1 John 4

1 tano nyo nob cwi ka miko kom ciyere kange yuwa tangbe no nyori kom cuwa yuwa tanngbeko kom nyimom no kwama ceri la nyo nob dukkumecwer ducce wifo mwor kalewo

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 nyokak nyimom yuwa tongbako gwam ciya kange kiritti Almaciya bou mworon bwiyeri na kwama ce

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 no nyori yuwa tangbako ciya bo kange keritti kobo na kwamace, co yuwa tangbako, wo ko kange Almaciya kom nuwa wi botiye, kweri bi yeken wifo mwor kalewo

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 kom bi beiyo curou nob kwama nine, kweri kom cam kaba diye bwiye” niworu fwer kumereu lawuro fo kalewo bidiwiyer

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 ci na kalece dige ci toktiyeu na kalece, yilo kaleu nuwa citi

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

6 nyo na kwama ce, gwam ni wo nyimom kwama nurang yoti wuro kebo na kwama cemani nuwarang yoti co fiye nyo nyimom yuwa tangba keni kange yuwa tangba cwerke

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 nob cwika mikko bi cwi butibi dila na kwama ce wono ki cwikadi ci bo cedi kino firen kwama, dila con nyimom kwama

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 ni wo man ki cwi ka cwibo kwama niworo nyombo kwama, dila kwama cwika, nyo more ce ci cwika kwama cwika, nyo morece ci cwika kwama,

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

9 binene kwama tomu bibwece wo nyo wine fo kalewo dige bwiye nabi bu wi cimen

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 nyo wi more curo cwika wi kebo bo bi cwi kwama dila kwama cwibe co tomu bi bweco na cok binen bwirangker lero

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 nob cwika miko kambo kwama bi langbo nyowe daten bilang butibi

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

12 ni kange mani wo tom kwama wiye no bi cwiti bwitibiri kwama yimwi more be, dila cwika wi nyimom morebe,

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 cofiye ba nyimom ti ciki no morebe co keneu co ki no morebe dige bwiyeu naco bo yuwa cekko

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

14 bin tom bin ne bilengke biki kwama bi bwece, na yilam nii fuloka kale

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

15 gwam niwo ciya kiritti bi bwe kwama ri kwama yim morece co kene co mwor kwama

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

16 bin nyimom bin ne bilengke cwi ka kwama woru mabinen tiye, kwama cwika, wa yim mwor cwikari yim mwor cwika kwama, kwama la yim mworece

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 nyo no wurori cwika kwama fiyam fiye yime tiber kumet nakom yimki nyomka kambo ken kibi diye warka, kambo co no curo nyie, bona curoken wimwor kalewo

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 twai mani mwor cwika la cwika kendo bouti ki twai, dige bwiye twaiyo ken kange warka dila niwo ki twaiyeu manki cwika ko ken

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 bi cwi bileng lati dige bwiye kwama ten maka cwika beke

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

20 no nika tok ki ci cwi kwama tiri la ci ko kecetiri nii cwerke, tano niwo cwibo kece wuroci totiyeri, mani ce cwikwama wuro mani cototiyeti

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 wuro co kero nyo cike ci mone, gwam niwo cwi kwama tiye tam nyo ca bilang yice,

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.
