1 John 5
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves a parent loves his child.
Mũndũ o wothe wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ aciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai, nake mũndũ o wothe wendete mũciari nĩendete o na mwana wake.
2 By this we know that we love God’s children – when we love God and carry out his commands.
Ũũ nĩguo tũmenyaga atĩ nĩtwendete ciana cia Ngai: nĩ kwenda Ngai na kũhingia maathani make.
3 For to love God is to do what he commands and his commands are not a burden,
Ũũ nĩguo kwenda Ngai: nĩ gwathĩkĩra maathani make. Namo maathani make ti maritũ,
4 for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. What is the victory by which the world is overcome? Our faith!
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe mũciare nĩ Ngai nĩatooragia maũndũ ma thĩ. Naguo ũhootani ũrĩa ũtooretie maũndũ ma thĩ, nĩ gwĩtĩkia gwitũ.
5 Who can overcome the world but the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Nũũ ũcio ũtooragia maũndũ ma thĩ? Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.
6 Jesus Christ, the one who came by water and blood – not by water only but by water and blood – and the Spirit testifies to this because the Spirit is truth.
We nĩwe wokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ na thakame, o Jesũ Kristũ. We ndokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ moiki, no nĩwe wokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ na thakame. Nake Roho nĩwe mũira, tondũ Roho nĩwe ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
7 Indeed three testify:
Nĩgũkorwo aira nĩ atatũ (kũu igũrũ: nao nĩ Ithe witũ, na Ũhoro, na Roho Mũtheru; nao aya atatũ nĩ ũmwe. Gũkũ thĩ nakuo aira nĩ atatũ):
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree.
nao nĩ Roho, na maaĩ, na thakame; nao acio atatũ nĩmaiguanĩte.
9 We accept human testimony, surely God’s testimony is even stronger! And God’s testimony is the testimony he has given about his Son.
Angĩkorwo nĩtwĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ, ũira wa Ngai nĩ mũnene makĩria, tondũ nĩ ũira wa Ngai ũrĩa aheanĩte ũkoniĩ Mũriũ.
10 The person who believes in the Son of God has that testimony within them. The person who does not believe God has made God a liar, by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
Mũndũ wothe wĩtĩkĩtie Mũrũ wa Ngai arĩ na ũira ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake. Mũndũ wothe ũtetĩkĩtie Ngai nĩamũtuĩte wa maheeni, tondũ ndetĩkĩtie ũira ũrĩa mũheane nĩ Ngai ũkoniĩ Mũriũ.
11 And this is that testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Naguo ũyũ nĩguo ũira atĩ Ngai nĩatũheete muoyo wa tene na tene, naguo muoyo ũcio wĩ thĩinĩ wa Mũriũ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
Ũrĩa ũrĩ na Mũriũ arĩ na muoyo; nake ũrĩa ũtarĩ na Mũrũ wa Ngai ndarĩ na muoyo.
13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ndĩramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya inyuĩ arĩa mwĩtĩkĩtie rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũrũ wa Ngai, nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ mũrĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
14 We can approach him with this confidence, that whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he listens to us.
Ũũmĩrĩru ũrĩa tũkoragwo naguo tũgĩkuhĩrĩria Ngai nĩ atĩ tũngĩhooya ũndũ o wothe kũringana na wendo wake-rĩ, we nĩatũiguaga.
15 And if we know he hears us – whatever we ask – we know also that what we ask for is ours.
Na tũngĩmenya atĩ nĩatũiguaga, ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũrĩa tũhooyaga-rĩ, nĩtũũĩ atĩ nĩatũheete ũndũ ũrĩa tũmũhooete.
16 If anyone sees one of our people committing some sin that is not a sin leading to death, they should ask, and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩona mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe agĩĩka rĩĩhia rĩrĩa rĩtangĩmũtwara gĩkuũ-inĩ, nĩahoe, nake Ngai nĩakamũhe muoyo. Ndĩraaria ũhoro wa andũ arĩa rĩĩhia rĩao rĩtarĩ rĩa kũmatwara gĩkuũ-inĩ. No nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩngĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ. Niĩ ndiroiga atĩ mũndũ ahooe nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia ta rĩu.
17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
Ciĩko ciothe njũru nĩ mehia, no nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩtangĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ.
18 We know that those who have been born of God do not keep sinning. God protects his children and the evil one cannot get hold of them.
Nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai ndatũũraga ehagia; mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai, ũcio nĩamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Ngai, nake ũrĩa mũũru ndangĩhota kũmwĩka ũũru.
19 We know that we are God’s children, though the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai, na tũkamenya atĩ thĩ yothe yathagwo na wathani wa ũrĩa mũũru.
20 We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God – and we are in him who is true, by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ningĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai nĩokĩte na nĩatũheete ũtaũku, nĩgeetha tũmũmenye ũrĩa arĩ we ũhoro wa ma. Na ithuĩ tũrĩ thĩinĩ wake ũcio ũrĩa arĩ we ũhoro wa ma, tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Mũrũwe Jesũ Kristũ. We nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa wa ma, na nowe muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
21 My children, guard yourselves against false ideas of God.
Twana twakwa nyendete, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ngai cia mĩhianano.
