1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Moto nyonso oyo andimaka ete Yesu azali Klisto azali mwana na Nzambe, mpe moto nyonso oyo alingaka Tata alingaka mpe Mwana na Ye.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
Tala ndenge nini toyebaka ete tolingaka bana na Nzambe: ezali na nzela ya kolinga Nzambe mpe ya kotosa mibeko na Ye.
3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
Pamba te kolinga Nzambe ezali: kotosa mibeko na Ye. Mpe mibeko na Ye ezali pasi te,
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
pamba te mwana nyonso ya Nzambe alongaka mokili, mpe elonga oyo elongaki mokili ezali: kondima na biso.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Nani oyo alongaka mokili? Ezali kaka moto oyo andimaka ete Yesu azali Mwana na Nzambe.
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.
Yesu-Klisto azali Ye oyo ayaki na nzela ya mayi mpe makila; ayaki na nzela ya mayi kaka te, kasi na nzela ya mayi mpe makila. Mpe ezali Molimo nde atatoli bongo, pamba te Molimo azali solo.
7 For there are three who testify:
Nzokande, batatoli bazali misato:
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
Molimo, mayi mpe makila; mpe bango misato balobaka ndenge moko.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
Tondimaka matatoli ya bato, kasi litatoli ya Nzambe eleki motuya, pamba te yango nde Nzambe apesa na tina na Mwana na Ye.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
Moto oyo andimelaka Mwana na Nzambe azali na litatoli yango kati na motema na ye; moto oyo andimelaka Nzambe te akomisi Nzambe mokosi, pamba te andimaka te litatoli oyo Nzambe apesa na tina na Mwana na Ye.
11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Mpe litatoli yango ezali: Nzambe apesa biso bomoi ya seko, mpe bomoi yango ezali kati na Mwana na Ye. (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
Moto oyo azali na Mwana azali na bomoi, kasi moto oyo azangi Mwana na Nzambe azangi mpe bomoi.
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 eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Bino oyo bondimelaka Kombo ya Mwana na Nzambe, nakomeli bino makambo oyo mpo boyeba ete bozali na bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
14 This is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
Mpe tala elikya oyo tozali na yango liboso ya Nzambe: soki tosengi eloko kolanda mokano na Ye, ayoki biso.
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.
Mpe soki toyebi ete ayoki biso, toyebi lisusu ete tozali na eloko oyo tosengi epai na Ye.
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 sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.
Soki omoni ndeko na yo kosala lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te, osengeli kobondela mpo na ye, mpe Nzambe akopesa ye bomoi. Nazali koloba nde na tina na bato oyo basalaka lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te. Kasi ezali na lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa; ezali te na tina na lisumu yango nde nazali kosenga na bino kobondela.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
Solo, lisumu ezali: kobuka mobeko; kasi ezali na lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te.
18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.
Toyebi ete moto nyonso oyo abotami na bomoi ya bonzambe akobaka te kosala lisumu; Ye moko Mwana na Nzambe abatelaka ye, mpe Satana akoki kosala ye mabe te.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Toyebi ete tozali bana na Nzambe, mpe ete mokili mobimba ezali na se ya bokonzi ya Satana.
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. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Toyebi lisusu ete Mwana na Nzambe asila koya mpe apesa biso bososoli mpo ete tokoka koyeba Ye oyo azali solo. Mpe tozali kati na Ye oyo azali solo, na nzela ya kozala kati na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Ye. Mwana azali Ye moko Nzambe ya solo mpe bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Bana na ngai, bomibatelaka mosika na banzambe ya bikeko.
