1 John 4

1 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.

Ana susue ngga re! Mete ma atahori esa nae eni nendi Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin, na, afiꞌ simbo leliꞌ a. Te hei musi paresaꞌ matalolole fo bubꞌuluꞌ oꞌolan naa, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ nema do hokoꞌ. Te aleꞌ ia mana peko-lelekoꞌ hetar lao ndule raefafoꞌ ia ena. Ara lelekoꞌ atahori rae, sira, Lamatualain mana ola-ola nara.

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

Hita bisa bubꞌuluꞌ hehelu-fufuliꞌ bee tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen, taꞌo ia: Lamatualain helu memaꞌ mia lele uluꞌ a, nae haitua Anan raefafoꞌ nema. Mete ma atahori mana nendi hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa nataa nae, Yesus Kristus naa, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Anan fo mana dadꞌi atahori onaꞌ hita, na, hehelu-fufulin memaꞌ laoꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ.

3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

Te atahori mana nda nau nataa Yesus taꞌo naa sa, eni nda naꞌoka sia Lamatualain sa. Te naa nema mia mana labꞌan neu Kristus. Hei rena mita oi, dei fo mana labꞌan Kristus naa, sou nema. Tao-tao te, mana onaꞌ naa sia raefafoꞌ ia ena.

4 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.

Ana susue ngga re! Memaꞌ hei miꞌoka sia Lamatualain ma koasan sia rala mara ena. Naa de ama misenggiꞌ mana labꞌan neu Lamatuaꞌ. Huu Dula-dalen mana sia rala mara naa, manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ koasa mana sia raefafoꞌ ia.

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

Te mana pepeko-leleko ra raꞌoka siaꞌ a raefafoꞌ ia. Naa de oꞌola nara o raꞌoka siaꞌ a raefafoꞌ ia hihii-nanaun boe. Ma atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia hiiꞌ a rena se.

6 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.

Te hita taꞌoka sia Lamatuaꞌ. Naa de atahori mana nahine Lamatuaꞌ nau rena nggita. Ma atahori nda mana naꞌoka sia Lamatuaꞌ sa na, ara nda nau rena nggita sa. No taꞌo naa, mete ma atahori sa nae eni nendi hehelu-fufuliꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ, hita bisa bubꞌuluꞌ bee matetuꞌ, mana maꞌokaꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen, ma bee pepeko-lelekoꞌ.

7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Ana susue ngga re! Hita musi sue-lai esa no esa, huu susueꞌ a naꞌoka sia Lamatualain. Basa atahori mana sue-laiꞌ, ara raꞌoka sia Lamatualain, ma rahine E no malole.

8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

Te atahori nda mana naꞌena susueꞌ a sa, nda nahine Lamatuaꞌ sa. Huu Lamatuaꞌ naa, naeni susueꞌ a.

9 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.

Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu susuen neu nggita taꞌo ia: Ana haitua Ana Mone Isen raefafoꞌ ia nema, fo soi dalaꞌ fee nggita. No taꞌo naa, ata bisa tasodꞌa takandoo to Lamatuaꞌ.

10 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.

Mete ma nau mita susue matetuꞌ a, na, afiꞌ mete neu hita susuen neu Lamatuaꞌ. Te mete neu Lamatuaꞌ susuen neu nggita, huu Ana haitua Anan nema fo mate dadꞌi neu tutunu-hohotuꞌ nggati hita ena. No taꞌo naa, Ana fee ambon neu sala-kilu tara ena, fo ata maloleꞌ baliꞌ to E.

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

Ana susue ngga re! Huu Lamatualain sue-lai naseliꞌ nggita taꞌo naa, na, hita o musi sue-lai esa no esa boe.

12 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.

Nda hambu atahori esa boe mete nita Lamatuaꞌ relo-relo sa. Mae onaꞌ naa o, mete ma hita esa sue-lai esa, naa sosoan nae, Lamatualain naꞌabꞌue no nggita ena. Ma Susuen boe namanae sia masodꞌa tara, losa dadꞌi susue matetuꞌ a.

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

Lamatualain fee Dula-dalen sia rala tara ena. Naa de ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, tasodꞌa ralaꞌ esa to Lamatuaꞌ ena, ma Ana o ralaꞌ esa no nggita boe.

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

Au o nonoo nggara mita Lamatualain Anan no hai mata aom ena. Basa de hai mifadꞌe neu basa atahori mae, Amaꞌ Lamatualain haitua Anan nema ena, fo fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia mia sala-kilu nara ena

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

Basa atahori mana rataa rae, Yesus naa, Lamatualain Anan, nasodꞌa malole baliꞌ no Lamatualain, ma Lamatuaꞌ o malolole no e boe.

16 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.

Hita bubꞌuluꞌ ena tae, Lamatuaꞌ sue naseliꞌ nggita. Naa de tamahere tae, dei fo Ana sue nakandoo nggita. Lamatuaꞌ sue naseliꞌ atahori. De atahori mana nasodꞌa ma sue-lai, nasodꞌa ralaꞌ esa no Lamatualain, ma Lamatuaꞌ o ralaꞌ esa no e boe.

17 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.

Ma, mete ma hita ralaꞌ esa to Lamatuaꞌ, na, hita susuen dadꞌi matetuꞌ. Basa fo, neu fai mateteꞌen, Lamatuaꞌ nae paresaꞌ basa atahori masodꞌa nara, na, hita nda tamatau tambariiꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ matan sa, huu hita dadꞌi onaꞌ Kristus leleꞌ Ana nasodꞌa sia raefafoꞌ ia.

18 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.

Mete ma hita tasodꞌa to susue-lalaiꞌ, na, nda tamedꞌa tamatau mbei sa boe. Huu mete ma hita sue no matetuꞌ, na, naa onaꞌ hita nggari hendi basa nemedꞌa nemetaus sia rala tara ena. Mete ma atahori esa namatau, na, ralan susa, huu namatau hambu huku-dokiꞌ a. Ana onaꞌ anadꞌikiꞌ nda feꞌe nahine sue atahori no matetuꞌ sa.

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

Hita sue-lai, huu Lamatualain sue-lai naꞌahuluꞌ hita ena.

20 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?

Mete ma atahori sa olaꞌ nae, “Au sue-lai Lamatualain,” tao-tao te ana mburu-oeꞌ no toronoon, na, eni lelekoꞌ. Huu mete ma atahori nda sue toronoon mana sia matan sa, na, taꞌo bee fo ana bisa sue-lai Lamatualain fo nda feꞌe nitaꞌ a sa? Hokoꞌ, to?

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

Huu Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ parendaꞌ ena nae, hita afiꞌ sue-laiꞌ a Eni, te musi sue-lai toronoo atahori mamahereꞌ ra boe.
