1 Joni 4

1 Ronenimote, vahe'mo'za maka avamuteti nehune hanaza zankura tamentinti osiho. Hianagi Anumzamofontegati ne-efi avame anteta keho. Na'ankure rama'a havige kasnampa vahera, ama mopafina vuno eno hu'ne.

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 Amanahu kantegati Anumzamofo avamure hunka kenka eri fore hugahane. Ina vahe'mo huama huno Jisasi'a, Kraisikino mopare avufa erino e'ne hania avamura Anumzamofontegati e'ne.

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 Hianagi vahe'mo'ma huama huno, Jisasi'a Anumzamofontegatira ome'ne hania avamura, e'i Anumzamofontegatira ome'neanki, Kraisima huhaviza hunte havige enti Kraisi, ko'ma egahie higetma antahi'nazana, menina ko ama mopafi fore huno mani'ne.

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 Mofavre naganimote Anumzamofo mofavre mani'naze. Mani'nageno tamagu'afima mani'nea Avamu'mo'a, mopafima mani'nea havi avamura agatere'ne.

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 Zamagra ama mopafi vahere, ana hu'nagu kema hazana mopafi zankuke nehazageno, mopafi vahe'mo'za ke'zamia nentahize.

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

6 Tagra Anumzamofo nagare, Anumzamofoma keno antahino hu'nemo'a, ketia nentahie. Hianagi Anumzamofo naga'ma omani'namo'za ketia nontahize. E'inama higeta keta antahita huta tamage Avamuki, havi avamuki huta nehune.

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 Ronenimote, rumokizmigura ovesinte avesinte hanune, na'ankure avesinte'zana Anumzamofompinti e'ne. Maka vahe'mo'za ovesinte avesintema nehaza vahera, Anumzamo'a nezmafa'za nehige'za, Anumzamofona ke'za antahi'za nehaze.

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 Vaheku'ma avesima onte vahe'mo'a, Anumzamofona keno antahino osu'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a avesizamofo agafa'e.

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

9 Anumzamo'ma avesi rante'neazama eri taveri hu'neana amane, ana kankamuntetire, Agripinti tasimura erisunegu magoke ante'nea mofavre'a ama mopafina huntegeno e'ne.

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 Ama ana avesi'zana, tamage tagra Anumzamofona avesi ontenonkeno, Agra'a tagrira avesi ranteno, magoke ante'nea Nemofona huntegeno, kumitimofona nona huno apaserante'ne.

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 Ronenimote, Anumzamo'ma tagri'ma avesi rante'nenigeta, anazanke huta rumokizmia tagra ovesinte avesinte hugahune.

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

12 Mago vahe'mo'e huno Anumzamofona onke'ne, tagrama rumokizmigu ovesinte avesintema hanunkeno'a, Anumzamo'a tagrane manina, Agri avesizamo'a fatgo huno tagrane megahie.

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 E'ina'ma hanuta tagra antahita keta huta Anumzamo'ene mani'none hanunkeno, Agra tagrane nemanie. Na'ankure Agra'a Avamura tamigeno tagrane mani'ne.

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

14 Tagra negeta huama huta Nefa'a, Nemofo huntegeno ama mopafi vahe'mota tahoke heno taza hunaku e'ne.

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

15 Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'ma Jisasinku Anumzamofo mofavre huno'ma huama'ma hanimofona, Anumzamo'a Agripi manigeno, anamo'a Anumzamofompi mani'ne.

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

16 Tagra keta antahita nehuta, tamentintia Anumzamo'ma avesima rante'nea'zankura nehune. Anumzamo'a avesi'zamofo agafa'e. Hanki iza'o avesizama'afima manisimo'a, Anumzamofompi maninigeno, Anumzamo'a agripi manigahie.

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 Ana avesizamo'ma fatgo huno tagranema mesigeta, refko'ma hania knarera, hanavetita otigahune. Na'ankure ama mopafi mani'nonanagi, Jisasikna huta fatgo huta mani'nonkeno'e.

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 Avesinte zampina koro'ma hu'zana omane'ne, hianagi tamage avesi'zamo'a, koroma hu'zana erinetre. Na'ankure koro'ma haniana refko'ma hurante'zankure. Knama eri'zanku'ma koro'ma hanimofona, avesinte'zana fatgo huno agripina omane'ne.

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 Tagripima ovesinte avesinte avu'ava'ma me'neana, na'ankure Agra esera avesirante'ne.

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

20 Hagi mago'mo huno, Anumzamofo navesinentoe nehuno, amentintima nehia nefuma avesi ontesuno'a, havige vahe mani'ne. Na'ankure mago'mo amentinti nehia nefuma negemofama avesi ontesuno'a, Anumzana nonkemofona avesi ontegahie.

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 Jisasi'a amanage huno kasegea tami'ne, Anumzamofoma avesintesimo'a, amentinti nehia nefuna ana huno avesintegahie.

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.
