1 Yochanan 4
1 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Ry rañetse, ko fonga iantofañe ze atao fañahy, fe mitsohà arofo, ke boak’ aman’ Añahare, amy te maro ty mpitoky vìlañe miboele ami’ty voatse toy.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is of God,
Inao ty aharendreha’ areo i Arofon’ Añaharey: ze troke miantoke te nitotsak’ ami’ty nofotse t’Iesoà Norizañe ro aman’ Añahare;
3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Anti-messiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
fe tsy aman’ Añahare ze troke tsy miantoke te niboak’ an-tsandriñe t’Iesoà, ie ro amy mesia-vìlañey, i jinanji’ areo te ho aviy, vaho fa ami’ty voatse toy henaneo.
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.
Boak’ aman’ Añahare nahareo ry keleiako, le fa nahagioke; amy te jabajaba i ama’ areoy ta ty ami’ty voatse toy.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Mpiami’ ty voatse toy iereo, naho manao ty reha’ ty voatse toy, vaho itsanoña’ ty voatse toy.
6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Boak’ aman’ Añahare tika. Mijanjiñe antikañe ze mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare; tsy mijanjiñe antika ze tsy mpiaman’ Añahare. Inay ty aharendrehan-tika ty Arofon-katò naho i fañahin-dilatsey.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Ry rañetse, antao hifampikoko, fa boak’ aman’ Añahare ty koko. Ndra ia ia mikoko, le nampiareñen’ Añahare vaho mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
Ndra ia ia tsy mikoko, le tsy mahafohiñe an’Andrianañahare, amy te fikokoañe t’i Andrianañahare.
9 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.
Inao ty mampidodea ty fikokoan’ Añahare aman-tika: toe nirahen’ Añahare mb’ami’ty voatse toy i bako-toka’ey hiveloman-tika.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Inao o fikokoañeo: tsy te itika ro nikoko an’Andrianañahare fa Ie hey ro nikoko an-tika vaho nañitrike i Ana’ey hañefetse o hakeon-tikañeo.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Ry rañetseo, kanao izay ty nikokoan’ Añahare antika, ehe te hifampikoko ka.
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.
Leo raike tsy nahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare ndra mbia’ mbia, f’ie mifampikoko le mimoneñe aman-tikañ’ ao t’i Andrianañahare, naho fonireñe aman-tikañ’ i fikokoa’ey.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Inao ty aharendrehan-tika te mimoneñe ama’e, naho ie amantika, le t’ie nandiva i Arofo’ey aman-tikañe.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Saviour of the world.
Fa niisa’ay naho mitaroñe te nahitrin-dRae i Ana’ey, Mpandrombake ty voatse toy.
15 Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
Ze mitaroñe Iesoà t’ie Anan’ Añahare, le mimoneñe ama’e ao t’i Andrianañahare naho aman’ Añahare ao re.
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.
Fa fohintika naho atokisañe ty fikokoan’ Añahare an-tika. Fikokoañe t’i Andrianañahare, naho mimoneñe aman’ Añahare ao ze mimoneñe am-pikokoañe ao, vaho ama’e ao t’i Andrianañahare.
17 In this, love has been made perfect amongst us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement, because as he is, even so we are in this world.
Inao ty mahaañoñe o fikokoan-tikañeo, hahafirearean-tika amy andron-jakay, t’ie mihambañe ama’e an-tane atoy.
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.
Tsy aman-kebahebake ty hatea, le mandroake anifañe ty koko ki’e, fe mioza lovelove ty hemba; mbe tsy fonitse koko ty marimarike.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Mikoko tika, amy te Ie hey ro nikoko an-tikañe.
20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Naho eo ty manao: Kokoako t’i Andrianañahare, f’ie malain-dongo, ro mpandañitse; amy te aia ty hahafikokoa’e an’Andrianañahare tsy isa’e naho tsy kokoa’e hey ty longo’e trea.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Inao ty nandilia’e an-tika: Tsy mete tsy mikoko longo ty mikoko an’Andrianañahare.
