1ʻE Kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa tui ki he laumālie kotoa pē, kae ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ngaahi laumālie, pe ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakinautolu: koeʻuhi kuo tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita loi kuo ʻalu atu ki māmani.
1Wapenzi wangu, msimsadiki kila mtu asemaye kwamba ana Roho wa Mungu, bali chunguzeni kwa makini kama huyo mtu anaongozwa na Roho wa Mungu au la, Maana manabii wengi wa uongo wamezuka ulimwenguni.
2Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku mou ʻilo ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua: Ko e laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ia:
2Hii ndiyo njia ya kujua kama mtu anaongozwa na Roho wa Mungu: Kila anayekiri kwamba Kristo alikuja, akawa binadamu, mtu huyo anaye Roho wa Mungu.
3Pea ko e laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai fakahā kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe ʻOtua ia: pea ko eni ia ʻae Fili ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo mou fanongo ki ai ʻe haʻu; pea ʻoku lolotonga ni ʻene ʻi māmani.
3Lakini mtu yeyote asiyemkiri Kristo hivyo, hana huyo Roho atokaye kwa Mungu. Mtu huyo ana roho ambaye ni wa Adui wa Kristo; nanyi mlikwisha sikia kwamba anakuja, na sasa tayari amekwisha wasili ulimwenguni!
4ʻE fānau ʻofeina, kuo ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea kuo mou ikuna ʻakinautolu: he koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi ia kiate ia ʻoku ʻi māmani.
4Lakini ninyi, watoto, ni wake Mungu na mmekwisha washinda hao manabii wa uongo; maana Roho aliye ndani yenu ana nguvu zaidi kuliko roho aliye ndani ya hao walio wa ulimwengu.
5ʻOku ʻoe māmani ʻakinautolu: ko ia ʻoku nau lea ai ki māmani, pea fanongo ʻa māmani kiate kinautolu.
5Wao husema mambo ya ulimwengu, nao ulimwengu huwasikiliza kwani wao ni wa ulimwengu.
6ʻOku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimautolu: ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻe fanongo ia kiate kimautolu; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ia kiate kimautolu. Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe moʻoni, mo e laumālie ʻoe hē.
6Lakini sisi ni wake Mungu. Mtu anayemjua Mungu hutusikiliza, mtu asiye wa Mungu hatusikilizi. Basi, kwa njia hiyo tunaweza kutambua tofauti kati ya Roho wa ukweli na roho wa uongo.
7ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, ke tau feʻofaʻaki kiate kitautolu: he ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ʻofa; pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa, kuo fanauʻi ia ʻi he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua.
7Wapenzi wangu, tupendane, maana upendo hutoka kwa Mungu. Kila mtu aliye na upendo ni mtoto wa Mungu, na anamjua Mungu.
8Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe ia ʻae ʻOtua; he ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻofa.
8Mtu asiye na upendo hamjui Mungu, maana Mungu ni upendo.
9Ko eni ia naʻe fakahā ai ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu ki he māmani, koeʻuhi ketau moʻui ʻiate ia.
9Na Mungu alionyesha upendo wake kwetu kwa kumtuma Mwanae wa pekee ulimwenguni, ili tuwe na uzima kwa njia yake.
10Ko eni ʻae ʻofa, naʻe ʻikai ko ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ko ʻene ʻofa kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne fekau hono ʻAlo ko e feilaulau totongi ʻi heʻetau angahala.
10Hivi ndivyo upendo ulivyo: si kwamba sisi tulikuwa tumempenda Mungu kwanza, bali kwamba yeye alitupenda hata akamtuma Mwanae awe sadaka ya kutuondolea dhambi zetu.
11ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, kapau naʻe pehē ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ʻoku totonu foki ʻetau feʻofaʻaki.
11Wapenzi wangu, ikiwa Mungu alitupenda hivyo, basi, nasi tunapaswa kupendana.
12Kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻe mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga. Kapau ʻoku tau feʻofaʻaki, ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea kuo fakahaohaoaʻi ʻene ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu.
12Hakuna mtu aliyekwisha mwona Mungu kamwe; lakini kama tukipendana Mungu anaishi katika muungano nasi, na upendo wake unakamilika ndani yetu.
13Ko eni ʻae meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau nofo ʻiate ia, pea mo ia ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi kuo ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻa hono Laumālie.
13Tunajua kwamba tunaishi katika umoja na Mungu, naye Mungu anaishi katika umoja nasi, kwani yeye ametupa Roho wake.
14Pea kuo mau mamata, mo fakahā, kuo fekau ʻe he Tamai ʻae ʻAlo ko e Fakamoʻui ki he māmani.
14Sisi tumeona na kuwaambia wengine kwamba Baba alimtuma Mwanae awe Mwokozi wa ulimwengu.
15Ko ia ia te ne fakahā ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Sisu, ʻoku nofo ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia, pea mo ia ʻi he ʻOtua.
15Kila mtu anayekiri kwamba Yesu ni Mwana wa Mungu, Mungu anaishi katika muungano na mtu huyo, naye anaishi katika muungano na Mungu.
16Pea kuo tau ʻiloʻi mo tui ki he ʻofa kuo ʻi he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu. Ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻofa; pea ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻofa, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he ʻOtua, mo e ʻOtua ʻiate ia.
16Basi, sisi tunajua na tunaamini upendo alio nao Mungu kwetu sisi. Mungu ni upendo, na kila mtu aishiye katika upendo, anaishi katika muungano na Mungu, na Mungu anaishi katika muungano naye.
17ʻI he meʻa ni ʻoku fakahaohaoa ʻae ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tau loto mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakamaau: koeʻuhi ʻoku tau hangē ko ia ʻi he māmani.
17Upendo umekamilika ndani yetu kusudi tuweze kuwa na ujasiri Siku ile ya Hukumu; kwani maisha yetu hapa duniani ni kama yale ya Kristo.
18ʻOku ʻikai ha manavahē ʻi he ʻofa; ka ʻoku tekeʻi atu ʻae manavahē ʻe he ʻofa haohaoa: he ʻoku ʻi he manavahē ʻae mamahi. Ko ia ia ʻoku manavahē, ʻoku teʻeki ke fakahaohaoa ia ʻi he ʻofa.
18Palipo na upendo hapana uoga; naam, upendo kamili hufukuza uoga wote. Basi, mtu mwenye uoga hajakamilika bado katika upendo, kwani uoga huhusikana na adhabu.
19ʻOku tau ʻofa kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tomuʻa ʻofa mai kiate kitautolu.
19Sisi tuna upendo kwa sababu Mungu alitupenda kwanza.
20Kapau ʻe pehē ʻe ha taha, ʻOku ou ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ko e loi ia: he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ki hono tokoua kuo ne mamata ki ai, ʻe fēfē ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻOtua naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki ai?
20Mtu akisema kwamba anampenda Mungu, hali anamchukia ndugu yake, huyo ni mwongo. Maana mtu asiyempenda ndugu yake ambaye anamwona, hawezi kumpenda Mungu ambaye hamwoni.
21Pea ko e fekau ni ʻoku tau maʻu meiate ia, Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ke ʻofa foki ia ki hono tokoua.
21Basi, hii ndiyo amri aliyotupa Kristo: Anayempenda Mungu anapaswa pia kumpenda ndugu yake.
