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, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of 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 you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is of 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.
and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Yeshua the Messiah has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Anti-messiah, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is 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 of God, little children, and 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 of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears 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 of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t 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’s love one another, for love is of 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.
He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for 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.
By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world 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 as 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 seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been 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.
By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 Akka inni Fayyisaa addunyaa taʼuuf jedhee Abbaan Ilma isaa akka erge argineerra; dhugaa baanas.
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as 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.
Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains 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.
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 Nus akka guyyaa murtiitti ija jabina qabaannuuf karaa kanaan jaalalli nu gidduutti guutuu taʼeera; nu addunyaa kana irratti Yesuusin fakkaannaatii.
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 we are 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 punishment. He who fears is not made perfect 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.
If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t 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.
This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
