1 John 5

1 Everyone who is believing that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God, and everyone who is loving Him who begot, also loves him who is begotten of Him.

Ame sia ame si xɔe se be Yesue nye Kristo la la, wodzii tso Mawu me, eye ame sia ame si lɔ̃a Fofo la la, lɔ̃a Via hã.

2 In this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God and may keep His commands;

Esiae nye ale si míenyana be míelɔ̃a Mawu Viwo: to Mawu lɔlɔ̃ kple eƒe seawo dzi wɔwɔ me.

3 for this is the love of God, that we may keep His commands, and His commands are not burdensome;

Esiae nye lɔlɔ̃ na Mawu: be woawɔ eƒe seawo dzi, elabena eƒe sewo mesesẽ o.

4 because everyone who is begotten of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcame the world—our faith.

Elabena ame si wodzi le Mawu me la ɖu xexea me dzi. Míaƒe xɔsee nye nu si ɖu xexea me dzi.

5 Who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

Ame kae nye ame si ɖu xexea me dzi? Ame si xɔe se be Yesue nye Mawu Vi la koe.

6 This One is He who came through water and blood—Jesus the Christ, not in water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit is the [One] testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

Yesu Kristoe nye ame si va to tsi kple ʋu me. Meva to tsi me ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ to tsi kple ʋu me. Eye Gbɔgbɔ lae le ɖase ɖim le nu sia ŋu, elabena Gbɔgbɔ lae nye nyateƒe la.

7 because [there] are three who are testifying [[in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one;

Ame etɔ̃e li, ame siwo le ɖase ɖim le dziƒo: Fofo la, Nya la kple Gbɔgbɔ kɔkɔe la, eye ame etɔ̃ siawo le ɖeka.

8 and [there] are three who are testifying in the earth]]: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.

Eye ame etɔ̃ siawo le ɖase ɖim le anyigba dzi, woawoe nye Gbɔgbɔ la, Tsi la kple Ʋu la, eye wo katã ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi le ɖeka.

9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He has testified concerning His Son.

Míexɔa amegbetɔwo ƒe ɖaseɖiɖiwo, ke Mawu ƒe ɖase si wòɖi le Via ŋu la de ŋgɔ sãa wu esiawo.

10 He who is believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son;

Eya ta ame sia ame si xɔa Mawu Vi la dzi sena la ɖia ɖase le eƒe dzi me. Eye ame si mexɔa Mawu dzi se o la, ewɔ Mawu aʋatsokalae, elabena mexɔ ɖase si Mawu ɖi le Via ŋu la dzi se o.

11 and this is the testimony, that God gave continuous life to us, and this life is in His Son; (aiōnios g166)

Ke ɖaseɖiɖi lae nye esi be Mawu na agbe mavɔ mí, eye agbe mavɔ sia le Via me. (aiōnios g166)

12 he who is having the Son has life; he who is not having the Son of God does not have life.

Ame si si Vi la le la agbe le esi, eye ame si si Mawu Vi la mele o la, agbe mele esi o.

13 I wrote these things to you who are believing in the Name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have continuous life, and that you may believe in the Name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

Mele nu siawo ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi ame siwo xɔ Mawu Vi la ƒe ŋkɔ dzi se la, ale be mianya be agbe mavɔ le mia si. (aiōnios g166)

14 And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if we may ask anything according to His will, He hears us,

Kakaɖedzi sia le mía si le tete ɖe Mawu ŋu me, be ne míebia nu si sɔ ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu dzi la, eɖoa to mí.

15 and if we have known that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

Eye ne míenyae be eɖoa to mí la, ekema nu sia nu si míebiae la, míenyae be míaƒe asi su edzi xoxo.

16 If anyone may see his brother sinning a sin [that is] not to death, he will ask, and He will give life to him—to those not sinning to death; there is sin to death—I do not say that he may ask concerning it;

Ne ame aɖe kpɔ be ye nɔvi wɔ nu vɔ̃ si ƒe fetu menye ku o la, nedo gbe ɖa, ale be Mawu naxɔe ɖe agbe. Mele esia gblɔm ku ɖe ame siwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ mehea ku vanɛ o la ŋuti. Nu vɔ̃ aɖe li si hea ame yia ku me, menye nu vɔ̃ sia tɔgbe ƒe nya gblɔm mele o.

17 all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin [that is] not to death.

Nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi nye nu vɔ̃, gake nu vɔ̃ aɖewo li siwo mehea ame yia ku mee o.

18 We have known that everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, but He who was begotten of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him;

Minyae kɔtɛe be ne wodzi ame aɖe tso Mawu me la, meganɔa nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi atraɖii o; Mawu Vi la ŋutɔ kpɔa eta be wònɔna dedie, eye Vɔ̃ɖitɔ la metea ŋu kaa asi eŋu o.

19 we have known that we are of God, and the whole world lies [under the power] of the evil [one];

Míenyae be Mawu viwoe míenye, eye be xexea me blibo la le vɔ̃ɖitɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ te.

20 but we have known that the Son of God has come, and has given us a mind that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this One is the true God and the continuous Life! (aiōnios g166)

Míenyae hã be Mawu Vi la va, eye wòna nugɔmesese mí, ale be míanye eya ame si nye nyateƒea. Míele nyateƒea si nye Via Yesu Kristo la me. Eyae nye nyateƒe Mawu kple agbe mavɔ la. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols! Amen.

Vinye lɔlɔ̃awo, miɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa le legbawo gbɔ.
