1 Yochanan 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.
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 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus (the) Messiah has come in the flesh 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 who does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is that of the antimessiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
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 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. Therefore they speak of 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 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 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, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born 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 does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Duk wanda ba ya ƙauna, bai san Allah ba, domin Allah ƙauna 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.
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 have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice 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 loved us in this way, 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 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 taɓa ganin Allah; amma in muna ƙaunar juna, Allah yana raye a cikinmu, ƙaunarsa kuwa ta zama cikakkiya a cikinmu ke nan.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Mun san cewa muna rayuwa a cikinsa shi kuma a cikinmu, domin ya ba mu Ruhunsa.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Mun gani, mun kuma shaida cewa Uba ya aiko Ɗansa domin yă 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 yarda cewa Yesu Ɗan Allah ne, Allah yana raye a 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.
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 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.
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 has punishment. He who fears is not 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, because he first loved us.
Muna ƙauna, domin ya ƙaunace mu da farko.
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.
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 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Ya kuma ba mu wannan umarni cewa duk wanda yake ƙaunar Allah, dole yă ƙaunaci ɗan’uwansa.
