1 John 5
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of 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 In 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 charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
Nítorí èyí ni ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, pé kí àwa pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́: òfin rẹ̀ kò sì nira,
4 For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh 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 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 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 that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the 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 And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.
Nítorí pé àwọn mẹ́ta ni ó ń jẹ́rìí.
8 And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.
Ẹ̀mí, omi, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀: àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta sì wà ni ìṣọ̀kan.
9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of 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 that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of 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 hath given to us eternal life. 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 that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.
Ẹni tí ó bá ni Ọmọ, ó ni ìyè; ẹni tí kò bá sì ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, kò ní ìyè.
13 These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who 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 which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth 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 we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of 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 He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
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 iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.
Gbogbo àìṣòdodo ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan ń bẹ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
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 seated in wickedness.
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 is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. (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, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, ẹ pa ara yín mọ́ kúrò nínú òrìṣà.
