1 Joon 4

1 Nga mongnook joonte loong, ngo ih ang ah bah uh nga jinni Chiiala eje ngeh baat han bah thoontang nak hanpi an, enoothong thaak teeme eh an eno chiiala ah Rangte taangnawa tam ah ma nawa ah erah dong jat joh an. Mamah liidih mih khowamoong loong ah noongrep ni jen pheekhoom erumta.

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

2 Rangte Chiiala elang tam talangka amah ih danjat an: marah ih Jisu Kristo ah mina ih hoon ano mongrep ni ra taha ngeh hanpiiha erah jinni Rangte taangnawa raaha rah Chiiala je ah.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

3 Enoothong marah ih Jisu ah mina ih hoon ano ra taha ngeh lah hanpiika bah, chiiala ah Rangte taangnawa ra haarah tah angka, enoothong heh taangnawa chiiala ah Kristo Raawah taangnawa ang ah; sen ih echaat etan eraak eha, erah amadi mongrep ni ejen raak ih taha.

and every spirit who does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

4 Enoothong nga sah loong, sen ah Rangte mina, eno sen ih lalangka khowah loong ah ejen etan, mamah liidih Chiiala marah sen taang ni angla erah Chiiala ah mongrep dowa chiiala nang ih echaan thoon.

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.

5 Lalangka khowah ih mongrep tiit baat ha erah mongrep nawa ih ba chaat ah, mamah liidih neng loong ah mongrep dowa.

They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

6 Enoothong seng loong ah Rangte mina. Marah mina ih Rangte jat eha erah mina loong ih seng jeng echaat ih ah; ngo Rangte mina tah angka erah mina ih seng jeng tah chaatka. Eno juuba amiisak Chiiala nyia lalangka chiiala ah jen dan baat ih.

We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7 Mongnook joonte loong, seng jaachi nah minchan mui etheng, mamah liidih minchan ah Rangte taangnawa ra taha. Marah mina ih minchan eha erah Rangte suh asah nyia Rangte ah ejat eha.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

8 Marah mina ih lah minchanka erah mina ih Rangte ah tah jatka, mamah liidih Rangte ah minchan.

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

9 Rangte ih heh Sah esiit luulu mongrep ni kaatthuk haano heh minchan ah noisok hali, erah doba heh jun ih seng roidong ah jen choh ih.

By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

10 Minchan abah arah: Rangte ah seng ih minchan ino tah angka, enoothong heh ih minchan heeno seng loong rangdah biin anaan raang ih heh Sah daapkaat taha.

In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

11 Mongnook joonte loong, Rangte ih emah minchan hali bah, seng laktung nah uh minchan mui etheng.

Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

12 Ngo mina eh uh Rangte ah etup muh, enoothong seng laktung nah minchan mui ibah, Rangte ah seng damdoh roong tongha, eno heh minchan rah seng minchan mui kino epunthoon ih hoonla.

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.

13 Seng loong ten ni kamkam angli seng ah Rangte damdi roong tongli eno Rangte ah seng damdi roongtong hala, mamah liidih heh ih seng loong suh heh Chiiala koh tahe.

By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

14 Seng ih etup eti eno wahoh suh baat ehi Hewah ih mongrep puipang suh heh Sah daapkaat taha ngeh ah.

We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

15 Jisu ah Rangte Sah mokli ibah, seng loong ah Rangte damdi roong tongli eno Rangte ah seng loong damdi roongtong hala.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

16 Rangte ih seng minchan hali ah seng teeteewah ih ejat ehi nyia ehanpi ehi. Rangte ah minchan, marah mina minchan ni roong tongla erah Rangte damdi roong tongla eno Rangte uh neng damdi roong tongla.

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.

17 Minchan ah seng damdi ang ano epunthoon ih hoonla, dande saadoh seng tenchaan ih jenchap suh ah; seng loong suh tenchaan ah eje angjih, mamah liidih arah mongrep adi seng roidong ah Kristo angla likhiik angli.

In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

18 Minchan ni echo tah jeeka; epunthoon minchan rah ih echo tenthun tah dong thukka. Erah raangtaan ih ngo mina echo ela heh jinni minchan ah epunthoon tah angka, mamah liidih echo ela ah ehoocham thuktheng eje angthoi choola.

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.

19 Rangte ih phang minchan thoidi seng ih we minchanhi.

We love, because he first loved us.

20 Rangte ah minchan ehang li ino, phoh ano ah miksuk mok eh ibah, seng loong ah eleek. Erah raangtaan ih seng mik eh tup hi phoh ano ah lamok minchan keebah seng mik eh latupke Rangte ah batang aleh mamah ma mi minchan ih.

If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

21 Kristo ih koh tahe jengdang abah amah: Ngo ih Rangte minchan ha erah ih phoh ano nep uh minchan jaatjaat etheng.

This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
