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.

Yaa michoota, hafuuronni kan Waaqaa taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaanii ilaaluuf qoradhaa malee hafuurota hunda hin amaninaa; raajonni sobduun hedduun addunyaa seenaniiru.

2 In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in the flesh, it is of God,

Haalli isin ittiin Hafuura Waaqaa beektanis kanuma: Hafuurri akka Yesuus Kiristoos fooniin dhufe dhugaa baʼu hundi kan Waaqaa ti;

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.

hafuurri akka Yesuus Kiristoos fooniin dhufe dhugaa hin baane hundi kan Waaqaa miti. Inni hafuura farra Kiristoos, kan isin akka inni dhufu dhageessan sanaa ti; innis ammuma iyyuu addunyaa keessa jira.

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.

Yaa ijoolle, isin kan Waaqaa ti; jaras moʼattaniirtu; inni isin keessa jiru kan addunyaa keessa jiru sana caalaa guddaadhaatii.

5 They are of the world, because they speak of this from the world, and the world hears them;

Isaan kan addunyaa ti; kanaaf wanni isaan dubbatanis kanuma addunyaa ti; addunyaanis isaan dhaggeeffata.

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.

Nu kan Waaqaa ti; namni Waaqa beeku hundinuus nu dhaggeeffata; namni kan Waaqaa hin taʼin garuu nu hin dhaggeeffatu. Kanaanis Hafuura dhugaatii fi hafuura sobaa addaan baafnee ni beekna.

7 Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God, and everyone loving has been begotten of God, and knows God;

Yaa michoota, jaalalli kan Waaqaa waan taʼeef kottaa wal jaallannaa. Namni jaallatu hundi Waaqa irraa dhalate; Waaqas ni beeka.

8 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

Sababii Waaqni jaalala taʼeef, namni hin jaallanne hundi Waaqa hin beeku.

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;

Waaqni akka nu karaa isaatiin jireenya argannuuf jedhee Ilma isaa tokkicha sana gara addunyaatti erge. Kanaanis jaalalli Waaqaa nu gidduutti mulʼateera.

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.

Jaalalli isa kana: Kunis nu Waaqa jaallannee miti; garuu Waaqatu nu jaallatee akka inni aarsaa cubbuu keenyaaf araara buusu taʼuuf Ilma isaa erge.

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

Yaa michoota, erga Waaqni akkana nu jaallatee nus wal jaallachuu qabna.

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;

Namni tokko iyyuu takkumaa Waaqa hin argine; yoo wal jaallanne garuu Waaqni nu keessa jiraata; jaalalli isaas nu keessatti guutuu taʼa.

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

Inni waan Hafuura isaa irraa nuu kenneef nu akka isa keessa jiraannuu fi akka innis nu keessa jiraatu kanaan ni beekna.

14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world;

Akka inni Fayyisaa addunyaa taʼuuf jedhee Abbaan Ilma isaa akka erge argineerra; dhugaa baanas.

15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God;

Yoo namni kam iyyuu Yesuus Ilma Waaqaa akka taʼe dhugaa baʼe, Waaqni isa keessa jiraata; innis Waaqa keessa jiraata.

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.

Kanaafuu jaalala Waaqni nuuf qabu beekneerra; amanneerras. Waaqni jaalala. Namni jaalalaan jiraatu Waaqa keessa jiraata; Waaqnis isa keessa jiraata.

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.

Nus akka guyyaa murtiitti ija jabina qabaannuuf karaa kanaan jaalalli nu gidduutti guutuu taʼeera; nu addunyaa kana irratti Yesuusin fakkaannaatii.

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;

Jaalala keessa sodaan hin jiru. Sodaan waan adabbii wajjin wal qabatee jiruuf jaalalli mudaa hin qabne sodaa of keessaa baasee gata. Namni sodaatu tokko jaalalli isaa guutuu miti.

19 we love Him, because He first loved us;

Nu sababii inni duraan dursee nu jaallateef isa jaallanna.

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?

Namni, “Ani Waaqa nan jaalladha” jechaa obboleessa isaa immoo jibbu kam iyyuu sobduu dha. Namni obboleessa isaa kan arge sana hin jaallanne kam iyyuu Waaqa hin argin sana jaallachuu hin dandaʼu.

21 And this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

Inni ajaja kana nuu kenneera: Namni Waaqa jaallatu kam iyyuu obboleessa ofii isaa jaallachuu qaba.
