1 John 5
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one, that loveth Him that begat, loveth Him also that is begotten of Him:
Ame sia ame si xɔe se be Yesue nye Kristo la la, wodzii tso Mawu me, eye ame sia ame si lɔ̃a Fofo la la, lɔ̃a Via hã.
2 and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.
Esiae nye ale si míenyana be míelɔ̃a Mawu Viwo: to Mawu lɔlɔ̃ kple eƒe seawo dzi wɔwɔ me.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Esiae nye lɔlɔ̃ na Mawu: be woawɔ eƒe seawo dzi, elabena eƒe sewo mesesẽ o.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even our faith.
Elabena ame si wodzi le Mawu me la ɖu xexea me dzi. Míaƒe xɔsee nye nu si ɖu xexea me dzi.
5 Who then is he that overcometh the world, but he who believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Ame kae nye ame si ɖu xexea me dzi? Ame si xɔe se be Yesue nye Mawu Vi la koe.
6 This is He that came by water and by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is truth.
Yesu Kristoe nye ame si va to tsi kple ʋu me. Meva to tsi me ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ to tsi kple ʋu me. Eye Gbɔgbɔ lae le ɖase ɖim le nu sia ŋu, elabena Gbɔgbɔ lae nye nyateƒe la.
7 Yea there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
Ame etɔ̃e li, ame siwo le ɖase ɖim le dziƒo: Fofo la, Nya la kple Gbɔgbɔ kɔkɔe la, eye ame etɔ̃ siawo le ɖeka.
8 and these three agree in one.
Eye ame etɔ̃ siawo le ɖase ɖim le anyigba dzi, woawoe nye Gbɔgbɔ la, Tsi la kple Ʋu la, eye wo katã ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi le ɖeka.
9 Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified concerning his Son.
Míexɔa amegbetɔwo ƒe ɖaseɖiɖiwo, ke Mawu ƒe ɖase si wòɖi le Via ŋu la de ŋgɔ sãa wu esiawo.
10 He, that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
Eya ta ame sia ame si xɔa Mawu Vi la dzi sena la ɖia ɖase le eƒe dzi me. Eye ame si mexɔa Mawu dzi se o la, ewɔ Mawu aʋatsokalae, elabena mexɔ ɖase si Mawu ɖi le Via ŋu la dzi se o.
11 And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Ke ɖaseɖiɖi lae nye esi be Mawu na agbe mavɔ mí, eye agbe mavɔ sia le Via me. (aiōnios g166)
12 He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Ame si si Vi la le la agbe le esi, eye ame si si Mawu Vi la mele o la, agbe mele esi o.
13 These things have I written to you, who believe on the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may the more firmly believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Mele nu siawo ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi ame siwo xɔ Mawu Vi la ƒe ŋkɔ dzi se la, ale be mianya be agbe mavɔ le mia si. (aiōnios g166)
14 And this is the confidence, which we have towards Him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, He heareth us:
Kakaɖedzi sia le mía si le tete ɖe Mawu ŋu me, be ne míebia nu si sɔ ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu dzi la, eɖoa to mí.
15 and if we know that He heareth us in whatsoever we ask; we know that we shall have the petitions, which we have requested of Him.
Eye ne míenyae be eɖoa to mí la, ekema nu sia nu si míebiae la, míenyae be míaƒe asi su edzi xoxo.
16 If any one see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.
Ne ame aɖe kpɔ be ye nɔvi wɔ nu vɔ̃ si ƒe fetu menye ku o la, nedo gbe ɖa, ale be Mawu naxɔe ɖe agbe. Mele esia gblɔm ku ɖe ame siwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ mehea ku vanɛ o la ŋuti. Nu vɔ̃ aɖe li si hea ame yia ku me, menye nu vɔ̃ sia tɔgbe ƒe nya gblɔm mele o.
17 All unrighteousness indeed is sin, and yet there is a sin not unto death.
Nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi nye nu vɔ̃, gake nu vɔ̃ aɖewo li siwo mehea ame yia ku mee o.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, and the wicked one doth not touch him.
Minyae kɔtɛe be ne wodzi ame aɖe tso Mawu me la, meganɔa nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi atraɖii o; Mawu Vi la ŋutɔ kpɔa eta be wònɔna dedie, eye Vɔ̃ɖitɔ la metea ŋu kaa asi eŋu o.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the wicked one.
Míenyae be Mawu viwoe míenye, eye be xexea me blibo la le vɔ̃ɖitɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ te.
20 But we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Míenyae hã be Mawu Vi la va, eye wòna nugɔmesese mí, ale be míanye eya ame si nye nyateƒea. Míele nyateƒea si nye Via Yesu Kristo la me. Eyae nye nyateƒe Mawu kple agbe mavɔ la. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Vinye lɔlɔ̃awo, miɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa le legbawo gbɔ.
