that Sonne to be ye Sauiour of the world.
Ary izahay efa nahita ka manambara fa ny Ray efa naniraka ny Zanaka ho Mpamonjy izao tontolo izao.
15 Whosoeuer confesseth that Iesus is the Sone of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.
Na iza na iza manaiky fa Zanak’ Andriamanitra Jesosy, dia mitoetra ao aminy Andriamanitra, ary izy kosa ao amin’ Andriamanitra.
16 And we haue knowen, and beleeued ye loue that God hath in vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Ary isika efa mahalala sy mino ny fitiavan’ Andriamanitra antsika. Andriamanitra dia fitiavana; ary izay mitoetra amin’ ny fitiavana no mitoetra ao amin’ Andriamanitra, ary Andriamanitra ao aminy.
17 Herein is that loue perfect in vs, that we should haue boldnes in the day of iudgement: for as he is, euen so are we in this world.
Izany no ahatanterahana ny fitiavana amintsika, mba hananantsika fahasahiana amin’ ny andro fitsarana; fa tahaka Azy isika eo amin’ izao tontolo izao.
18 There is no feare in loue, but perfect loue casteth out feare: for feare hath painefulnesse: and he that feareth, is not perfect in loue.
Tsy manan-tahotra ny fitiavana; fa ny fitiavana tanteraka mandroaka ny tahotra; fa mampahory ny tahotra. Fa izay matahotra dia tsy mbola tanteraka amin’ ny fitiavana.
19 We loue him, because he loued vs first.
Isika tia, satria Izy efa dia antsika taloha.
20 If any man say, I loue God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God whom he hath not seene?
Raha misy manao hoe: Tia an’ Andriamanitra aho, nefa mankahala ny rahalahiny, dia mpandainga izy; fa izay tsy tia ny rahalahiny izay hitany, hataony ahoana no fitia an’ Andriamanitra Izay tsy hitany?
21 And this commandement haue we of him, that he that loueth God, should loue his brother also.
Ary izao no didy efa azontsika taminy: Izay tia an’ Andriamanitra dia tsy maintsy tia ny rahalahiny koa.
