1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Mumwe nomumwe anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu, akaberekwa naMwari, uye mumwe nomumwe anoda baba anodawo mwana wavo.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.
Izvi ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti tinoda vana vaMwari: kana tichida Mwari uye tichiita mirayiro yake.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
Uku ndiko kuda Mwari: kuteerera mirayiro yake. Uye mirayiro yake hairemi,
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
nokuti vose vakaberekwa naMwari vanokunda nyika. Uku ndiko kukunda kwakakunda nyika, iko kutenda kwedu.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Ndianiko anokunda nyika? Ndiye chete anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.
6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because 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 For there are three who testify:
Nokuti kune zvitatu zvinopupura zvinoti:
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
Mweya, mvura, neropa; uye zvitatu izvi zvinotenderana.
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.
Tinogamuchira uchapupu hwavanhu, asi uchapupu hwaMwari hukuru nokuti ndihwo uchapupu hwaMwari, hwaakapa pamusoro poMwanakomana wake.
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.
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 testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Uye uku ndiko kupupura kuti: Mwari akatipa upenyu husingaperi, uye upenyu uhu huri muMwanakomana wake. (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.
Uyo ano Mwanakomana ano upenyu; uyo asina Mwanakomana waMwari haana upenyu.
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)
Ndanyora izvi kwamuri imi munotenda muzita roMwanakomana waMwari kuitira kuti muzive kuti mune upenyu husingaperi. (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.
Ndiko kusatya kwatinako mukuswedera kwedu kuna Mwari: kuti kana tichikumbira chinhu chipi nechipi nokuda kwake, anotinzwa.
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.
Uye kana tichiziva kuti anotinzwa pazvose zvatinokumbira, tinoziva kuti tava nazvo zvatakumbira kwaari.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and he 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.
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 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
Kuita chakaipa kwose chivi, uye pane chivi chisingaurayisi.
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.
Tinoziva kuti mumwe nomumwe akaberekwa naMwari haarambi achiita chivi; uyo akaberekwa naMwari anomuchengeta zvakanaka, uye akaipa haagoni kumukuvadza.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Tinoziva kuti tiri vana vaMwari, uye kuti nyika yose iri pasi powakaipa.
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 Jesus Christ. He is the true God and 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 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Vana vanodikanwa, ibvai pazvifananidzo.
