1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Meshikha is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born 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 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do 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. 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 whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome 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 who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yeshua 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 who came by water and blood, Yeshua Meshikha; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Rukha who testifies, because the Rukha 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 there are three who testify:
Tokotoru hoki nga kaiwhakaatu i te rangi, ko te Matua, ko te Kupu, ko te Wairua Tapu: kotahi ano enei tokotoru.
8 the Rukha, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as 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 accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified 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 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 given 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 The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting 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 who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the 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 I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life. (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 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to 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 listens to us, whatever 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 anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should make a request concerning this.
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 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
He hara nga he katoa: tenei ano tetahi hara ehara nei i te mea e mate ai.
18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil 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 power of the evil one.
E matau ana tatou no te Atua tatou, kei te takoto hoki te ao katoa i roto i te wairua kino.
20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Yeshua Meshikha. 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 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
E aku tamariki nonohi, kia tupato koutou ki nga whakapakoko. Amine.
