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.
Ay-ayatek, saankayo a mamati lattan iti tunggal espiritu, ngem suotenyo dagiti espiritu tapno makitayo no naggapuda iti Dios, gapu ta adu a palso a profeta ti nagwaras iti lubong.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
Babaen iti daytoy, maammoanyo ti Espiritu ti Dios - tunggal espiritu a mangbigbig a ni Jesu-Cristo nga immay iti lasag ket naggapu iti Dios,
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.
ken tunggal espiritu a saan a mangbigbig kenni Jesus ket saan a naggapu iti Dios. Daytoy ti espiritu ti anti-cristo, a nangngeganyo nga umay, ken ita ket addan iti lubong.
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.
Dakayo ket iti Dios, patpatgek nga annak, ken napagballigianyo dagidiay nga espiritu, gapu ta isuna nga adda kadakayo ket dakdakkel ngem isuna nga adda iti lubong.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
Dagidiay nga espiritu ket iti lubong, ngarud dagiti ibagada ket mainaig iti lubong, ken ti lubong ket dumngeg kadakuada.
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.
Datayo ket iti Dios. Isuna a makaam-ammo iti Dios ket dumngeg kadatayo. Isuna a saan a makaam-ammo iti Dios ket saan a dumngeg kadatayo. Babaen iti daytoy nga ammotayo ti espiritu ti kinapudno ken ti espiritu ti biddut.
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Ay-ayatek, agiinnayattayo, ta ti ayat ket iti Dios, ken amin nga agay-ayat ket naipasngay iti Dios ken am-ammona ti Dios.
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
Ti tao a saan nga agayat ket saanna nga am-ammo ti Dios, ta ti Dios ket ayat.
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.
Iti daytoy, ti ayat ti Dios ket naiparangarang kadatayo, nga imbaon ti Dios ti bugbugtong nga anakna iti lubong tapno mabalintayo nga agbiag babaen kenkuana.
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.
Iti daytoy ket ti ayat, saan a gapu ta inayattayo ti Dios, ngem gapu ta inayatnatayo, ken imbaonna ti Anakna tapno agbalin a pakapnekan ti Dios a pakapakawanan dagiti basbasoltayo.
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
Ay-ayatek, no inay-ayatnatayo unay ti Dios, rebbengtayo met nga ayaten ti maysa ken maysa.
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.
Awan ti siasinoman a nakakita iti Dios. No ay-ayatentayo ti maysa ken maysa, agtalinaed ti Dios kadatayo, ken ti ayatna ket nagbalin a naan-anay kadatayo.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
Babaen iti daytoy, ammotayo nga agtalinaedtayo kenkuana ken isuna kadatayo, gapu ta intedna ti Espirituna kadatayo.
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Ket nakitatayo ken nagsaksitayo a ti Ama ket imbaonna ti Anakna tapno agbalin a Manangisalakan ti lubong.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
Siasinoman a mangbigbig a ni Jesus ket ti Anak ti Dios, agtaltalinaed kenkuana ti Dios, ken isuna iti Dios.
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.
Ket ammotayo ken namatitayo iti ayat ti Dios kadatayo. Ti Dios ket ayat, ket isuna nga agtaltalinaed iti ayat ket agtaltalinaed iti Dios, ken agtaltalinaed ti Dios kenkuana.
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.
Iti daytoy, nagbalin a naan-anay ti ayat kadatayo, tapno maaddaantayo koma iti kinatalged iti aldaw ti pannaka-ukom, gapu ta kas kenkuana, addatayo met iti daytoy a lubong.
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.
Awan panagbuteng iti ayat. Ngem ti naan-anay nga ayat ket paksiatenna ti buteng, gapu ta ti buteng ket mainaig iti pannakadusa. Ngem ti agbuteng ket saan a nagbalin a naan-anay iti ayat.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Agayattayo, gapu ta immuna nga inayatnatayo ti Dios.
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?
No adda agkuna nga, “Ay-ayatek ti Dios” ngem kagurana met ti kabsatna, isuna ket ulbod; ta isuna a saan a mangay-ayat iti kabsatna a nakitana, ket saanna a kabaelan nga ayaten ti Dios a saanna a nakita.
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Ken adda kadatayo daytoy a bilin manipud kenkuana: Siasinoman a mangay-ayat iti Dios ket masapul nga ayatenna met ti kabsatna.
