1 John 5
1 Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.
Ko nga tangata katoa e whakapono ana ko Ihu te Karaiti, kua whanau i te Atua: ko nga tangata katoa ano hoki e aroha ana ki te papa, e aroha ana ano ki tana whanau.
2 Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
Ma konei tatou ka matau ai e aroha ana tatou ki nga tamariki a te Atua, ma te mea ka aroha tatou ki te Atua, ka pupuri ano i ana ture.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
Ko te aroha hoki tenei ki te Atua, kia pupuri tatou i ana ture: ehara hoki ana ture i te mea taimaha.
4 For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.
Ko nga mea katoa hoki kua whanau i te Atua e kaha ana i te ao: ko te wikitoria hoki tenei e taea ai te ao, ko to tatou whakapono.
5 Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Ko wai i kaha i te ao? ehara ianei i te tangata e whakapono ana ko Ihu te Tama a te Atua?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.
Ko ia tenei i haere mai nei i runga i te wai, i te toto, ko Ihu Karaiti; ehara i te mea i runga i te wai anake, engari i runga i te wai, i te toto. Ko te Wairua hoki te kaiwhakaatu, he pono hoki te Wairua.
7 For they that bear witness are three:
Tokotoru hoki nga kaiwhakaatu i te rangi, ko te Matua, ko te Kupu, ko te Wairua Tapu: kotahi ano enei tokotoru.
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.
Tokotoru hoki nga kaiwhakaatu, i te whenua, ko te Wairua, ko te wai, ko te toto: kotahi ano to ratou tokotoru.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.
Ki te whakaae atu tatou ki ta nga tangata whakaatu, he nui ke ta te Atua whakaatu: ko ta te Atua whakaatu hoki tenei, kua whakaaturia nei e ia mo tana Tama.
10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.
Ko te tangata e whakapono ana ki te Tama a te Atua, kei roto i a ia te whakaatu: ko te tangata kahore e whakapono ki te Atua, he whakateka tana ki a ia; no te mea kahore ia i whakapono ki te whakaatu i whakaaturia mai nei e te Atua mo tana Tama.
11 And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Ko te whakaatu hoki tenei, ara kua homai e te Atua ki a tatou te ora tonu; kei roto ano i tana Tama tenei ora. (aiōnios g166)
12 He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.
Ko te tangata kei a ia te Tama, kei a ia ano te ora; ko te tangata kahore nei i a ia te Tama a te Atua, kahore i a ia te ora.
13 These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
I tuhituhia atu ai e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, kia matau ai koutou kei a koutou te ora tonu, ara ki a koutou e whakapono nei ki te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua. (aiōnios g166)
14 And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.
Ko to tatou maia ano tenei ki a ia, na ki te inoia e tatou tetahi mea i a ia, tana i pai ai, ka whakarongo mai ia ki a tatou:
15 And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
Ki te mea hoki ka matau tatou e whakarongo ana ia ki ta tatou e inoi ai, ka matau tatou kei a tatou nga mea i inoia e tatou i a ia.
16 If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.
Ki te mea ka kite tetahi i tona teina e hara ana, haunga te hara e mate ai ia, me inoi ia, a e homai he ora ki a ia mo te hunga ehara nei to ratou i te hara e mate ai. Tera ano te hara e mate ai: e kore ahau e mea kia inoi ia mo tera.
17 Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.
He hara nga he katoa: tenei ano tetahi hara ehara nei i te mea e mate ai.
18 We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.
E matau ana tatou, na, ko te tangata kua whanau ai te Atua kahore e hara; engari ka tiaki te tangata kua whanau i te Atua i a ia ano, e kore hoki te wairua kino e pa ki a ia.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one].
E matau ana tatou no te Atua tatou, kei te takoto hoki te ao katoa i roto i te wairua kino.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Na e matau ana ano tatou kua tae mai te Tama a te Atua, kua homai e ia ki a tatou he matauranga, kia mohio ai tatou ki a ia, ki te mea pono; kei roto ano hoki tatou i a ia, i te mea pono, ara i tana Tama, i a Ihu Karaiti. Ko te Atua pono tenei, ko te ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)
21 Children, keep yourselves from idols.
E aku tamariki nonohi, kia tupato koutou ki nga whakapakoko. Amine.
