1 Joan 4
1 Maiteác, spiritu gucia ezteçaçuela sinhets, baina phorogaitzaçue spirituac eya Iaincoaganic diradenez: ecen anhitz propheta falsu ethorri içan dirade mundura.
My beloved, believe not all spirits; but discriminate among spirits, whether they are of God: for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 Hunetan eçagut eçaçue Iaincoaren Spiritua. Iesus Christ haraguitara ethorri dela confessatzen duen spiritu gucia, Iaincoaganic da.
By this the Spirit of God is known, every spirit that confesseth that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh, is of God.
3 Eta cein-ere spirituc ezpaitu confessatzen Iesus Christ haraguitara ethorri içan dela hura ezta Iaincoaganic: eta halaco spiritua Antechristena da, ceinez minçatzen ençun vkan baituçue, ecen ethorteco dela, eta ia orain munduan da.
And every spirit which confesseth not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh, is not of God; but he is of the false Messiah, of whom ye have heard that he cometh, and now is he already in the world.
4 Haourtoác, çuec Iaincoaganic çarete, eta garaithu çaizte hæy: ecen handiago da çuetan dena, ecen ez munduan dena.
But ye children, are of God; and ye have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you, than he who is in the world.
5 Hec mundutic dirade, halacotz munduaz minço dirade, eta mundua hæy behatzen çaye.
And they are of the world: therefore they speak from the world, and the world heareth them.
6 Gu Iaincoaganic gara: Iaincoa eçagutzen duena, guri behatzen çaicu: Iaincoaganic eztena guri etzaicu behatzen: hunetan eçagutzen dugu eguiazco Spiritua, eta errorezco spiritua.
But we are of God; and he that knoweth God, heareth us; and he that is not of God, heareth us not. By this, we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Maiteác, elkarri on eritzi dieçogun: ecen charitatea Iaincoaganic da: eta norc-ere onhesten baitu, hura Iaincoagaoic iayo da, eta eçagutzen du Iaincoa.
My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God.
8 Onhesten eztuenac, eztu eçagutzen Iaincoa: ecen Iaincoa charitate da.
Because God is love; and whoever loveth not, doth not know God.
9 Hunetan manifestatu içan da Iaincoaren gureganaco charitatea, ceren bere Seme bakoitza igorri vkan baitu Iaincoac mundura, harçaz vici garençát.
By this was the love of God towards us made known, because God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we by him might live.
10 Hunetan da charitatea, ez ceren guc onhetsi dugun Iaincoa, baina ceren harc onhetsi baiquaitu gu, eta igorri vkan baitu bere Semea gure bekatuacgatic appoinctamendu licençát.
In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.
11 Maiteac, baldin hunela Iaincoac onhetsi baiquaitu, guc-ere behar dugu elkar onhetsi.
My beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 Iaincoa eztu nehorc ikussi egundano: baldin elkar maite badugu Iaincoa gutan dago, eta haren charitatea complitu da gutan.
No one hath ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hunetan eçagutzen dugu ecen hartan egoiten garela, eta hura gutan, ceren bere Spiritutic eman baitraucu.
And by this we know, that we abide in him and that he abideth in us, because he hath given of his Spirit to us.
14 Eta guc ikussi vkan dugu, eta testificatzen dugu ecen Aitác igorri vkan duela Semea munduaren Saluadore içateco.
And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son, a Redeemer for the world.
15 Norc-ere confessaturen baitu ecen Iesus dela Iaincoaren Semea, Iaincoa hura baithan dago, eta hura Iaincoa baithan.
Whoever confesseth Jesus to be the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he abideth in God.
16 Eta guc eçagutu eta sinhetsi dugu Iaincoac guregana duen charitatea. Iaincoa charitate da: eta charitatean egoiten dena, Iainco baithan egoiten da, eta Iaincoa hura baithan.
And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God.
17 Huneçaz complitu içan da charitatea guregana, iudicioco egunean segurança dugunçát, ceren hura den beçalaco baicara gu-ere mundu hunetan.
And hereby is his love perfected with us; that we may have open countenances in the day of judgment; because as he was, so also are we in this world.
18 Beldurric ezta charitatean: aitzitic charitate perfectoac campora egoizten du beldurra: ecen beldurrac tormenta du: eta beldur dena ezta complitua charitatean.
In love there is no fear; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear existeth in peril, and he that feareth is not perfected in love.
19 Guc hari on daritzagu, ceren harc lehenic onhetsi baiquaitu gu.
Let us, therefore, love God; because he hath first loved us.
20 Baldin nehorc erran badeça, Maite dut Iaincoa: eta bere anayeari gaitz badaritza: gueçurti da: ecen bere anaye dacussana maite eztuenac, ikusten eztuen Iaincoa nola maite ahal duque?
And if any one shall say, I love God, and yet hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother who is visible, how can he love God who is invisible?
21 Eta manamendu haur dugu harenganic, Iaincoa maite duenac, maite duen bere anayea-ere.
And this command we have received from him, that whoever loveth God, must love also his brother.
