1 Yuhana 4

1 Kinnayi, na iwa yinin ni yeme fip ba, bara nanin dumuzunan koyeme nfip inin yene sa min Kutelleri, bara among anan kinu madk gbardan inani malu nuzu udu nanya nye.

My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 Kikanere ima yinu Nfip Kutelle - nfip mona miyina Yesu Kristi na dak nanya kidawo minare min Kutelle.

By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

3 Nin vat nfip mona miyinna nin Yesu ba na min Kutelleri ba. Monere infip ni vira Kristi, mona ina malin lanzu adin chinu, amin di nanya inye nene.

And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

4 Anun un Kutelleri, nono ni nibebene, inamalin katu likara mine, bara ame ulena adi nanya bit akatin likara inle na adi nanya inye.

You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

5 Inin anan inyeri di, bara nani ilemon na ibele in inyeri di, uye din latiszu nanin.

They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.

6 Arik anan Kutelleri. Ulena yiru Kutelle ama latiszu nari. Bara nanere tima yinu infip min kidegen nin infip min kinu.

We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.

7 Kinnayi, suu kogha ku ukauna, bara Kutelle ukaunari, vat ulena adini ukauna ina maru ghe kiti Kutelleri ani yiru Kutelle.

My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

8 Unit ulena adin suu ukauna ba na ayiru Kutelle ba, bara Kutelle ukaunari.

He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

9 Nani ukauna Kutellere ana durso nari, Kutelle na tuu gono me kirum nanya inye ti nan se ulau nuzu me.

And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

10 Ai ukaunere ule, na arike ti din kauna Kutelle, amere na din suu bit, amini na tuu gono me bara alapi bit.

And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

11 Knnayi, andi Kutelle din suu bit kang, ariki wang tisu usuu nwana bit.

My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

12 Na umomg nayene kutelle ba, andi tidinin suu li nwana bit Kutelle ma soo nanya bite nin usuu me mayitu nanya bit.

No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:

13 Bara nanere tiyino tidi nanya me ame nanya bit, bara ana ni nari Nfip mi lau.

And his Spirit which he has given us is the witness that we are in him and he is in us.

14 Tina yene tinani ta suu ushaida ucife na tuu gone ayita unan tucu inye.

And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Vat ulena ayina Yesu gono Kutelleri, Kutelle di nanya me ame ma di nanya Kutelle.

Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

16 Tiyiru nin yinu sauyenu usuu me na Kutelle dimong nanya bi. Kutelle ukaunari, ulena adini ukauna ama suo nanya me, Kutelle ma suu nanya me.

And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

17 Ulel usuware mali tii likara nanya bit, tinan yita nikibinai salin feu mbungme nliri mawucuwuce, bara na adi, nanere tidi nanya nye.

In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 Na ifeu di kiti nsuu ba. Bara usuu likar din kuo infeu piit, bara infeu di kusarin kpizu. Bara ulena adinin infeu na adini likara kitin suu ba.

There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.

19 Tidinin suu bara Kutelle na chizu ussu bite.

We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

20 Andi umong woro, “Adini suu Kutelle” amine nari gwaname, ame unan kinuwari. Bara ulana adinin suu gwana me ba naadin yejugye, iyizari ama yitu nin suu Kutelle ulena asa tabina uyenugye ba.

If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?

21 Tone tinare tidokoki tona tina se kitime: Ulena adinin suu Kutelle doleri ayita nin suu gwana me.

And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.
