1 John 4
1 Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;
KOMPOK kan, komail der poson ngen karos, a kasaui song en ngen akan, ma re tapida sang ren Kot. Pwe saukop likam me toto kaparapar sili sappa.
2 in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,
Iet me komail asaki Ngen en Kot: Ngen karos, me kadede, me Iesus Kristus koti dong uduk, nan i me tapida sang ren Kot.
3 and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
O ngen karos, me so kadede, Iesus a sota tapida sang ren Kot, Nan i kristus likam, duen me komail ronger, me a pan pwarado, nan a mier sappa metet.
4 Ye — of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.
Sama ko, komail tapi sang ren Kot o kaloe irail edi, pwe i, me kotikot re omail, me lapa sang i, me mi ni sappa.
5 They — of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;
Irail me udan sappa, iei me irail lokaiaki sappa, o sappa kin rong irail.
6 we — of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.
Kitail tapi sanger ren Kot, me asa Kot, kin rong kitail. A me so sang ren Kot, sota kin rong kitail. Iei me kitail asaki Ngen en melel, o me udan likam.
7 Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;
Kompok kan, kitail kin poke pena, pwe limpok tapi sang ren Kot, A amen amen, me kin limpok, ipwi sang ren Kot, o a asa Kot.
8 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
Me so kin limpok, sasa Kot, pwe Kot udan limpok.
9 In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son — the only begotten — hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;
Ni met limpok en Kot sansal dong kitail: Kot kotin porone dong sappa sapwilim a Ieros eu, pwe kitail en maur ki i.
10 in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.
Ietet pason en limpok, kaidin kitail me tapin limpok ong Kot, pwe a tapin pok ong kitail, o poronedo sapwilim a Ol, wiala sauntom pan dip atail.
11 Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
Kompok kan, ma Kot kin limpoki ong kitail due met, kitail en pil limpok pena.
12 God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;
Sota me kilanger Kot ni ansau eu. Ma kitail limpok pena, nan Kot pan kotikot re atail, o a limpok me unsokelar re atail.
13 in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.
I me kitail asaki, me kitail mimieta re a, o a kotikot re atail, pwe a kotin kupurai dong kitail er Ngen i.
14 And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;
O se kilanger o kadededa, me Sam poronedo sapwilim a Ol, en wiala Saunkamaur pan sappa.
15 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;
Meamen me ponasa Iesus, me Sapwilim en Kot, nan Kot me kotikot re a, o i ren Kot.
16 and we — we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.
O kitail dedekier o kamelele limpok, me Kot kotin wiai ong kitail. Kot me limpok, o me kin potopot ni limpok, kin potopot ren Kot, o Kot kotikot re a.
17 In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we — we also are in this world;
Iet unsok en atail limpok: Kitail pan aima ni ran en kadeik, pwe duen i, iduen kitail nin sappa et.
18 fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;
Sota masak ni limpok, pwe limpok melel kin kausa sang masak, pwe masak kin kareda kamekam. Ari, me kin masak, nan a limpok saikenta unsokala.
19 we — we love him, because He — He first loved us;
Kitail kin limpok, pwe i me kotin tapiadar pok ong kitail.
20 if any one may say — 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God — whom he hath not seen — how is he able to love?
Ma amen kin inda: I kin pok ong Kot, ap kin sempok ong ri a, nan i me likam amen, pwe me kin sempok ong ri a, me a kilanger, da a pan kak pok ong Kot, me a sota kilanger?
21 and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
A kusoned pot et kitail aleer sang re a, me i, me pok ong Kot, en pil pok ong ri a.
