1 John 4
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, ba kowane ruhu za ku gaskata ba, sai dai ku gwada ruhohi don ku ga ko daga Allah ne, domin annabawan ƙarya da yawa sun fito duniya.
2 In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in the flesh, it is of God,
Ga yadda za ku gane Ruhun Allah, duk ruhun da ya yarda cewa Yesu Kiristi ya zo cikin jiki, to, daga Allah yake.
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ having come in the flesh, it is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, which you heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world.
Amma duk ruhun da bai yarda da Yesu ba, ba daga Allah ba ne, ruhun magabcin Kiristi ne, wanda kuka ji yana zuwa, har ma ya riga ya shigo duniya.
4 You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.
Ku,’ya’yana ƙaunatattu, ku daga Allah ne, kun kuma yi nasara a kan magabtan Kiristi, domin wanda yake a cikinku ya fi wanda yake a duniya girma.
5 They are of the world, because they speak of this from the world, and the world hears them;
Su daga duniya ne saboda haka suke magana yadda duniya take ganin abubuwa, duniya kuwa tana sauraronsu.
6 we are of God; he who is knowing God hears us; he who is not of God, does not hear us; from this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Mu daga Allah ne, kuma duk wanda ya san Allah yakan saurare mu. Amma duk wanda ba daga Allah ba, ba ya sauraronmu. Ta haka ne muke gane Ruhun gaskiya, da kuma ruhun ƙarya.
7 Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God, and everyone loving has been begotten of God, and knows God;
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, mu ƙaunaci juna, domin ƙauna tana zuwa daga Allah ne. Duk mai ƙauna, haifaffe ne na Allah, ya kuma san Allah.
8 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
Duk wanda ba ya ƙauna, bai san Allah ba, domin Allah ƙauna ne.
9 In this was revealed the love of God in us, because God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through Him;
Ga yadda Allah ya nuna ƙaunarsa a cikinmu, Allah ya aiki makaɗaici Ɗansa zuwa duniya domin mu rayu ta wurinsa.
10 in this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son [as] the propitiation for our sins.
Wannan ita ce ƙauna, wato, ba mu ne muka ƙaunaci Allah ba, sai dai shi ne ya ƙaunace mu, ya kuma aiko Ɗansa yă zama hadaya ta kafara saboda zunubanmu.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another;
Abokaina ƙaunatattu, da yake Allah ya ƙaunace mu haka, ya kamata mu ma mu ƙaunaci juna.
12 no one has ever seen God; if we may love one another, God remains in us, and His love is having been perfected in us;
Ba wanda ya taɓa ganin Allah; amma in muna ƙaunar juna, Allah yana raye a cikinmu, ƙaunarsa kuwa ta zama cikakkiya a cikinmu ke nan.
13 in this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit He has given us.
Mun san cewa muna rayuwa a cikinsa shi kuma a cikinmu, domin ya ba mu Ruhunsa.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world;
Mun gani, mun kuma shaida cewa Uba ya aiko Ɗansa domin yă zama Mai Ceton duniya.
15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God;
Duk wanda ya yarda cewa Yesu Ɗan Allah ne, Allah yana raye a cikinsa, shi kuma a cikin Allah.
16 and we have known and believed the love that God has in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in love, remains in God, and God in him.
Ta haka muka sani, muke kuma dogara ga ƙaunar da Allah yake mana. Allah ƙauna ne. Duk wanda yake rayuwa cikin ƙauna, yana rayuwa a cikin Allah ne, Allah kuma a cikinsa.
17 In this, love has been perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because even as He is, we also are in this world.
Ta haka, ƙauna ta zama cikakkiya a cikinmu domin mu kasance masu ƙarfin hali a ranar shari’a, domin a wannan duniya muna kama da shi.
18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and he who is fearing has not been made perfect in love;
Babu tsoro cikin ƙauna. Cikakkiyar ƙauna dai takan kawar da tsoro, domin hukunci ne yake kawo tsoro. Mai jin tsoro ba cikakke ba ne a cikin ƙauna.
19 we love Him, because He first loved us;
Muna ƙauna, domin ya ƙaunace mu da farko.
20 if anyone may say, “I love God,” and may hate his brother, he is a liar; for he who is not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?
Duk wanda ya ce, “Ina ƙaunar Allah,” amma yana ƙin ɗan’uwansa, maƙaryaci ne. Gama duk wanda ba ya ƙaunar ɗan’uwansa da yake gani, ba zai iya ƙaunar Allah wanda ba ya gani ba.
21 And this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
Ya kuma ba mu wannan umarni cewa duk wanda yake ƙaunar Allah, dole yă ƙaunaci ɗan’uwansa.
