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.
Obiara a ɔgye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Agyenkwa no yɛ Onyankopɔn ba. Na obiara a ɔdɔ Agya no dɔ ne mma no nso.
2 By this we know that we love God’s children – when we love God and carry out his commands.
Yei na ɛma yɛhunu sɛ yɛdɔ Onyankopɔn mma; sɛ yɛbɛdɔ Onyankopɔn na yɛadi nʼahyɛdeɛ so.
3 For to love God is to do what he commands and his commands are not a burden,
Ɔdɔ a yɛdɔ Onyankopɔn no kyerɛ di a yɛdi nʼahyɛdeɛ so. Na nʼahyɛdeɛ no nso sodie nyɛ den mma yɛn,
4 for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. What is the victory by which the world is overcome? Our faith!
ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ba biara di ewiase so nkonim. Yɛnam yɛn gyidie so di ewiase so nkonim.
5 Who can overcome the world but the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi adi ewiase so nkonim? Obi a ɔgye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no nko ara.
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.
Yesu Kristo yɛ obi a ɔnam nsuo ne mogya so baeɛ. Ɛnyɛ nsuo nko so na ɔnam baeɛ na mmom, nsuo ne mogya. Na ɛyɛ Honhom no na ɛdi ho adanseɛ ɛfiri sɛ, Honhom no ne nokorɛ no.
7 Indeed three testify:
Adansefoɔ baasa na wɔwɔ hɔ.
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree.
Honhom no, nsuo no ne mogya no. Saa adansefoɔ yi adwene hyia.
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.
Yɛgye adanseɛ a nnipa di no di; nanso adanseɛ a Onyankopɔn di no mu yɛ den yie. Na saa adanseɛ no na Onyankopɔn adi afa ne Ba no ho no.
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.
Enti, obi a ɔgye Onyankopɔn Ba no di no agye saa adanseɛ yi adi wɔ nʼakoma mu. Na obi a ɔnnye Onyankopɔn nni no ama Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔtorofoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wannye adanseɛ a Onyankopɔn di faa ne Ba no ho anni.
11 And this is that testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Yei ne adanseɛ no: Onyankopɔn ama yɛn nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ; na saa nkwa no wɔ ne Ba no mu. (aiōnios g166)
12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
Obiara a ɔwɔ Ɔba no wɔ saa nkwa no, na obiara a ɔnni Ɔba no nni nkwa no.
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)
Mo a mogye Onyankopɔn Ba no din di no, meretwerɛ mo yei sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma moahunu sɛ mowɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (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.
Na anidasoɔ a yɛwɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim ne sɛ, yɛnim sɛ biribiara a yɛbisa no wɔ ne pɛ mu no, ɔtie yɛn.
15 And if we know he hears us – whatever we ask – we know also that what we ask for is ours.
Ɛberɛ biara a yɛbisa no no, ɔtie yɛn. Yɛahunu sɛ yei yɛ nokorɛ yi, yɛnim nso sɛ ɔma yɛn deɛ yɛbisa no biara.
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.
Sɛ obi hunu sɛ ne nua ayɛ bɔne bi a ɛmfa no nkɔ owuo mu a, ɔmmɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛma no nkwa no mpaeɛ mma no. Yei fa wɔn a wɔn bɔne mfa wɔn nkɔ owuo mu no ho. Bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a ɛde onipa kɔ owuo mu na ɛno ho deɛ, menka sɛ mommɔ ho mpaeɛ nkyerɛ Onyankopɔn.
17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
Afideyɛ nyinaa yɛ bɔne, nanso bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a ɛnkɔwie owuo mu.
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.
Yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn ba biara nkɔ so nyɛ bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ba no bɔ wɔn ho ban, na ɔbonsam ntumi nyɛ wɔn bɔne.
19 We know that we are God’s children, though the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Yɛnim sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma, na ewiasefoɔ deɛ wɔhyɛ ɔbonsam tumi ase.
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)
Yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no aba, na wama yɛahunu nokorɛ Onyankopɔn no. Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn nokwafoɔ a ɔma daa nkwa no. (aiōnios g166)
21 My children, guard yourselves against false ideas of God.
Me mma, montwe mo ho mfiri abosom ho.
