Jan Tikpiali 4

1 n buakaaba, yin da dugi mani yaaba kuli n tua ke bi pia Utienu Fuoma po, ama yin biigi la ki bandi bi yaa tie Utienu yaaba. kelima bisawali pua - fadanba boncianla cua li ŋandilinni.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 line ba teni yin bandi yua n pia Utienu Fuoma, yua n tuo ke Jesu kilisiti cua ki tie nisaalo kuli pia Utienu Fuoma.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 yua n nia kaa tuo Jesu kuli, waa pia Utienu fuoma, ama o pia kilisiti - yeka yama po. nani yin den gbadi ke yua baa cua yeni, baa moala o ye ŋanduna nni.

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 yinba a biwaala, yi tie Utienu yaabe! yi paadi ba, kelima yua ye yi ninni, paalu cie yua n ye ŋandunanni.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 ban woni, tie ŋanduna yaabe, lani teni ke bi maama tie ŋanduna yaama, ke ŋanduna yaaba mo cengi ba.

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 tinba wani tie Utienu yaabe, yua n bani Utienu kuli cengi ti maama - yua kaa tie Utienu yua mo kan cengi ti maama: lani n teni ke ti bani imoamoani fuoma leni mi tuofaama gagidima.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7 n buakaaba, tin ya bua mani ti yaba, kelima mi buama ña Utienu kane, yua n pia mi buama mo kuli, Utienu n mali o, ke o bani Utienu mo.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 yua kaa pia buama kuli, naa bani Utienu, kelima Utienu tie buama.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 Utienu den doagidi ti po o buama, kelima o den soani o bonjayenyenga ŋanduna nni ke tin yaa pia li miali o ninni.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 mi buama naa tie ke tinba ka bua Utienu, ama ke wani n bua ti, ki soani o Bijua ke o tua i candanbaani padili ti ya tuonbiadi po.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

11 n buakaala, Utienu ya bua ti yeni, li pundi ti moko n bua ti yaba.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 o ba kuli daa la Utienu, ama ti ya bua tiyaba, Utienu ye ti niinni, ke o buama mo dagidi ti niini cain.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 ti bani ke ti ye o niinni, ke o mo ye ti niinni, kelima o puni ti o fuoma.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 tinba wani la, ki tieni siedi, ke baa soani o Bijua ke o tie ŋanduna candaano.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

15 yua n tuo ke Jesu tie Utienu Bijua kuli, Utienu ye o niinni, o moko ye Utienu ya niinni.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16 tinba wani bandi Utienu n pia ya buama ti po, ti dugi mi po mo. Utienu tie buama, yua nye li buama nni kuli, ye Utienu nni, ke Utienu moko ye o niinni.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 wan tie maama, ti moko tie yene ŋanduna nni, yene ke mi buama ŋani cain ti niinni, ke tin ya ti pia lipapaali li bujiali daali.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 jawaandi naa ye buama nni, ama ya buama n ŋani cain deli ki ñandi ti jawaandi kelima ti jawaandi n pia yua jie u cuonu yo. ti jawaandi n pia yua daa pia mi buama ke mi dagidi o niinni.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19 tinba wani, ti bua o kelima wani n den kpa bua ti.

We love him, because he first loved us.

20 yua n tua: ke o bua Utienu, ki nan nani o kpiilo, tie tuofadaano, kelima yua n ki bua wan n nua o kpiilo yua, baa ga lede ki bua Utienu, yua ke o nua?

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 ti baa o kani ya balimaama n tie na: li pundi ke yua n bua Utienu, n bua o kpiilo moko.

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
