1 Yohannis 4
1 Yaa michoota, hafuuronni kan Waaqaa taʼuu fi taʼuu baachuu isaanii ilaaluuf qoradhaa malee hafuurota hunda hin amaninaa; raajonni sobduun hedduun addunyaa seenaniiru.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Haalli isin ittiin Hafuura Waaqaa beektanis kanuma: Hafuurri akka Yesuus Kiristoos fooniin dhufe dhugaa baʼu hundi kan Waaqaa ti;
By this the Spirit of God is known: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 hafuurri akka Yesuus Kiristoos fooniin dhufe dhugaa hin baane hundi kan Waaqaa miti. Inni hafuura farra Kiristoos, kan isin akka inni dhufu dhageessan sanaa ti; innis ammuma iyyuu addunyaa keessa jira.
but every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is now in the world already.
4 Yaa ijoolle, isin kan Waaqaa ti; jaras moʼattaniirtu; inni isin keessa jiru kan addunyaa keessa jiru sana caalaa guddaadhaatii.
You are from God, little children, and you have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
5 Isaan kan addunyaa ti; kanaaf wanni isaan dubbatanis kanuma addunyaa ti; addunyaanis isaan dhaggeeffata.
They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.
6 Nu kan Waaqaa ti; namni Waaqa beeku hundinuus nu dhaggeeffata; namni kan Waaqaa hin taʼin garuu nu hin dhaggeeffatu. Kanaanis Hafuura dhugaatii fi hafuura sobaa addaan baafnee ni beekna.
We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
7 Yaa michoota, jaalalli kan Waaqaa waan taʼeef kottaa wal jaallannaa. Namni jaallatu hundi Waaqa irraa dhalate; Waaqas ni beeka.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 Sababii Waaqni jaalala taʼeef, namni hin jaallanne hundi Waaqa hin beeku.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 Waaqni akka nu karaa isaatiin jireenya argannuuf jedhee Ilma isaa tokkicha sana gara addunyaatti erge. Kanaanis jaalalli Waaqaa nu gidduutti mulʼateera.
In this the love of God was revealed among us, that God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
10 Jaalalli isa kana: Kunis nu Waaqa jaallannee miti; garuu Waaqatu nu jaallatee akka inni aarsaa cubbuu keenyaaf araara buusu taʼuuf Ilma isaa erge.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Yaa michoota, erga Waaqni akkana nu jaallatee nus wal jaallachuu qabna.
Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
12 Namni tokko iyyuu takkumaa Waaqa hin argine; yoo wal jaallanne garuu Waaqni nu keessa jiraata; jaalalli isaas nu keessatti guutuu taʼa.
No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Inni waan Hafuura isaa irraa nuu kenneef nu akka isa keessa jiraannuu fi akka innis nu keessa jiraatu kanaan ni beekna.
We know that we abide in him and he in us because he has given us his Spirit.
14 Akka inni Fayyisaa addunyaa taʼuuf jedhee Abbaan Ilma isaa akka erge argineerra; dhugaa baanas.
And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Yoo namni kam iyyuu Yesuus Ilma Waaqaa akka taʼe dhugaa baʼe, Waaqni isa keessa jiraata; innis Waaqa keessa jiraata.
If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 Kanaafuu jaalala Waaqni nuuf qabu beekneerra; amanneerras. Waaqni jaalala. Namni jaalalaan jiraatu Waaqa keessa jiraata; Waaqnis isa keessa jiraata.
And we have come to know and to trust in the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
17 Nus akka guyyaa murtiitti ija jabina qabaannuuf karaa kanaan jaalalli nu gidduutti guutuu taʼeera; nu addunyaa kana irratti Yesuusin fakkaannaatii.
In this way, love is perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world.
18 Jaalala keessa sodaan hin jiru. Sodaan waan adabbii wajjin wal qabatee jiruuf jaalalli mudaa hin qabne sodaa of keessaa baasee gata. Namni sodaatu tokko jaalalli isaa guutuu miti.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
19 Nu sababii inni duraan dursee nu jaallateef isa jaallanna.
We love him because he first loved us.
20 Namni, “Ani Waaqa nan jaalladha” jechaa obboleessa isaa immoo jibbu kam iyyuu sobduu dha. Namni obboleessa isaa kan arge sana hin jaallanne kam iyyuu Waaqa hin argin sana jaallachuu hin dandaʼu.
Whoever says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother is a liar. For if anyone does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
21 Inni ajaja kana nuu kenneera: Namni Waaqa jaallatu kam iyyuu obboleessa ofii isaa jaallachuu qaba.
And this is the commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
