¹Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi'! Neo' ncaliu nipangala' hawe'ea tauna to mpo'uli' ria Inoha' Alata'ala hi hira'. Petonoi ulu, ba mpu'u-mpu'u-ra ngkai Alata'ala ba uma-di. Apa' wori' nabi boa' modao' hiapa-apa.

¹Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

²Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca hema to nakuasai Inoha' Alata'ala: hawe'ea tauna to mpangaku' Yesus Kahi'a-na Magau' Topetolo' to mewali manusia', tauna toe-ramo to napo'ana' Alata'ala.

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

³Hawe'ea tauna to uma mpangaku' Kayesus-na Magau' Topetolo' toe, uma-ra napo'ana' Alata'ala. Tauna toera nakuasai noto to ngkai Bali' Kristus. Ni'epe moto tudui' to mpo'uli' karata-na mpai' Bali' Kristus, pai' tempo toi mpolia' ria-imi hi rala dunia'.

³and 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.

⁴Aga koi' ana' -ku, napo'ana' Alata'ala-mokoi, pai' nidagi-ramo nabi to boa' toera, apa' Noto to ria hi rala nono-ni meliu kabaraka' -na ngkai noto to hi rala nono-ra to uma mepangala' hi Pue'.

⁴You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

⁵Nabi to boa' toera, ngkai dunia' to dada'a toi-ra. Toe pai' tudui' -ra mehupa' ngkai dunia' to dada'a toi, pai' tauna to uma mepangala' hi Pue' mpo'epe pai' mpotarima tudui' -ra.

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

⁶Aga kita' ompi', napo'ana' Alata'ala-tamo. Tauna to mpo'inca Alata'ala mpo'epe pai' mpotarima tudui' -ta. Tauna to uma napo'ana' Alata'ala uma mpotarima tudui' -ta. Toe-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca hema to nakuasai Noto to makono pai' hema to nakuasai noto to mebagiu.

⁶We 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.

⁷Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi'! Momepoka'ahi' -tamo hadua bo hadua, apa' ahi' mehuwu ngkai Alata'ala. Hawe'ea tauna to mpoka'ahi' doo-ra, hira' -mi to napo'ana' Alata'ala pai' to mpo'inca Alata'ala.

⁷Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

⁸Tauna to uma mpoka'ahi' doo-ra, ko'ia-ra mpo'incai Alata'ala, apa' Alata'ala-hana, ma'ahi' -i.

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

⁹Hewa toi-mi Alata'ala mpopehuwu ahi' -na hi kita': Ana' -na to Hadudua nahubui tumai hi dunia', bona kita' mporata katuwua' ngkai Ana' -na toei.

⁹By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰Toi-mi to ra'uli' ahi'. Bela kita' to ri'ulu mpoka'ahi' Alata'ala. Alata'ala-hana to ri'ulu mpoka'ahi' -ta, duu' -na mpohubui-mi Ana' -na tumai jadi' tolo' woto-ta bona jeko' -ta ra'ampungi.

¹⁰In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice “atoning sacrifice” is from the Greek “hilasmos,” an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation—the sacrifice that turns away God’s wrath because of our sin. for our sins.

¹¹Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi'! Apa' wae-mi kabohe ahi' Alata'ala hi kita' -e, toe pai' kana momepoka'ahi' wo'o-ta-tawo hadua bo hadua.

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

¹²Ko'ia ria haduaa to mpohilo-i Alata'ala. Aga nau' wae, ane momepoka'ahi' -tamo hadua bo hadua, Alata'ala tida hintuwu' hante kita', pai' incana mpu'u hi pokehii-ta katapoka'ahi' -na Alata'ala.

¹²No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

¹³Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca katida-ta hintuwu' hante Alata'ala, pai' Alata'ala hante kita': apa' nawai' -tamo Inoha' -na to moroli'.

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

¹⁴Kai', kihilo-imi-kaina Ana' Alata'ala, pai' kisabii' Kahi'a-na to nahubui Alata'ala to Tuama tumai jadi' Magau' Tompohore hawe'ea manusia' ngkai huku' jeko' -ra.

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

¹⁵Hema to mpangaku' Kayesus-na Ana' Alata'ala, Alata'ala tida hintuwu' hante hira', pai' hira' hante Alata'ala.

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

¹⁶Toe pai' ta'inca-mi pai' tapangala' -mi kanapoka'ahi' -ta Alata'ala.

¹⁶We 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.

¹⁷Ane mpoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta, toi-mi pompetonoi-na katapoka'ahi' -na mpu'u-i Alata'ala, alaa-na daho' -ta mponyanyo-i hi Eo Kiama. Daho' -ta mponyanyo-i, apa' kehi-ta hi rala dunia' toi hewa kehi-na Kristus.

¹⁷In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

¹⁸Ane ta'inca mpu'u ahi' Alata'ala hi kita', uma-tapa me'eka' hi Alata'ala. Ahi' -na to gana toe mporohoi nono-ta, pai' uma-tapa me'eka'. Ane tapoka'eka' pehuku' -na Alata'ala, batua-na, ko'ia ta'incai mpu'u ahi' -na hi kita'.

¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

¹⁹Kita' ma'ahi', apa' Alata'ala-mi to ri'ulu mpoka'ahi' -ta.

¹⁹We love him, because he first loved us.

²⁰Tauna to mpo'uli': "Kupoka'ahi' -i Alata'ala," pai' -i mpokahuku' moto ompi' -na, boa' -i-tawo'. Apa' ane uma-i mpoka'ahi' ompi' -na to nahilo, peliu-liu-nami Alata'ala to uma nahiloi.

²⁰If 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?

²¹Jadi', toi-mi hawa' Kristus hi kita': hema to mpoka'ahi' Alata'ala, kana mpoka'ahi' ompi' -ra wo'o.

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