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.
Ditsala tse di rategang, se dumeleng sengwe le sengwe se lo se utlwang fela ka gore mongwe a re ke molaetsa o o tswang kwa Modimong. O sekasekeng go bona gore a ke one tota. Gonne go setse go na le baruti ba le bantsi ba e seng ba boammaaruri,
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.
mme tsela ya go bona gore a molaetsa wa bone o tswa mo Moweng O O Boitshepo ke go botsa potso e e reng, “A go dumelesega tota gore Jesu Keresete, Morwa Modimo, o ne a nna motho a le mo mmeleng wa setho fela jaaka rona?” Fa e le gore go ntse jalo, mme molaetsa o tswa kwa Modimong.
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.
Fa e le gore ga go a nna jalo, molaetsa ga o tswe kwa Modimong, o tswa kwa go yo o tlhabantshang Keresete, jaaka “Moganetsa-Keresete” yo lo utlwileng ka ga gagwe yo o tlaa tlang mme mokgwa wa gagwe wa bobaba o o tlhabantshang ba ba kgatlhanong le Keresete,
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.
gonne go na le mongwe mo dipelong tsa lona yo o nonofileng go gaisa moruti mongwe le mongwe yo o bosula mo lefatsheng leno la boikepo.
5 They themselves of the world are; because of this from out of the world they speak and the world to them listens.
Batho ba ke ba lefatshe leno, jalo ka tlholego ba beile megopolo fela mo dilong tsa lefatshe ebile lefatshe le a ba reetsa.
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.
Mme rona re bana ba Modimo; ke sone se e leng gore ba ba tsamayang le Modimo ba bo ba bua le One ke bone fela ba ba tlaa re reetsang. Ba bangwe ga ba kitla ba re reetsa, ke yone tsela e nngwe ya go itse gore a molaetsa o tswa kwa Modimong tota; gonne fa e le gore go ntse jalo, lefatshe ga le na go o reetsa.
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;
Ditsala tse di rategang, a re itlwaetseng go ratana, gonne lorato lo tswa kwa Modimong mme ba ba ratang ebile ba le pelonomi ba supa gore ke bana ba Modimo, le gore ba simolola go o tlhaloganya botoka.
8 The [one] not loving not has known God, because God love is.
Mme fa motho a sena lorato le bopelonomi, go supa gore ga a itse Modimo, gonne Modimo ke lorato.
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.
Modimo o supile ka fa o re ratang ka teng ka go roma Morwaone yo o tsetsweng a le esi mo lefatsheng leno la boikepo go re leretse botshelo ja bosakhutleng ka loso lwa gagwe.
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.
Ka tiro e, re bona gore lorato lwa boammaaruri ke eng: ga se ka fa re ratang Modimo ka teng, mme ke lorato lwa One mo go rona go simolola ka nako e o neng o roma Morwaone go tla go nna setlhabelo se se ntsheditsweng dibe tsa rona.
11 Beloved, if so God loved us, also we ourselves ought one another to love;
Ditsala tse di rategang, ere ka Modimo o re ratile mo go kalo, re tshwanetse go ratana le rona.
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.
Gonne le fa re ise re ke re bone Modimo, fa re ratana Modimo o nna mo go rona, le lorato lwa One mo go rona lo a nonofa.
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.
Ebile o tsentse Mowa wa One O O Boitshepo mo dipelong tsa rona e le sesupo mo go rona gore re nna le One mme le One o nna le rona.
14 And we ourselves have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
Ebile gape, re bonye ka matlho a rona mme jaanong re bolelela lefatshe lotlhe gore Modimo o romile Morwaone go nna Mmoloki wa bone.
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.
Le fa e le mang yo o dumelang gore Jesu ke Modimo, Modimo o nna mo go ene le ene mo go One.
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)
Re itse gore Modimo o re rata go le kae gonne re ikutlwetse lorato lwa one, ebile re a o dumela fa o re bolelela gore o re rata thata. Modimo ke lorato, mme le fa e le mang yo o nnetseng ruri mo loratong o nnetse ruri mo Modimong le Modimo o nnetse ruri mo go ene.
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.
Mme ka re nna le Keresete, lorato lwa rona lo gola sentle thata ka boitekanelo; jalo he ga re na go tlhajwa ke ditlhong re bo re swaba ka letsatsi la tshekiso, mme re tlaa lebagana nae ka tshepo le ka boitumelo, gonne o a re rata mme le rona re a mo rata.
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.
Ga re a tshwanela go boifa motho yo o re ratang ka lorato lo lo itekanetseng, lorato lwa gagwe lwa boammaaruri lo nyeletsa pelaelo yotlhe ka bosula jo re bo mo gopolelang go bo dira mo go rona, mme mo go supa gore ga re dumele ka botlalo gore o re rata e le ruri.
19 We ourselves love (him *K) because He himself first loved us.
Jalo a lo lemoga gore go mo rata ga rona go dirwa ke go bo a re ratile pele.
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;
Fa mongwe a re, “Ke rata Modimo,” mme a tswelela ka go ila mogagabo ke moaki; gonne fa a sa rate mogagabo yo o mmonang ka matlho, o ka rata jang Modimo o a iseng a ke a o bone?
21 And this the commandment we have from Him, that the [one] loving God may love also the brother of him.
Mme Modimo ka sebele o rile motho a seka a rata Modimo fela, mme a rate le mogagabo.
