1 John 5
1 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.
Buli akkiriza nti Yesu ye Kristo, oyo aba mwana wa Katonda, era buli ayagala kitaawe w’omwana ayagala n’omwana we.
2 The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.
Ku ekyo kwe tutegeerera nga twagala abaana ba Katonda, bwe twagala Katonda ne tukola by’atulagira.
3 Love for God means obedience to His commands; and His commands are not irksome.
Kubanga okwagala kwa Katonda kwe kukola ebyo by’atulagira okukola. Okukola by’atulagira si kizibu,
4 For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.
kubanga buli mwana wa Katonda awangula ekibi n’okwegomba ensi, era kuno kwe kuwangula okwawangula ensi, kwe kukkiriza kwaffe.
5 Who but the man that believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world?
Naye ani ayinza okuwangula ensi okuggyako oyo akkiriza nti Yesu Mwana wa Katonda?
6 Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony-- because the Spirit is the Truth.
Yesu Kristo oyo yennyini ye yajja n’amazzi n’omusaayi, si na mazzi, naye n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Era ne Mwoyo ekyo akikakasa kubanga Mwoyo ye mazima.
7 For there are three that give testimony-- the Spirit, the water, and the blood;
Waliwo okukakasa kwa mirundi esatu:
8 and there is complete agreement between these three.
Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’amazzi, n’Omusaayi, era ebisatu ebyo bikkiriziganya.
9 If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.
Obanga tukkiriza obujulirwa bw’abantu, obujulirwa bwa Katonda tusaana okubukkiriza ennyo n’okusingawo, kubanga bwe businga obukulu ng’ategeeza ku Mwana we.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.
Kale buli akkiririza mu Mwana wa Katonda akyetegeezeza ddala ye yennyini. Oyo atakkiririza mu Katonda ng’amufudde mulimba, kubanga takkiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayogera ku Mwana we.
11 And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)
Era buno bwe bujulirwa nti: “Katonda yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu buno buli mu Mwana we.” (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the Life: he who has not the Son of God has not the Life.
Buli alina Omwana alina obulamu, naye oyo atalina Mwana wa Katonda talina bulamu.
13 I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Ebyo mbiwandiikidde mmwe abakkiriza erinnya ly’Omwana wa Katonda, mulyoke mumanye nti mulina obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
14 And we have an assured confidence that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us.
Noolwekyo tulina obuvumu nti bwe tugenda gy’ali ne tumusaba ekintu kyonna, ye nga bw’asiima atuwulira.
15 And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
Era bwe tutegeera nti atuwulira bwe tumusaba, buli kye tumusaba talema kukituwa.
16 If any one sees a brother man committing a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and God shall give him life--for those who do not sin unto death. There is such a thing as sin unto death; for that I do not bid him make request.
Omuntu yenna bw’alaba muganda we ng’agudde mu kibi ekitali kya kufa, amusabirenga, Katonda talirema kumuwa bulamu. Njogera ku abo bokka abagwa mu kibi ekitali kya kufa.
17 Any kind of wrongdoing is sin; but there is sin which is not unto death.
Buli ekitali kya butuukirivu kibi, naye waliwo ekibi ekitaleetera muntu kufa.
18 We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.
Tumanyi nga buli muntu yenna azaalibwa Katonda teyeeyongera kukola kibi, kubanga Katonda amukuuma, Setaani n’atamukola kabi.
19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.
Tumanyi nga tuli ba Katonda, n’ensi yonna eri mu mikono gya Setaani.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Era tumanyi ng’Omwana wa Katonda yajja mu nsi, n’atuwa okutegeera tumanye Katonda ow’amazima, era tuli mu oyo Katonda ow’amazima, ne mu Yesu Kristo Omwana we. Oyo ye Katonda ow’amazima n’obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
21 Dear children, guard yourselves from idols.
Abaana abaagalwa, mwewalenga bakatonda abalala.
