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.
Kaunatattu, kada ku amince da kowanne ruhu. Amma ku gwada ruhohi ku gani ko na Allah ne, gama annabawan karya masu yawa sun fito zuwa cikin duniya.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
Ta haka zaku gane Ruhun Allah, dukkan ruhun da ya amince Yesu Almasihu ya zo cikin jiki na Allah ne,
3 and every spirit who does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
kuma dukkan ruhun da bai amince da Yesu ba, ba na Allah bane. Wannan ruhun magafcin Almasihu ne, wanda kuka ji cewa yana zuwa, ya kuwa rigaya yazo cikin duniya.
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.
'Ya'yana kaunatattu, daga Allah ke, kuma kun rigaya kun yi nasara da su da yake wanda ke cikinku ya fi wanda ke cikin duniya girma.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Su na duniya ne, saboda haka abin da suke fadi na duniya ne, duniya kuma tana sauraronsu.
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.
Mu na Allah ne, duk wanda ya san Allah yana saurarenmu. Wanda ba na Allah bane, ba ya sauraronmu. Ta haka muka gane ruhun gaskiya da ruhun karya.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.
Kaunatattu, mu yi kaunar juna, gama kauna ta Allah ce, wanda yake kauna an haife shi daga wurin Allah, kuma ya san Allah.
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Mutumin da baya kauna ba na Allah ba ne, kuma bai san Allah ba, gama Allah kauna ne.
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.
A cikn haka aka bayyana kaunar Allah a garemu, Allah ya aiko tilon Dansa cikin duniya domin mu rayu ta wurinsa.
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.
A cikin wannan akwai kauna, ba mune muka kaunaci Allah ba, amma shi ya kaunace mu ya aiko da Dansa ya zama mai gafarta zunubanmu.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Kaunatattu, da yake Allah ya kaunace mu haka, ya kamata mu kaunaci junanmu.
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.
Ba wanda ya taba ganin Allah. Idan muna kaunar juna, Allah yana zaune cikinmu, kuma kaunarsa tana zaune a cikinmu.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Ta haka mun sani muna zaune a cikinsa shi kuma a cikinmu, saboda ya bamu Ruhunsa.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Mun gani mun shaida, cewa Allah ya aiko Dan, domin ya zama mai ceton duniya.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
Duk wanda ya amince Yesu Dan Allah ne, Allah na zaune cikinsa, shi kuma a cikin Allah.
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.
Mun sani kuma mun gaskata da kaunar da Allah yake da ita dominmu, Allah kauna ne wanda yake zama cikin kauna yana zaune cikin Allah, Allah kuma a cikinsa.
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.
Dalilin wannan kauna ta kammala a cikinmu, domin mu kasance da gabagadi a ranar shari'a, domin kamar yanda ya ke haka muma muke a cikin duniyan nan.
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.
Babu tsoro a cikin kauna. Amma cikkakiyar kauna takan kawar da tsoro, domin kuwa tsoro na tafi tare da hukunci. Amma wanda yake da tsoro ba shi da cikkakiyar kauna.
19 We love, because he first loved us.
Muna kauna domin Allah ne ya fara kaunarmu.
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.
Idan wani ya ce,”Ina kaunar Allah”, amma yana kin dan'uwansa, makaryaci ne. Domin wanda baya kaunar dan'uwansa da yake gani, ba zai iya kaunar Allah da bai taba gani ba.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Wannan ne umarnin da muke da shi daga wurinsa: Duk wanda yake kaunar Allah dole ne ya kaunaci dan'uwansa.
