1 Yohanna 4
1 Abokaina ƙaunatattu, ba kowane ruhu za ku gaskata ba, sai dai ku gwada ruhohi don ku ga ko daga Allah ne, domin annabawan ƙarya da yawa sun fito duniya.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Ga yadda za ku gane Ruhun Allah, duk ruhun da ya yarda cewa Yesu Kiristi ya zo cikin jiki, to, daga Allah yake.
By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 Amma duk ruhun da bai yarda da Yesu ba, ba daga Allah ba ne, ruhun magabcin Kiristi ne, wanda kuka ji yana zuwa, har ma ya riga ya shigo duniya.
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.
4 Ku,’ya’yana ƙaunatattu, ku daga Allah ne, kun kuma yi nasara a kan magabtan Kiristi, domin wanda yake a cikinku ya fi wanda yake a duniya girma.
You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
5 Su daga duniya ne saboda haka suke magana yadda duniya take ganin abubuwa, duniya kuwa tana sauraronsu.
They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.
6 Mu daga Allah ne, kuma duk wanda ya san Allah yakan saurare mu. Amma duk wanda ba daga Allah ba, ba ya sauraronmu. Ta haka ne muke gane Ruhun gaskiya, da kuma ruhun ƙarya.
We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.
7 Abokaina ƙaunatattu, mu ƙaunaci juna, domin ƙauna tana zuwa daga Allah ne. Duk mai ƙauna, haifaffe ne na Allah, ya kuma san Allah.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 Duk wanda ba ya ƙauna, bai san Allah ba, domin Allah ƙauna ne.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 Ga yadda Allah ya nuna ƙaunarsa a cikinmu, Allah ya aiki makaɗaici Ɗansa zuwa duniya domin mu rayu ta wurinsa.
This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.
10 Wannan ita ce ƙauna, wato, ba mu ne muka ƙaunaci Allah ba, sai dai shi ne ya ƙaunace mu, ya kuma aiko Ɗansa yă zama hadaya ta kafara saboda zunubanmu.
And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Abokaina ƙaunatattu, da yake Allah ya ƙaunace mu haka, ya kamata mu ma mu ƙaunaci juna.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 Ba wanda ya taɓa ganin Allah; amma in muna ƙaunar juna, Allah yana raye a cikinmu, ƙaunarsa kuwa ta zama cikakkiya a cikinmu ke nan.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.
13 Mun san cewa muna rayuwa a cikinsa shi kuma a cikinmu, domin ya ba mu Ruhunsa.
By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.
14 Mun gani, mun kuma shaida cewa Uba ya aiko Ɗansa domin yă zama Mai Ceton duniya.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Duk wanda ya yarda cewa Yesu Ɗan Allah ne, Allah yana raye a cikinsa, shi kuma a cikin Allah.
If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 Ta haka muka sani, muke kuma dogara ga ƙaunar da Allah yake mana. Allah ƙauna ne. Duk wanda yake rayuwa cikin ƙauna, yana rayuwa a cikin Allah ne, Allah kuma a cikinsa.
And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17 Ta haka, ƙauna ta zama cikakkiya a cikinmu domin mu kasance masu ƙarfin hali a ranar shari’a, domin a wannan duniya muna kama da shi.
In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.
18 Babu tsoro cikin ƙauna. Cikakkiyar ƙauna dai takan kawar da tsoro, domin hukunci ne yake kawo tsoro. Mai jin tsoro ba cikakke ba ne a cikin ƙauna.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.
19 Muna ƙauna, domin ya ƙaunace mu da farko.
We love because He first loved us.
20 Duk wanda ya ce, “Ina ƙaunar Allah,” amma yana ƙin ɗan’uwansa, maƙaryaci ne. Gama duk wanda ba ya ƙaunar ɗan’uwansa da yake gani, ba zai iya ƙaunar Allah wanda ba ya gani ba.
If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
21 Ya kuma ba mu wannan umarni cewa duk wanda yake ƙaunar Allah, dole yă ƙaunaci ɗan’uwansa.
And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.
