1 Yohana 5
1 Mundu jwalijose jwakukulupilila kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito Nkulupusyo, mundu jo ali mwana jwa Akunnungu. Ni mundu jwakwanonyela atati akunnonyela ni mwanagwe nombe.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God.
2 Yeleyi ni yatuimanyi kuti tukwanonyela ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, apala patukwanonyela Akunnungu ni kugakunda malajisyo gakwe.
In this way, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments.
3 Pakuŵa kwanonyela Akunnungu kuli kugajitichisya malajisyo gakwe. Ni malajisyo gakwe ngagakulimba,
For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.
4 pakuŵa jwali mwana jwa Akunnungu akukombola kuipunda indu ya pachilambo. Nowe tukukombola kuipunda indu ya pachilambo kwa chikulupi chetu.
For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.
5 Ana, nduni jwakukombola kuchipunda chigongomalo cha pachilambo? Ali jwejula pe jwakukulupilila kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God!
6 Che Yesu Kilisito ni juŵaiche kwa meesi katema paŵaliji nkubatiswa ni kwa miasi paŵawile. Nganaika kwa meesi pe nambo kwa meesi ni miasi. Nombe Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akuŵalanga umboni kuti ili isyene, pakuŵa Mbumu ali usyene.
This is the One who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is the One who testifies that the Christ is the Truth.
7 Pakuŵa apali ŵaumboni ŵatatu.
For there are Three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One.
8 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni meesi ni miasi, wose ŵatatu akuŵalanga umboni waukwilana.
And there are three who give testimony on earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three are one.
9 Twaukundaga umboni wa ŵandu, umboni wa Akunnungu uli wekulu nnope kupunda wa ŵandu, ni umboni wauŵalasile Akunnungu nkati Mwanagwe uli wausyene.
If we accept the testimony of men, then the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater: that he has testified about his Son.
10 Mundu jwakunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu akwete umboni wo mu ntima mwakwe. Jwangakunkulupilila Akunnungu, antesile Akunnungu ali jwa unami, pakuŵa nganaukulupilila umboni uŵauŵalasile Akunnungu nkati Mwanagwe.
Whoever believes in the Son of God, holds the testimony of God within himself. Whoever does not believe in the Son, makes him a liar, because he does not believe in the testimony which God has testified about his Son.
11 Umboni wene ni au, Akunnungu ŵatupele umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umi wo ukupatikana kwa Mwanagwe. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the testimony which God has given to us: Eternal Life. And this Life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Mundu jwalijose jwali Mwana jwa Akunnungu akwete umi wo, ni mundu jwangaŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu nganakola umi wo.
Whoever has the Son, has Life. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life.
13 Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe aga, kuti mmanyilile yakuti nkwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵanyamwe ŵankunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu. (aiōnios g166)
I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Ni tukwima pangali kuogopa paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa twaŵendaga chindu chachilichose mpela yakuti pakusaka akutupilikanila.
And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.
15 Iŵaga tukumanyilila kuti akutupilikanila patukwaŵenda chachilichose, iyoyopeyo tukuimanyilila kuti chitupochele chachilichose chitukwaŵenda.
And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.
16 Iŵaga mundu ammweni nlongo njakwe ali nkutenda sambi syasikwikanasyo chiwa, ampopelele kwa Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu champe umi. Nguŵecheta yeleyi nkati aŵala ŵatesile sambi syangasikwajausya ku chiwa. Nambo sipali sambi syasikwikanasyo chiwa, ni une ngangusala kuti ampopelele kwa Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya sambi syo.
Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin.
17 Ipanganyo yose yangaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu ili sambi, nambo sipali sambi sine syangasikunjausya mundu ku chiwa.
All that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto death.
18 Tukwimanyilila kuti kila jwali Mwana jwa Akunnungu ngakwendelechela kutenda sambi, pakuŵa Mwana jwa Akunnungu akungosa, ni ajula jwachigongomalo ngakupakombola kuntenda chachilichose.
We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin. Instead, rebirth in God preserves him, and the evil one cannot touch him.
19 Tukumanyilila kuti uweji tuli ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu namuno chilambo chose chikulongoswa ni Jwachigongomalo.
We know that we are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness.
20 Noweji tukumanyilila kuti Mwana jwa Akunnungu amasile kwika, nombejo atupele umanyilisi kuti twamanyilile Akunnungu ŵa usyene. Noweji tukutama nkulumbikana ni Akunnungu ŵali ŵa usyene kwa litala lya Mwana gwao Che Yesu Kilisito. Aŵa ali Akunnungu ŵa usyene ni awu uli umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God has arrived, and that he has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God, and so that we may remain in his true Son. This is the true God, and this is Eternal Life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Achiŵanangu nlilolechesye ni achiminungu jaunami.
Little sons, keep yourselves from false worship. Amen.
