1 Yochanan 5

1 Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Messiah has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

Fa o dumela gore Jesu ke Keresete, gore ke Morwa Modimo le gore ke Mmoloki wa gago, jalo o ngwana wa Modimo. Mme botlhe ba ba ratang Rara ba rata le bana ba gagwe.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

Jalo o ka ipatlisisa gore o rata bana ba Modimo go le kae, barwa-rrago le bokgaitsadio mo Moreneng, ka gore o rata Modimo go le kae.

3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

Go rata Modimo go dira se Modimo o re bolelelang gore re se dire, mme go bua boammaaruri, go dira jalo ga go thata gotlhelele;

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

gonne ngwana mongwe le mongwe wa Modimo o ka o obamela, a fenya sebe le dikgatlhego tse di bosula ka go ikanya Keresete go mo thusa.

5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yeshua is the Son of God?

Mme ke mang yo o ka kgonang go lwa a bo a fenya ntwa e fa e se ka go dumela gore Jesu ka boammaaruri ke Morwa Modimo?

6 This is he who came by water and blood, Yeshua the Messiah; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

Mme re itse gore ke Morwa Modimo, gonne Modimo o buile jalo ka lentswe le le tswang kwa legodimong fa Jesu a kolobediwa, le jaaka a ne a lebaganye le loso, ee, eseng fela ka nako ya kolobetso ya gagwe mme e leng le ka nako e a neng a lebaganye le loso ka yone. Le Mowa O O Boitshepo, o o leng boammaaruri ka bosenabokhutlo o bua jalo.

7 For there are three who testify:

Jalo re na le basupi ba le bararo ebong lentswe la Mowa O O Boitshepo mo dipelong tsa rona, lentswe le le neng la tswa kwa legodimong ka nako e Jesu a neng a kolobediwa ka yone, le lentswe le le neng la utlwala pele ga a a swa.

8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

Mme botlhe fela basupi ba, ba bua selo se le sengwe: gore Jesu Keresete ke Morwa Modimo.

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.

Re dumela batho ba ba ntshang bosupi mo dikgotleng tsa rona tsa ditsheko, jalo re tlaa dumela ka boammaaruri sengwe le sengwe se Modimo o se re bolelelang. Mme Modimo o supa gore Jesu ke Morwaone.

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.

Botlhe ba ba dumelang se ke se buang se, ba itse mo dipelong tsa bone gore ke boammaaruri. Fa motho le fa e le mang a sa dumele se, o dira Modimo moaki, ka gore ga a dumele se Mo-dimo o se buileng ka ga Morwaone.

11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

Mme se tota Modimo o se buileng ke eng? Ke gore o re file botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, le gore jone botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo, bo mo go Morwaone. (aiōnios g166)

12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

Ke gone le fa e le mang yo o nang le Morwa Modimo o na le botshelo; le fa e le mang yo o senang Morwa One, ga a na botshelo.

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)

Ke lo kwaletse se, lona ba lo dumelang mo go Morwa Modimo gore lo itse gore lo na le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (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.

Ebile re tlhomamisa se, gore o tlaa re reetsa nako le nako fa re kopa sengwe fela mo go ene ka fa go rateng ga gagwe.

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.

Mme fa re itse gore o a re reetsa fa re bua le ene le fa re isa dikopo tsa rona, mme re ka tlhomamisa gore o tlaa re araba.

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.

Fa o bona Mokeresete a leofa ka mokgwa o o sa iseng losong, o kope Modimo go mo itshwarela mme Modimo o tlaa mo naya botshelo, fa e se a dirile boleo jo bo isang losong. Mme go na le boleo jo bo felelang ka loso mme fa a bo dirile, ga go thuse sepe gore o mo rapelele.

17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

Ee, tshiamololo nngwe le nngwe ke sebe. Ga ke bue ka dibe tse di tlwaelesegileng tse; ke bua ka tshiamololo ele e e isang losong.

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.

Ga go na ope yo e reng e le wa ba ntlo ya Modimo a bo a santse a leofa, gonne Keresete Morwa Modimo, o mo tshegeditse mme diabolo ga a kake a mo leofisa.

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Re itse gore re bana ba Modimo le gore lefatshe lotlhe mo tikologong ya rona le ka fa tlase ga nonofo le taolo ya ga Satane.

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 Yeshua the Messiah. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

Ebile re itse gore Keresete, Morwa Modimo, o tletse go re thusa go tlhaloganya le go itse Modimo wa boammaaruri. Mme jaanong re mo Modimong gonne re mo go Jesu Keresete Morwaone yo e leng Modimo wa boammaaruri a le nosi; ebile e le Botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (aiōnios g166)

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Bana bame ba ba rategang, ikgogeng mo go sengwe le sengwe se se ka tsayang maemo a Modimo mo dipelong tsa lona. Amen. Wa lona ruri, Johane.
