¹Maiteác, spiritu gucia ezteçaçuela sinhets, baina phorogaitzaçue spirituac eya Iaincoaganic diradenez: ecen anhitz propheta falsu ethorri içan dirade mundura.

¹Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

²Hunetan eçagut eçaçue Iaincoaren Spiritua. Iesus Christ haraguitara ethorri dela confessatzen duen spiritu gucia, Iaincoaganic da.

²in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,

³Eta cein-ere spirituc ezpaitu confessatzen Iesus Christ haraguitara ethorri içan dela hura ezta Iaincoaganic: eta halaco spiritua Antechristena da, ceinez minçatzen ençun vkan baituçue, ecen ethorteco dela, eta ia orain munduan da.

³and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

⁴Haourtoác, çuec Iaincoaganic çarete, eta garaithu çaizte hæy: ecen handiago da çuetan dena, ecen ez munduan dena.

⁴Ye — of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.

⁵Hec mundutic dirade, halacotz munduaz minço dirade, eta mundua hæy behatzen çaye.

⁵They — of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;

⁶Gu Iaincoaganic gara: Iaincoa eçagutzen duena, guri behatzen çaicu: Iaincoaganic eztena guri etzaicu behatzen: hunetan eçagutzen dugu eguiazco Spiritua, eta errorezco spiritua.

⁶we — of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

⁷Maiteác, elkarri on eritzi dieçogun: ecen charitatea Iaincoaganic da: eta norc-ere onhesten baitu, hura Iaincoagaoic iayo da, eta eçagutzen du Iaincoa.

⁷Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

⁸Onhesten eztuenac, eztu eçagutzen Iaincoa: ecen Iaincoa charitate da.

⁸he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

⁹Hunetan manifestatu içan da Iaincoaren gureganaco charitatea, ceren bere Seme bakoitza igorri vkan baitu Iaincoac mundura, harçaz vici garençát.

⁹In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son — the only begotten — hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

¹⁰Hunetan da charitatea, ez ceren guc onhetsi dugun Iaincoa, baina ceren harc onhetsi baiquaitu gu, eta igorri vkan baitu bere Semea gure bekatuacgatic appoinctamendu licençát.

¹⁰in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹¹Maiteac, baldin hunela Iaincoac onhetsi baiquaitu, guc-ere behar dugu elkar onhetsi.

¹¹Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

¹²Iaincoa eztu nehorc ikussi egundano: baldin elkar maite badugu Iaincoa gutan dago, eta haren charitatea complitu da gutan.

¹²God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

¹³Hunetan eçagutzen dugu ecen hartan egoiten garela, eta hura gutan, ceren bere Spiritutic eman baitraucu.

¹³in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

¹⁴Eta guc ikussi vkan dugu, eta testificatzen dugu ecen Aitác igorri vkan duela Semea munduaren Saluadore içateco.

¹⁴And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;

¹⁵Norc-ere confessaturen baitu ecen Iesus dela Iaincoaren Semea, Iaincoa hura baithan dago, eta hura Iaincoa baithan.

¹⁵whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;

¹⁶Eta guc eçagutu eta sinhetsi dugu Iaincoac guregana duen charitatea. Iaincoa charitate da: eta charitatean egoiten dena, Iainco baithan egoiten da, eta Iaincoa hura baithan.

¹⁶and we — we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

¹⁷Huneçaz complitu içan da charitatea guregana, iudicioco egunean segurança dugunçát, ceren hura den beçalaco baicara gu-ere mundu hunetan.

¹⁷In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we — we also are in this world;

¹⁸Beldurric ezta charitatean: aitzitic charitate perfectoac campora egoizten du beldurra: ecen beldurrac tormenta du: eta beldur dena ezta complitua charitatean.

¹⁸fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

¹⁹Guc hari on daritzagu, ceren harc lehenic onhetsi baiquaitu gu.

¹⁹we — we love him, because He — He first loved us;

²⁰Baldin nehorc erran badeça, Maite dut Iaincoa: eta bere anayeari gaitz badaritza: gueçurti da: ecen bere anaye dacussana maite eztuenac, ikusten eztuen Iaincoa nola maite ahal duque?

²⁰if any one may say — `I love God,` and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God — whom he hath not seen — how is he able to love?

²¹Eta manamendu haur dugu harenganic, Iaincoa maite duenac, maite duen bere anayea-ere.

²¹and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
