1 John 4
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, unu ekwenyela okwu mmụọ niile, kama nwaleenụ mmụọ niile ahụ i mata ma ha si na Chineke, nʼihi na ọtụtụ ndị amụma ụgha apụọla baa nʼime ụwa.
2 By this the Spirit of God is known: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
Otu a ka unu ga-esi mata Mmụọ nke Chineke: Mmụọ ọbụla nke na-ekwupụta na Jisọs Kraịst abịala nʼanụ ahụ sitere na Chineke.
3 but every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is now in the world already.
Ma mmụọ ọbụla nke na-adịghị ekwupụta Jisọs esiteghị na Chineke, mmụọ dị otu a bụ nke onye ahụ na-emegide Kraịst nke unu nụrụ na ọ ga-abịa, ma ugbu a ọ bịala nʼụwa.
4 You are from God, little children, and you have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
Ụmụntakịrị m, unu bụ ndị sitere na Chineke, unu emeriekwala ha nʼihi na onye ahụ nke bi nʼime unu dị ukwuu karịa onye ahụ nọ nʼime ụwa.
5 They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.
Nʼihi na ndị a si nʼime ụwa pụta. Ya mere, ihe ha na-ekwu okwu ya bụ naanị ihe banyere ụwa. Ụwa na-aṅakwa ha ntị.
6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Anyị sitere na Chineke, onye ọbụla maara Chineke na-ege anyị ntị, ma onye ọbụla na-esiteghị na Chineke anaghị ege anyị ntị. Ọ bụ otu a ka anyị si amata mmụọ eziokwu na mmụọ nke okwu ụgha.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, o kwesiri ka anyị hụrịtaa onwe anyị nʼanya, nʼihi na ịhụnanya na-esi nʼebe Chineke nọ abịa. Onye ọbụla nwere ịhụnanya bụ onye amụrụ site na Chineke, ọ makwara Chineke.
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Onye na-enweghị ịhụnanya amaghị Chineke, nʼihi na Chineke bụ ịhụnanya.
9 In this the love of God was revealed among us, that God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
E siri otu a mee ka ịhụnanya Chineke nʼebe anyị nọ pụta ìhè: Chineke zitere naanị otu Ọkpara ya nʼụwa ka anyị nwee ndụ site na ya.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Nke a bụ ihe a na-akpọ ịhụnanya, ọ bụghị na anyị hụrụ Chineke nʼanya kama na ọ hụrụ anyị nʼanya ma zite Ọkpara ya dịka aja nke juru ya obi maka mmehie niile anyị.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, ebe ọ bụ na Chineke si otu a hụ anyị nʼanya, anyị kwesiri ịhụrịta onwe anyị nʼanya.
12 No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
O nwebeghị mgbe ọbụla anyị ji anya anyị hụ Chineke anya, ma ọ bụrụ na anyị ahụ ibe anyị nʼanya, Chineke na-ebi nʼime anyị. A na-emekwa ka ịhụnanya ya zuo oke nʼime anyị.
13 We know that we abide in him and he in us because he has given us his Spirit.
O tinyekwala Mmụọ Nsọ ya nʼime anyị igosi anyị na o bi nʼime anyị, na anyị bikwa nʼime ya.
14 And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
Ma anyị onwe anyị ahụla ma na-agbakwa ama na Nna ahụ zitere Ọkpara ya ka ọ bụrụ Onye nzọpụta nke ụwa.
15 If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
Chineke bi nʼime onye ọbụla nke na-ekwupụta na Jisọs bụ Ọkpara Chineke. Onye dị otu a bikwa nʼime Chineke.
16 And we have come to know and to trust in the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Anyị maara ma kwerekwa nʼịhụnanya Chineke nwere nʼebe anyị nọ. Chineke bụ ịhụnanya. Onye ọ bụlakwa na-ebi ndụ ịhụnanya na-anọgide nʼime Chineke. Chineke nʼonwe ya na-ebinyekwara onye dị otu a.
17 In this way, love is perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, a na-eme ka ịhụnanya zuo oke nʼetiti anyị, ka anyị nwee ike inwe nkwuwa okwu nʼụbọchị ikpe ahụ, nʼihi na dịka ya onwe ya dị, otu a ka anyị onwe anyị dịkwa nʼụwa nke a.
18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
Ịtụ egwu adịghị nʼebe ịhụnanya dị, kama ịhụnanya zuruoke na-achụpụ egwu nʼihi na egwu na ntaramahụhụ na-arụkọ ọrụ, onye ọbụla nke na-atụ egwu bụ onye na-ezubeghị oke nʼịhụnanya.
19 We love him because he first loved us.
Anyị hụrụ ya nʼanya nʼihi na o buru ụzọ hụ anyị nʼanya.
20 Whoever says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother is a liar. For if anyone does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Onye ọbụla na-asị, “Ahụrụ m Chineke nʼanya,” ma nọgide na-akpọ nwanna ya asị, onye ahụ bụ onye ụgha. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọ hụghị nwanna ya nʼanya, bụ onye ọ na-ahụ anya kwa ụbọchị, ọ pụghị ịhụ Chineke nʼanya bụ onye ọ na-ahụbeghị anya.
21 And this is the commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Iwu o nyere anyị bụ, “Onye ọbụla hụrụ Chineke nʼanya aghakwaghị ịhụ nwanna ya nʼanya.”
