1 John 4
1 Beloved, not every spirit do believe but do test the spirits whether of God they are, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Mezanmi, nou pa bezwen kwè tout moun k'ap di yo gen Lespri Bondye a. Men, se pou n' sonde yo pou nou wè si lespri yo genyen an soti nan Bondye vre. Paske, gen yon bann fo pwofèt ki gaye toupatou sou latè a.
2 By this (you know *NK+O) the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ in [the] flesh having come of God is.
Men ki jan nou ka konnen si yon lespri soti nan Bondye: tout moun ki di Jezikri te yon moun tout bon, se moun ki gen lespri ki soti nan Bondye a.
3 and any spirit that not confesses Jesus (Christ in flesh having come *K) from God not is; And this is that of the antichrist which you have heard that is coming and now in the world is already.
Men, si yon moun refize rekonèt Jezi te yon moun tout bon, moun sa a pa gen lespri ki soti nan Bondye a. Lespri li genyen an soti nan moun k'ap goumen ak Kris la. Yo te di nou moun k'ap goumen ak Kris la te gen pou l' te vini. Enben, koulye a li deja nan lemonn.
4 you yourselves from God are, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is the [One] in you than the [one] in the world.
Men, nou menm, pitit mwen yo, nou se moun Bondye, nou kraze fo pwofèt yo, paske lespri ki nan nou an gen plis pouvwa pase lespri ki nan moun ki pou lemonn yo.
5 They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.
Lè y'ap pale yo pale tankou moun ki nan lemonn. Moun ki nan lemonn ap koute yo paske yo menm tou yo se moun lemonn.
6 We ourselves of God are; The [one] knowing God listens to us; He who not is from God not listens to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
Men, nou menm, nou se moun Bondye. Tout moun ki konnen Bondye, yo koute lè n'ap pale ak yo. Moun ki pa moun Bondye p'ap koute nou. Se konsa nou ka konnen diferans ki genyen ant lespri k'ap pale verite a ak lespri k'ap bay manti a.
7 Beloved, we may love one another, because love from God is and everyone who is loving from God has been born and knows God;
Mezanmi, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt paske renmen soti nan Bondye. Moun ki gen renmen nan kè yo, se pitit Bondye yo ye. Yo konnen ki moun Bondye ye.
8 The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.
Moun ki pa gen renmen nan kè yo, yo pa konn Bondye, paske Bondye se renmen menm.
9 In this has been revealed the love of God among us, that the Son of Him the one and only has sent God into the world so that we may live through Him.
Men ki jan Bondye fè nou wè jan li renmen nou. Li te voye sèl pitit li a sou latè pou l' te ka ban nou lavi.
10 In this is love, not that we ourselves (have loved *N+kO) God, but that He himself loved us and He sent the Son of Him [as] a propitiation for the sins of us.
Men kisa renmen an ye: Se pa nou menm ki te renmen Bondye, se li menm pito ki te renmen nou, ki te voye Pitit li a pou nou te ka resevwa padon pou peche nou yo, gremesi Pitit la.
11 Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;
Mezanmi, si Bondye renmen nou konsa, nou menm tou se pou nou yonn renmen lòt.
12 God no [one] at any time has seen; if we shall love one another, God in us abides and the love of Him in us perfected is.
Pesonn pa janm wè Bondye. Men, si nou yonn renmen lòt, Bondye fè yonn ak nou. Konsa n'a renmen tout bon, jan Bondye renmen an.
13 By this we know that in Him we abide and He in us, because from out the Spirit of Him He has given to us.
Nou konnen nou fè yonn ak Bondye, Bondye fè yonn ak nou, paske li ban nou Sentespri li.
14 And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
Nou menm, n'ap di sa nou te wè. Papa a voye Pitit li a pou delivre tout moun.
15 Who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) shall confess that Jesus (Christ *O) is the Son of God, God in him abides and he in God.
Moun ki rekonèt Jezi pou Pitit Bondye a, Bondye fè yonn ak yo, yo fè yonn ak Bondye.
16 And we ourselves have come to know and we have come to believe the love that has God as to us. God love is, and the [one] abiding in love in God abides, and God in him (abides. *NO)
Nou menm nou konnen jan Bondye renmen nou, nou kwè se vre. Bondye se renmen an menm. Moun ki gen renmen nan kè yo, yo fè yonn ak Bondye, Bondye fè yonn ak yo.
17 In this has been perfected love with us, so that confidence we may have in the day of judgment, that even as He is also we ourselves are in world this.
Nou konnen nou renmen Bondye tout bon lè kè nou pa kase pou jou jijman an, paske n'ap viv nan lemonn tankou Kris la t'ap viv.
18 Fear no there is in love, but perfect love out casts fear, because the fear punishment has; the [one] now fearing not has been perfected in love.
Kote ki gen renmen, pa gen kè kase. Okontrè, lè nou renmen tout bon, si kè nou te kase, li pa kase ankò. Konsa, yon moun ki pè toujou, li poko fin renmen nèt. Paske si ou pè, se paske ou pè chatiman.
19 We ourselves love (him *K) because He himself first loved us.
Pou nou menm, nou gen renmen nan kè nou, paske Bondye te renmen nou anvan.
20 If anyone shall say that I love God and the brother of him may hate, a liar he is; The [one] for not loving the brother of him whom he has seen, God whom not he has seen (not *N+KO) is he able to love;
Si yon moun di: mwen renmen Bondye, pou anmenmtan pou l' rayi frè l', moun sa a ap bay manti. Paske, si li pa renmen frè l', yon moun li ka wè, li pa ka renmen Bondye li pa ka wè a.
21 And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
Se sak fè, men kòmandman Kris la ban nou: Moun ki renmen Bondye, yo fèt pou renmen frè yo tou.
