1 Johana 5
1 Mũndũ o wothe wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ aciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai, nake mũndũ o wothe wendete mũciari nĩendete o na mwana wake.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.
2 Ũũ nĩguo tũmenyaga atĩ nĩtwendete ciana cia Ngai: nĩ kwenda Ngai na kũhingia maathani make.
In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 Ũũ nĩguo kwenda Ngai: nĩ gwathĩkĩra maathani make. Namo maathani make ti maritũ,
For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
4 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe mũciare nĩ Ngai nĩatooragia maũndũ ma thĩ. Naguo ũhootani ũrĩa ũtooretie maũndũ ma thĩ, nĩ gwĩtĩkia gwitũ.
For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.
5 Nũũ ũcio ũtooragia maũndũ ma thĩ? Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 We nĩwe wokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ na thakame, o Jesũ Kristũ. We ndokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ moiki, no nĩwe wokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ na thakame. Nake Roho nĩwe mũira, tondũ Roho nĩwe ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.
7 Nĩgũkorwo aira nĩ atatũ (kũu igũrũ: nao nĩ Ithe witũ, na Ũhoro, na Roho Mũtheru; nao aya atatũ nĩ ũmwe. Gũkũ thĩ nakuo aira nĩ atatũ):
And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.
8 nao nĩ Roho, na maaĩ, na thakame; nao acio atatũ nĩmaiguanĩte.
And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.
9 Angĩkorwo nĩtwĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ, ũira wa Ngai nĩ mũnene makĩria, tondũ nĩ ũira wa Ngai ũrĩa aheanĩte ũkoniĩ Mũriũ.
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.
10 Mũndũ wothe wĩtĩkĩtie Mũrũ wa Ngai arĩ na ũira ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake. Mũndũ wothe ũtetĩkĩtie Ngai nĩamũtuĩte wa maheeni, tondũ ndetĩkĩtie ũira ũrĩa mũheane nĩ Ngai ũkoniĩ Mũriũ.
He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
11 Naguo ũyũ nĩguo ũira atĩ Ngai nĩatũheete muoyo wa tene na tene, naguo muoyo ũcio wĩ thĩinĩ wa Mũriũ. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ũrĩa ũrĩ na Mũriũ arĩ na muoyo; nake ũrĩa ũtarĩ na Mũrũ wa Ngai ndarĩ na muoyo.
He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.
13 Ndĩramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya inyuĩ arĩa mwĩtĩkĩtie rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũrũ wa Ngai, nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ mũrĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Ũũmĩrĩru ũrĩa tũkoragwo naguo tũgĩkuhĩrĩria Ngai nĩ atĩ tũngĩhooya ũndũ o wothe kũringana na wendo wake-rĩ, we nĩatũiguaga.
And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.
15 Na tũngĩmenya atĩ nĩatũiguaga, ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũrĩa tũhooyaga-rĩ, nĩtũũĩ atĩ nĩatũheete ũndũ ũrĩa tũmũhooete.
And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.
16 Mũndũ o wothe angĩona mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe agĩĩka rĩĩhia rĩrĩa rĩtangĩmũtwara gĩkuũ-inĩ, nĩahoe, nake Ngai nĩakamũhe muoyo. Ndĩraaria ũhoro wa andũ arĩa rĩĩhia rĩao rĩtarĩ rĩa kũmatwara gĩkuũ-inĩ. No nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩngĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ. Niĩ ndiroiga atĩ mũndũ ahooe nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia ta rĩu.
He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
17 Ciĩko ciothe njũru nĩ mehia, no nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩtangĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ.
All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.
18 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai ndatũũraga ehagia; mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai, ũcio nĩamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Ngai, nake ũrĩa mũũru ndangĩhota kũmwĩka ũũru.
We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
19 Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai, na tũkamenya atĩ thĩ yothe yathagwo na wathani wa ũrĩa mũũru.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.
20 Ningĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai nĩokĩte na nĩatũheete ũtaũku, nĩgeetha tũmũmenye ũrĩa arĩ we ũhoro wa ma. Na ithuĩ tũrĩ thĩinĩ wake ũcio ũrĩa arĩ we ũhoro wa ma, tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Mũrũwe Jesũ Kristũ. We nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa wa ma, na nowe muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
21 Twana twakwa nyendete, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ngai cia mĩhianano.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
