1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, unu ekwenyela okwu mmụọ niile, kama nwaleenụ mmụọ niile ahụ i mata ma ha si na Chineke, nʼihi na ọtụtụ ndị amụma ụgha apụọla baa nʼime ụwa.
2 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
Otu a ka unu ga-esi mata Mmụọ nke Chineke: Mmụọ ọbụla nke na-ekwupụta na Jisọs Kraịst abịala nʼanụ ahụ sitere na Chineke.
3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ma mmụọ ọbụla nke na-adịghị ekwupụta Jisọs esiteghị na Chineke, mmụọ dị otu a bụ nke onye ahụ na-emegide Kraịst nke unu nụrụ na ọ ga-abịa, ma ugbu a ọ bịala nʼụwa.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Ụmụntakịrị m, unu bụ ndị sitere na Chineke, unu emeriekwala ha nʼihi na onye ahụ nke bi nʼime unu dị ukwuu karịa onye ahụ nọ nʼime ụwa.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them.
Nʼihi na ndị a si nʼime ụwa pụta. Ya mere, ihe ha na-ekwu okwu ya bụ naanị ihe banyere ụwa. Ụwa na-aṅakwa ha ntị.
6 We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Anyị sitere na Chineke, onye ọbụla maara Chineke na-ege anyị ntị, ma onye ọbụla na-esiteghị na Chineke anaghị ege anyị ntị. Ọ bụ otu a ka anyị si amata mmụọ eziokwu na mmụọ nke okwu ụgha.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.
Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, o kwesiri ka anyị hụrịtaa onwe anyị nʼanya, nʼihi na ịhụnanya na-esi nʼebe Chineke nọ abịa. Onye ọbụla nwere ịhụnanya bụ onye amụrụ site na Chineke, ọ makwara Chineke.
8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
Onye na-enweghị ịhụnanya amaghị Chineke, nʼihi na Chineke bụ ịhụnanya.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
E siri otu a mee ka ịhụnanya Chineke nʼebe anyị nọ pụta ìhè: Chineke zitere naanị otu Ọkpara ya nʼụwa ka anyị nwee ndụ site na ya.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Nke a bụ ihe a na-akpọ ịhụnanya, ọ bụghị na anyị hụrụ Chineke nʼanya kama na ọ hụrụ anyị nʼanya ma zite Ọkpara ya dịka aja nke juru ya obi maka mmehie niile anyị.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, ebe ọ bụ na Chineke si otu a hụ anyị nʼanya, anyị kwesiri ịhụrịta onwe anyị nʼanya.
12 No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.
O nwebeghị mgbe ọbụla anyị ji anya anyị hụ Chineke anya, ma ọ bụrụ na anyị ahụ ibe anyị nʼanya, Chineke na-ebi nʼime anyị. A na-emekwa ka ịhụnanya ya zuo oke nʼime anyị.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
O tinyekwala Mmụọ Nsọ ya nʼime anyị igosi anyị na o bi nʼime anyị, na anyị bikwa nʼime ya.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
Ma anyị onwe anyị ahụla ma na-agbakwa ama na Nna ahụ zitere Ọkpara ya ka ọ bụrụ Onye nzọpụta nke ụwa.
15 Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.
Chineke bi nʼime onye ọbụla nke na-ekwupụta na Jisọs bụ Ọkpara Chineke. Onye dị otu a bikwa nʼime Chineke.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.
Anyị maara ma kwerekwa nʼịhụnanya Chineke nwere nʼebe anyị nọ. Chineke bụ ịhụnanya. Onye ọ bụlakwa na-ebi ndụ ịhụnanya na-anọgide nʼime Chineke. Chineke nʼonwe ya na-ebinyekwara onye dị otu a.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a na-eme ka ịhụnanya zuo oke nʼetiti anyị, ka anyị nwee ike inwe nkwuwa okwu nʼụbọchị ikpe ahụ, nʼihi na dịka ya onwe ya dị, otu a ka anyị onwe anyị dịkwa nʼụwa nke a.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.
Ịtụ egwu adịghị nʼebe ịhụnanya dị, kama ịhụnanya zuruoke na-achụpụ egwu nʼihi na egwu na ntaramahụhụ na-arụkọ ọrụ, onye ọbụla nke na-atụ egwu bụ onye na-ezubeghị oke nʼịhụnanya.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Anyị hụrụ ya nʼanya nʼihi na o buru ụzọ hụ anyị nʼanya.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Onye ọbụla na-asị, “Ahụrụ m Chineke nʼanya,” ma nọgide na-akpọ nwanna ya asị, onye ahụ bụ onye ụgha. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọ hụghị nwanna ya nʼanya, bụ onye ọ na-ahụ anya kwa ụbọchị, ọ pụghị ịhụ Chineke nʼanya bụ onye ọ na-ahụbeghị anya.
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God love his brother also.
Iwu o nyere anyị bụ, “Onye ọbụla hụrụ Chineke nʼanya aghakwaghị ịhụ nwanna ya nʼanya.”
