1 John 5
1 Whoever trusts that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the father also loves his child.
Mumwe nomumwe anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu, akaberekwa naMwari, uye mumwe nomumwe anoda baba anodawo mwana wavo.
2 How do we know that we love God's children? When we love God and follow his commands.
Izvi ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti tinoda vana vaMwari: kana tichida Mwari uye tichiita mirayiro yake.
3 Loving God means that we follow his commands, and his commands are not hard to bear.
Uku ndiko kuda Mwari: kuteerera mirayiro yake. Uye mirayiro yake hairemi,
4 Everyone who is born of God defeats the world. The way we gain victory and defeat the world is by trusting God.
nokuti vose vakaberekwa naMwari vanokunda nyika. Uku ndiko kukunda kwakakunda nyika, iko kutenda kwedu.
5 Who can defeat the world? Only those who trust in Jesus, believing he is the Son of God.
Ndianiko anokunda nyika? Ndiye chete anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.
6 He is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. He did not only come by water, but by water and blood. The Spirit gives evidence to confirm this, for the Spirit is the truth.
Uyu ndiye akauya nemvura neropa, Jesu Kristu. Haana kuuya nemvura bedzi, asi nemvura neropa. Uye Mweya ndiye anopupura, nokuti Mweya ndiye chokwadi.
7 So there are three that give evidence:
Nokuti kune zvitatu zvinopupura zvinoti:
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and all three agree as one.
Mweya, mvura, neropa; uye zvitatu izvi zvinotenderana.
9 If we accept the evidence that human witnesses provide, then the evidence that God provides is much more important. The evidence that God provides is his testimony about his Son.
Tinogamuchira uchapupu hwavanhu, asi uchapupu hwaMwari hukuru nokuti ndihwo uchapupu hwaMwari, hwaakapa pamusoro poMwanakomana wake.
10 Those trusting in the Son of God have accepted and hold on to this evidence. Those who don't trust God make God out to be a liar, because they don't believe the evidence God has given about his Son.
Munhu mumwe nomumwe anotenda muMwanakomana waMwari ano uchapupu uhu mumwoyo make. Munhu mumwe nomumwe asingatendi Mwari, akabva amuita murevi wenhema, nokuti haana kutenda kupupura kwaMwari kwaakaita pamusoro poMwanakomana wake.
11 The evidence is this: God has given eternal life to us, and we have this life through his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Uye uku ndiko kupupura kuti: Mwari akatipa upenyu husingaperi, uye upenyu uhu huri muMwanakomana wake. (aiōnios g166)
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever doesn't have the Son of God doesn't have life.
Uyo ano Mwanakomana ano upenyu; uyo asina Mwanakomana waMwari haana upenyu.
13 I'm writing to tell those of you who trust in the name of the Son of God so you can be certain you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ndanyora izvi kwamuri imi munotenda muzita roMwanakomana waMwari kuitira kuti muzive kuti mune upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
14 We can be confident that he will listen to us as long as we ask in accordance with his will.
Ndiko kusatya kwatinako mukuswedera kwedu kuna Mwari: kuti kana tichikumbira chinhu chipi nechipi nokuda kwake, anotinzwa.
15 If we know that he hears our requests, we can be sure that we will receive what we've asked him for.
Uye kana tichiziva kuti anotinzwa pazvose zvatinokumbira, tinoziva kuti tava nazvo zvatakumbira kwaari.
16 If you see your Christian brother or sister committing a sin that is not a deadly sin, you ought to pray and God will grant life to the one who's sinned. (But not for a deadly sin. There's a sin that is deadly, and I'm not saying people should pray about that.
Kana munhu akaona hama yake ichiita chivi chisingaurayisi, anofanira kunyengetera uye Mwari achamupa upenyu. Ndinoreva vaya vane chivi chisingaurayisi. Pane chivi chinourayisa. Handirevi kuti anyengetere pamusoro pacho.
17 Yes, all that is not right is sin, but there's sin that is not deadly.)
Kuita chakaipa kwose chivi, uye pane chivi chisingaurayisi.
18 We recognize that those who are born of God don't keep on sinning. The Son of God protects them and the devil cannot harm them.
Tinoziva kuti mumwe nomumwe akaberekwa naMwari haarambi achiita chivi; uyo akaberekwa naMwari anomuchengeta zvakanaka, uye akaipa haagoni kumukuvadza.
19 We know that we belong to God, and that the world is under the power of the evil one.
Tinoziva kuti tiri vana vaMwari, uye kuti nyika yose iri pasi powakaipa.
20 We also know that the Son of God has come, and has helped us to understand so we can recognize the one who is true. We live in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Tinozivawo kuti Mwanakomana waMwari akauya akatipa kunzwisisa, kuitira kuti timuzive iye wechokwadi. Uye tiri maari iye wechokwadi, kunyange muMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu. Ndiye Mwari wechokwadi noupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
21 Dear friends, stay away from idol worship.
Vana vanodikanwa, ibvai pazvifananidzo.
