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.

प्रिय हो, हरेक आत्मालाई विश्‍वास नगर, तर ती आत्माहरू परमेश्‍वरबाट आएका हुन् वा होइनन् भनी जाँच गर, किनभने धेरै झुटा अगमवक्‍ताहरू संसारमा आइसकेका छन् ।

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

यसैद्वारा तिमीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको आत्मालाई चिन्‍नेछौः येशू ख्रीष्‍ट शरीरमा आउनुभयो भनी स्वीकार गर्ने हरेक आत्मा परमेश्‍वरको हो ।

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.

अनि येशूलाई स्वीकार नगर्ने हरेक आत्मा परमेश्‍वरको होइन । यो ख्रीष्‍ट विरोधी आत्मा हो, जुन तिमीहरूले संसारमा आउँदै छ भनी सुनेका छौ, र त्यो संसारमा अगिदेखि नै छ ।

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.

मेरा प्रिय बालकहरू हो, तिमीहरू परमेश्‍वरका हौ, र तिमीहरूले ती आत्माहरूलाई जितेका छौ, किनभने तिमीहरूमा जो हुनुहुन्छ उहाँ संसारमा हुनेभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ ।

5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

ती आत्माहरू संसारका हुन्, यसकारण, तिनीहरूले भनेका कुराहरू संसारकै हुन्, र संसारले तिनीहरूको कुरा सुन्छ ।

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.

हामी परमेश्‍वरका हौँ । जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई चिन्छ, त्यसले हाम्रो कुरा सुन्छ । जो परमेश्‍वरका होइनन्, त्यसले हाम्रो कुरा सुन्दैन । यसैद्वारा हामी सत्यको आत्मा र झुटको आत्मालाई चिन्छौँ ।

7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

प्रिय हो, एक अर्कालाई प्रेम गरौँ, किनकि प्रेम परमेश्‍वरको हो, र हरेक जसले प्रेम गर्छ, त्यो परमेश्‍वरबाट जन्मेको हो र त्यसले परमेश्‍वरलाई चिन्छ ।

8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

जसले प्रेम गर्दैन, त्यसले परमेश्‍वरलाई चिन्दैन, किनभने परमेश्‍वर प्रेम हुनुहुन्छ ।

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.

यसैमा परमेश्‍वरको प्रेम हामीहरूमाझ प्रकट भएको छ, कि जसद्वारा हामी जिउन सकौँ भनेर परमेश्‍वरले संसारमा उहाँका एक मात्र पुत्र पठाउनुभएको छ ।

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.

यसैमा उहाँको प्रेम छ, हामीले परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रेम गरेकाले होइन, तर उहाँले हामीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएको छ, अनि हाम्रा पापहरूका लागि प्रायश्‍चित्त हुन उहाँका पुत्र पठाउनुभयो ।

11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

प्रिय हो, परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई यति धेरै प्रेम गर्नुभयो भने हामीले पनि एक अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।

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.

परमेश्‍वरलाई कसैले कहिल्यै देखेको छैन । यदि हामी एक अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्छौं भने परमेश्‍वर हामीमा रहनुहुन्छ, र उहाँको प्रेम हामीमा सिद्ध भएको हुन्छ ।

13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

यसैद्वारा हामी जान्दछौँ, कि हामी उहाँमा रहन्छौँ र उहाँ हामीमा रहनुहुन्छ, किनभने उहाँले हामीलाई उहाँका आत्मा दिनुभएको छ ।

14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

अनि हामीले देखेका छौँ र गवाही दिएका छौँ, कि पिताले संसारको मुक्‍तिदाता हुन पुत्रलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।

15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

जसले येशू परमेश्‍वरको पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भनी स्वीकार गर्छ, परमेश्‍वर त्यसमा रहनुहुन्छ र त्यो परमेश्‍वरमा रहन्छ ।

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.

अनि हामीप्रति परमेश्‍वरले गर्नुभएको प्रेमलाई हामीले जानेका छौँ र विश्‍वास गरेका छौँ । परमेश्‍वर प्रेम हुनुहुन्छ र जो प्रेममा रहन्छ, त्यो परमेश्‍वरमा रहन्छ, र परमेश्‍वर त्यसमा रहनुहुन्छ ।

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.

न्यायको दिनमा हामीमा दृढता होस् भनेर यसैमा प्रेम हामीमाझ सिद्ध बनाइएको छ, किनभने उहाँ जस्तो हुनुहुन्छ, हामी यस संसारमा त्यस्तै छौँ ।

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.

प्रेममा कुनै डर हुँदैन । तर सिद्ध प्रेमले डरलाई हटाउँछ, किनभने डरले दण्डसँग सरोकार राख्छ । तर जो डराउँछ, त्यो प्रेममा सिद्ध बनाइएको हुँदैन ।

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

हामी प्रेम गर्दछौँ, किनभने परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई पहिले प्रेम गर्नुभयो ।

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?

कसैले “म परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रेम गर्छु” भन्छ तर आफ्नो भाइलाई घृणा गर्छ भने, त्यो झुटो हो, किनकि त्यसले देखेको आफ्नो भाइलाई प्रेम गर्दैन भने त्यसले नदेखेको परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रेम गर्न सक्दैन ।

21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

अनि उहाँबाटको यो आज्ञा हामीसँग छ, कि जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रेम गर्छ, त्यसले आफ्नो भाइलाई पनि प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ ।
