1 John 5
1 Every man who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and every man who loves him who begot, also loves him who has been begotten from him.
Olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó bá gbàgbọ́ pé Jesu ni Kristi, a bí i nípa ti Ọlọ́run: àti olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn. Ẹni tí ó bi nì, ó fẹ́ràn ẹni tí a bí nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
Nípa èyí ni àwa mọ̀ pé àwa fẹ́ràn àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run, nígbà tí a bá fẹ́ràn Ọlọ́run, tí a sì ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́.
3 For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
Nítorí èyí ni ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, pé kí àwa pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́: òfin rẹ̀ kò sì nira,
4 Because everything that has been begotten from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
nítorí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí a bí nípa tí Ọlọ́run, ó ṣẹ́gun ayé. Èyí sì ni ìṣẹ́gun tí ó ṣẹ́gun ayé, àní ìgbàgbọ́ wa.
5 And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Ta ni ẹni tí ó ṣẹ́gun ayé, bí kò ṣe ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́ pé Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni Jesu jẹ́?
6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.
Èyí ni ẹni tí ó wá nípa omi àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, Jesu Kristi, kì í ṣe nípa omi nìkan, bí kò ṣe nípa omi àti ẹ̀jẹ̀. Àti pé Ẹ̀mí ni ó sì ń jẹ́rìí, nítorí pé òtítọ́ ni Ẹ̀mí.
7 Because those who testify are three:
Nítorí pé àwọn mẹ́ta ni ó ń jẹ́rìí.
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in one.
Ẹ̀mí, omi, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀: àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta sì wà ni ìṣọ̀kan.
9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son.
Bí àwa ba ń gba ẹ̀rí ènìyàn, ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run tóbi jù: nítorí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ni èyí pé, Ó tí jẹ́rìí ní ti Ọmọ rẹ̀.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son.
Ẹni tí ó bá gba Ọmọ Ọlọ́run gbọ́, ó ni ẹ̀rí nínú ara rẹ̀; ẹni tí kò bá gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, ó ti mú un ni èké; nítorí kò gba ẹ̀rí náà gbọ́ tí Ọlọ́run jẹ́ ní ti Ọmọ rẹ̀.
11 And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Ẹ̀rí náà sì ni èyí pé Ọlọ́run fún wa ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, ìyè yìí sì ń bẹ nínú Ọmọ rẹ̀. (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
Ẹni tí ó bá ni Ọmọ, ó ni ìyè; ẹni tí kò bá sì ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, kò ní ìyè.
13 I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo kọ̀wé rẹ̀ sí yín, àní sí ẹ̀yin tí ó gba orúkọ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run gbọ́; kí ẹ̀yin lè mọ̀ pé ẹ̀yin ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, àní fún ẹ̀yin tí ó gba orúkọ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run gbọ́. (aiōnios g166)
14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
Èyí sì ni ìgboyà tí àwa ní níwájú rẹ̀, pé bí àwa bá béèrè ohunkóhun gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, ó ń gbọ́ tí wa.
15 And if we know that he hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
Bí àwa bá sì mọ̀ pé ó ń gbọ́ tí wa, ohunkóhun tí àwa bá béèrè, àwa mọ̀ pé àwa rí ìbéèrè tí àwa ti béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbà.
16 If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá rí arákùnrin rẹ̀ tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú, òun yóò béèrè, Ọlọ́run yóò sì fún un ni ìyè, àní, fún àwọn tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan ń bẹ sì ikú, èmi kò wí pé ki òun gbàdúrà fún èyí.
17 All unrighteousness is sin. And there is sin not toward death.
Gbogbo àìṣòdodo ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan ń bẹ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú.
18 We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.
Àwa mọ̀ pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí a bí nípa ti Ọlọ́run kì í dẹ́ṣẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí a bí nípa tí Ọlọ́run a pa ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ẹni búburú kò ní lè fọwọ́ kàn án.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is set in the evil.
Àwa mọ̀ pé tí Ọlọ́run ni wá, àti gbogbo ayé ni ó wà lábẹ́ agbára ẹni búburú náà.
20 And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Àwa sì mọ̀ pé Ọmọ Ọlọ́run dé, ó sì tí fi òye fún wa, kí àwa lè mọ ẹni tí í ṣe òtítọ́, àwa sì ń bẹ nínú ẹni tí í ṣe òtítọ́, àní, nínú Ọmọ rẹ̀, Jesu Kristi. Èyí ni Ọlọ́run òtítọ́, àti ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, guard yourselves from the idols. Truly.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, ẹ pa ara yín mọ́ kúrò nínú òrìṣà.
