1 John 4

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

‌ʻE Kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa tui ki he laumālie kotoa pē, kae ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ngaahi laumālie, pe ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakinautolu: koeʻuhi kuo tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita loi kuo ʻalu atu ki māmani.

2 By this you know the Rukha of God: every spirit who confesses that Yeshua Meshikha has come in the flesh is of God,

Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku mou ʻilo ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua: Ko e laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ia:

3 and every spirit who does not confess Yeshua is not of God; and this is that of the Anti-Meshikha, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

Pea ko e laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai fakahā kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe ʻOtua ia: pea ko eni ia ʻae Fili ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo mou fanongo ki ai ʻe haʻu; pea ʻoku lolotonga ni ʻene ʻi māmani.

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

‌ʻE fānau ʻofeina, kuo ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea kuo mou ikuna ʻakinautolu: he koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi ia kiate ia ʻoku ʻi māmani.

5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

‌ʻOku ʻoe māmani ʻakinautolu: ko ia ʻoku nau lea ai ki māmani, pea fanongo ʻa māmani kiate kinautolu.

6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

‌ʻOku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimautolu: ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻe fanongo ia kiate kimautolu; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ia kiate kimautolu. Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe moʻoni, mo e laumālie ʻoe hē.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

‌ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, ke tau feʻofaʻaki kiate kitautolu: he ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ʻofa; pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa, kuo fanauʻi ia ʻi he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua.

8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe ia ʻae ʻOtua; he ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻofa.

9 By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Ko eni ia naʻe fakahā ai ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu ki he māmani, koeʻuhi ketau moʻui ʻiate ia.

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Ko eni ʻae ʻofa, naʻe ʻikai ko ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ko ʻene ʻofa kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne fekau hono ʻAlo ko e feilaulau totongi ʻi heʻetau angahala.

11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

‌ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, kapau naʻe pehē ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ʻoku totonu foki ʻetau feʻofaʻaki.

12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

Kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻe mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga. Kapau ʻoku tau feʻofaʻaki, ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea kuo fakahaohaoaʻi ʻene ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu.

13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Rukha.

Ko eni ʻae meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau nofo ʻiate ia, pea mo ia ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi kuo ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻa hono Laumālie.

14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

Pea kuo mau mamata, mo fakahā, kuo fekau ʻe he Tamai ʻae ʻAlo ko e Fakamoʻui ki he māmani.

15 Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

Ko ia ia te ne fakahā ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Sisu, ʻoku nofo ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia, pea mo ia ʻi he ʻOtua.

16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

Pea kuo tau ʻiloʻi mo tui ki he ʻofa kuo ʻi he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu. Ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻofa; pea ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻofa, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he ʻOtua, mo e ʻOtua ʻiate ia.

17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

‌ʻI he meʻa ni ʻoku fakahaohaoa ʻae ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tau loto mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakamaau: koeʻuhi ʻoku tau hangē ko ia ʻi he māmani.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

‌ʻOku ʻikai ha manavahē ʻi he ʻofa; ka ʻoku tekeʻi atu ʻae manavahē ʻe he ʻofa haohaoa: he ʻoku ʻi he manavahē ʻae mamahi. Ko ia ia ʻoku manavahē, ʻoku teʻeki ke fakahaohaoa ia ʻi he ʻofa.

19 We love, because he first loved us.

‌ʻOku tau ʻofa kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tomuʻa ʻofa mai kiate kitautolu.

20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Kapau ʻe pehē ʻe ha taha, ʻOku ou ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ko e loi ia: he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ki hono tokoua kuo ne mamata ki ai, ʻe fēfē ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻOtua naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki ai?

21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

Pea ko e fekau ni ʻoku tau maʻu meiate ia, Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ke ʻofa foki ia ki hono tokoua.
