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, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to 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.
in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,
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 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.
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.
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.
5 Su daga duniya ne saboda haka suke magana yadda duniya take ganin abubuwa, duniya kuwa tana sauraronsu.
They — of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear 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 — 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.
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, 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;
8 Duk wanda ba ya ƙauna, bai san Allah ba, domin Allah ƙauna ne.
he who is not loving did 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.
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;
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.
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.
11 Abokaina ƙaunatattu, da yake Allah ya ƙaunace mu haka, ya kamata mu ma mu ƙaunaci juna.
Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
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.
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;
13 Mun san cewa muna rayuwa a cikinsa shi kuma a cikinmu, domin ya ba mu Ruhunsa.
in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.
14 Mun gani, mun kuma shaida cewa Uba ya aiko Ɗansa domin yă zama Mai Ceton duniya.
And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;
15 Duk wanda ya yarda cewa Yesu Ɗan Allah ne, Allah yana raye a cikinsa, shi kuma a cikin Allah.
whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, 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 — 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.
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 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;
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.
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;
19 Muna ƙauna, domin ya ƙaunace mu da farko.
we — we love him, because He — 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 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?
21 Ya kuma ba mu wannan umarni cewa duk wanda yake ƙaunar Allah, dole yă ƙaunaci ɗan’uwansa.
and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
