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 believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loves him that brings forth loves him also that is begotten of him.
2 Ũũ nĩguo tũmenyaga atĩ nĩtwendete ciana cia Ngai: nĩ kwenda Ngai na kũhingia maathani make.
By 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 love (agape) of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
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 overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
5 Nũũ ũcio ũtooragia maũndũ ma thĩ? Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.
Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes 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, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit (pneuma) that bears witness, because the Spirit (pneuma) is 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):
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, (logos) and the Holy Spirit: (pneuma) and these three are one.
8 nao nĩ Roho, na maaĩ, na thakame; nao acio atatũ nĩmaiguanĩte.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, (pneuma) and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in 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 witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has 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 believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave 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 record, that God has 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 has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has 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 have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that all of you may know that all of you have eternal life, and that all of you may believe on 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 that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us:
15 Na tũngĩmenya atĩ nĩatũiguaga, ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũrĩa tũhooyaga-rĩ, nĩtũũĩ atĩ nĩatũheete ũndũ ũrĩa tũmũhooete.
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired 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.
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 Ciĩko ciothe njũru nĩ mehia, no nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩtangĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not 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 sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.
19 Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai, na tũkamenya atĩ thĩ yothe yathagwo na wathani wa ũrĩa mũũru.
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies 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 has come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Twana twakwa nyendete, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ngai cia mĩhianano.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
