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.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.
2 Yeleyi ni yatuimanyi kuti tukwanonyela ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, apala patukwanonyela Akunnungu ni kugakunda malajisyo gakwe.
This is how we know that we sincerely love the children of God: by sincerely loving God and keeping His commandments.
3 Pakuŵa kwanonyela Akunnungu kuli kugajitichisya malajisyo gakwe. Ni malajisyo gakwe ngagakulimba,
For this is God’s sincere love, that we keep His commandments. His commandments aren’t burdensome,
4 pakuŵa jwali mwana jwa Akunnungu akukombola kuipunda indu ya pachilambo. Nowe tukukombola kuipunda indu ya pachilambo kwa chikulupi chetu.
for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome 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 the one who overcomes the world, but one who believes that Jesus is God’s Son?
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 He who came by water and blood - Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood.
7 Pakuŵa apali ŵaumboni ŵatatu.
It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that testify,
8 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni meesi ni miasi, wose ŵatatu akuŵalanga umboni waukwilana.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are in agreement as 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 receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; because this is God’s testimony which 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.
One who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself. One who doesn’t believe God has accused Him of being a liar, because he hasn’t believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.
11 Umboni wene ni au, Akunnungu ŵatupele umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ni umi wo ukupatikana kwa Mwanagwe. (aiōnios g166)
This is the witness, that God has given 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 doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have life.
13 Ngunlembela ŵanyamwe aga, kuti mmanyilile yakuti nkwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵanyamwe ŵankunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu. (aiōnios g166)
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
14 Ni tukwima pangali kuogopa paujo pa Akunnungu, pakuŵa twaŵendaga chindu chachilichose mpela yakuti pakusaka akutupilikanila.
This is the confidence that we have in Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 Iŵaga tukumanyilila kuti akutupilikanila patukwaŵenda chachilichose, iyoyopeyo tukuimanyilila kuti chitupochele chachilichose chitukwaŵenda.
If we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests which we have asked from 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.
If you see your brother or sister committing a sin not leading to death, you should ask, and God will, for you, give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a kind of sin leading to death. I don’t say that you should make requests for this.
17 Ipanganyo yose yangaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu ili sambi, nambo sipali sambi sine syangasikunjausya mundu ku chiwa.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a kind of sin that doesn’t lead to 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 anyone who is born of God doesn’t keep sinning, but He who was born of God keeps him. The wicked one doesn’t harm or even touch him.
19 Tukumanyilila kuti uweji tuli ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu namuno chilambo chose chikulongoswa ni Jwachigongomalo.
We know that we belong to God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
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)
We know that God’s Son has come, and has given us understanding, so that we might know Him who is true. We are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Achiŵanangu nlilolechesye ni achiminungu jaunami.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
