1 John 4

1 My beloved, believe not all spirits; but discriminate among spirits, whether they are of God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Kaunatatu, na kpayeim ni Ruhohi wa wu mba u' na naki bi ka tsra ba toh ko ba rji ni Irji. Bi toh Irji, bi che ba hei game ba shu ni gbugbulu zizan.

2 By this the Spirit of God is known, every spirit that confesseth that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh, is of God.

Naki bi toh Ruhu Irji- du Ruhu wa a kpa yiem di yesu kristi aye ni mi n'man a rji ni Rji kena.

3 And every spirit which confesseth not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh, is not of God; but he is of the false Messiah, of whom ye have heard that he cometh, and now is he already in the world.

Du Ruhu wa ana kpa yeim ni yesu na, ana rji ni Irji na. A Ruhu bi kran yesu kena wa bi woh da ni ye a riga da ye ni mi gbugbulu ye. Iftift Greek bi sen bi didi ba bla ifga di du Ruhu wa ana toh di Yesu a ye ni mi n man rji ni Irji na, ana u' Irji na ahi ki hi Ruhu bi kran Yesu, wa bi woh Kuma a hei ni gbugbulu ye ifga

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

Bi yi bi rji ni Irji mri di zan gbengbenlen mba don wa a hei ni suron mbi a brabran zan wa ahei ni gbugbulu a.

5 And they are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world heareth them.

Ba rji ni gbugbulu, du kpe wa ba tre ahi wu gbugbulu, gbugbulu'a ni sren toh ni bawu.

6 But we are of God; and he that knoweth God, heareth us; and he that is not of God, heareth us not. By this, we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Kita ki rji ni Irji, indi wa atoh Irji ani sren toh ni tawu indi wa ana rji ni Irji na ana sren toh ni tawu na naki kitoh Ruhu'u jaji, ni Ruhu'u' lahtre

7 My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God.

Kaunatatu kin yema ni kpambu don i yemen a rji ni Irji, du indi wa ani yemn grji ni Irji wa kuma a toh Irji.

8 Because God is love; and whoever loveth not, doth not know God.

Indi wa na yemen ni ndi na ana toh Irji na, don Irji hi kauna.

9 By this was the love of God towards us made known, because God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we by him might live.

Naki iyemen u Irji ba shile ni mi mbu di Irji aton vre ma riri ye ni mi gbugbulu du ta kiso tutrun ni tu ma.

10 In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

Na yi a hi kpayemen ana kita ki son Irji na, na yi a wawu yemen ni ta, da ton vre ma du yekpa ta chuwoh ni lahtre.

11 My beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Kaunatatu inde Irji ni son ta, i kita me ki ka kpayemen ni kpambu.

12 No one hath ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Ba ndi wa a taba toh Irji. Ki ti ni son kpambu Irji hei nimibu ison ma ni mi mbu ni mla tati.

13 And by this we know, that we abide in him and that he abideth in us, because he hath given of his Spirit to us.

Na ki ki toh di ki hei tare ni u'wa hei ni mi mibu. Anota bru Ruhu ma bari.

14 And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son, a Redeemer for the world.

Na ki ki toh di kpayeim di Iti a ton vre ma du ye da kpa gbugbulu'a cuwo.

15 Whoever confesseth Jesus to be the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he abideth in God.

Du ndi wa a bu yua ma da tre di Yesu a vre Irji, Irji hei ni 'u' u wa wu hei ni mi Irji.

16 And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God.

Naki kita ki toh di kpayiem ni son wa Irji hei wu ta wu'a Irji hi son, ndi wa ahei ni mi son yi a hei ni mi Irji, u'Irji hei ni u game.

17 And hereby is his love perfected with us; that we may have open countenances in the day of judgment; because as he was, so also are we in this world.

Ahei naki ison yi mla ta ti du ta hei ni gbengbenlen chachu bla tre ma naki ma ahei jaji kita me ki ka hei naki ni mi gbugbulu.

18 In love there is no fear; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear existeth in peril, and he that feareth is not perfected in love.

Sisir na hei ni mi son a na, ison u' jaji azu sisir rju naki sisir hei ni horo. ndi wa ni klu sisir anati jaji ni mi son na.

19 Let us, therefore, love God; because he hath first loved us.

Ki son 'u' don Irji guci sonta.

20 And if any one shall say, I love God, and yet hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother who is visible, how can he love God who is invisible?

Inde ndi wa a tre wawu ni son Irji da ni kran vayi ma, ahi ndi wu che. Ndi wa ana son vayi ma wa asi toh ana ni son Irji wa ana toh-o ma?

21 And this command we have received from him, that whoever loveth God, must love also his brother.

Naki wa yi ni tre wa ki kpa ni u' indi wa ni son Irji wa ka son vayi ma game.
