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.
Ka lungnaak pyikhqi, myihla saqui ce koeh cang law na uh, Khawsa ben nakaw hy voei aw tice simnaak aham noek a dak law lah uh, tawngha qawl ve khawmdek awh khawzah a ceh hawh a dawngawh.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
Khawsa Myihla hatnaak taw veni: Jesu Khrih taw pumsa na law hy ak ti myihla cetaw Khawsa ben nakaw myihla na awm nawh,
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.
Jesu amak dyih pyi myihla boeih boeih cetaw Khawsa ven nakaw amni. Ce mihkhqi cetaw Khrih ak oelh myihla, cemyih myihla law kaw, tinawh nangmih ing naming zaak ceni, ce myihla ce tuh awm khawmdek awh awm hawh hy.
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.
Ka lungnaak naasenkhqi, nangmih taw Khawsa ven nakaw thlangkhqi na nami awm a dawngawh ce mihkhqi ce noeng hawh uhyk ti, kawtih nangmih ak khuiawh ak awm ce ve khawmdek awh ak awm anglakawh bau khqoet hy.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Ce mihkhqi taw khawmdek ben nakawng ami law a dawngawh khawmdek huhnaak ing kqawn uhy, khawmdek ingawm cekkhqi ak awi ce ngai pehy.
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.
Ningmih taw Khawsa ven nakaw thlangkhqi ni, u awm Khawsa ak sim ingtaw ningnih ak awi ce ngai hy, cehlai u awm Khawsa ben nakaw thlang am ingtaw ningnih ak awi ce am ngai hy. Ve ve awitak Myihla ingkaw amak thym myihla hatnaak na awm hy.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Ka lungnaak pyikhqi, pynoet ingkaw pynoet lung qu na lah u sih, kawtih, lungnaak taw Khawsa ven nakawng ni a law lungnaak ak ta thlang taw Khawsa ing a cun thlang na awm nawh Khawsa ce sim hy.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
U awm lungnaak amak ta thlang taw Khawsa ce am sim hy, kawtih, Khawsa taw lungnaak na a awm a dawngawh.
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.
Vemyihna Khawsa ing ningnih a venawh lungnaak dang law sak hy: amah ak caming ni hqingnaak thai aham pynoet chyn ca ak awm amah a Capa ce khawmdek na tyi law hy.
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.
Lungnaak taw veni: ningnih ing Khawsa amni lungna hy, cehlai amah ing ningnih ani lungnaak khqi a dawngawh ningnih a thawlh awh tlang na lucik sainaak aham a Capa ce tyi law hy.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Ka lungnaak pyikhqi, Khawsa ing ani lungnaak khqi soeih a dawngawh ningnih awm pynoet ingkaw pynoet ning lung qunaak aham awm hy.
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.
U ingawm Khawsa ce am hu man hy; cehlai ningnih pynoet ingkaw pynoet ning lung qunaak awhtaw, Khawsa ce ningnih ak khuiawh awm nawh a lungnaak ce ningnih ak khuiawh soep hy.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Amah awh ni awm unawh anih awm ningnih ak khuiawh awm hy tice ni sim uhy; kawtih, amah ing amah ang Myihla ce ni pek khqi hawh hy.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Khawmdek hulkung na Khawsa ing a Capa tyi law hy tice ningnih ing ni hu unawh nik kqawn hawh uhy.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
U awm Jesu taw Khawsa Capa ni ak ti taw, anih ak khuiawh Khawsa ce awm nawh anih awm Khawsa ak khuiawh awm hy.
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.
Khawsa ing ningnih ani lungnaak ce ningnih ing ni sim unawh nik cangna uhy.
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.
Cemyihna, awidengnaak khawnghi awh ngaihqepnaak ni taak naak thai aham ninglak awh lungnaak soep hy, kawtih, ningnih taw ve khawmdek awh amah amyihna ni awm uhy.
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.
Lungnaak awh kqihnaak am awm hy, lungnaak soep ing kqihnaak ce hquut hy, kawtih kqihnaak taw toelna a awm a dawngawh ni a awm. Kqihnaak ak ta thlang taw lungnaak soep am ta hy.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Amah ing ani lungnaak khqi lamma a dawngawh ningnih ing ni lungna lawt uhy.
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?
U ingawm, Khawsa lungna nyng” ti seiawm a koeinaa ce a sawhnaak awhtaw, anih ce qaai ak kqawn ni. A huh nawn a koeinaa za amak lungnaak thlang ing ama huh man Khawsa taw am lungna tikaw.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Anih ing ningnih a ven awhkaw awipeek ve ni pehy: U awm Khawsa ak lungnaak thlang ingtaw a koeinaa ce a lungnaak aham awm hy.
