1 Jan 5
1 Tout moun ki rekonèt Jezi se Kris la, se pitit Bondye yo ye. Si ou renmen yon papa, se pou ou renmen pitit li tou.
Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:
2 Nou konnen nou renmen pitit Bondye yo lè nou renmen Bondye, lè nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè.
in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;
3 Nou renmen Bondye, lè nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè. Sa Bondye mande nou fè yo pa twò difisil pase sa.
for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;
4 Paske, depi se pitit Bondye ou ye, ou kapab genyen batay la sou lemonn. Men ki jan nou fè gengen batay la sou lemonn, se paske nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;
5 Ki moun ki ka genyen batay la sou lemonn? Se sèlman moun ki kwè Jezi se pitit Bondye a.
who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Jezikri se moun ki te vini an: li te vini ak dlo batèm lan ansanm ak san lanmò li a. Li pa t' vini ak dlo a sèlman, men li te vini avèk dlo ansanm ak san. Lespri Bondye a di se vre sa, paske Lespri Bondye a se verite a menm.
This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,
7 Gen yo twa k'ap di Jezi se moun ki te vini an.
because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;
8 Se Lespri Bondye a, se dlo a ansanm ak san an. Yo touletwa yo dakò.
and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.
9 Nou asepte pawòl moun pou verite. Men, pawòl Bondye a pi bon toujou. Epi, sa se temwayaj Bondye bay pou Pitit li a.
If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.
10 Konsa, moun ki gen konfyans nan Pitit Bondye a, se moun ki pran pawòl Bondye a pou verite epi ki kenbe l' nan kè yo. Men, moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Bondye, yo fè Bondye pase pou mantò, paske yo pa t' kwè pawòl Bondye te di sou Pitit li a se verite.
He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;
11 Men pawòl verite a: Bondye ban nou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se nan Pitit li a li ban nou li. (aiōnios g166)
and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this — the life — is in His Son; (aiōnios g166)
12 Moun ki gen Pitit la, yo gen lavi sa a tou. Men, moun ki pa gen Pitit Bondye a, yo pa gen lavi sa a non plis.
he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.
13 M'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, nou menm ki kwè nan Pitit Bondye a pou nou ka konnen nou gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Se poutèt sa kè nou pa sote devan Bondye. Nou konnen l'ap koute nou si nou mande l' kichòy ki dakò ak volonte li.
And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,
15 Konsa, non sèlman nou konnen l'ap koute nou lè nou fè l' yon demann, men nou konnen tou l'ap ban nou sa nou mande l' la.
and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.
16 Si yon moun wè yon frè l' fè yon peche ki p'ap fè l' mouri, se pou l' lapriyè Bondye pou Bondye bay frè a lavi. Prensip sa a bon pou moun ki fè peche ki p'ap fè yo mouri. Men, gen yon kalite peche ki mennen yon moun tou dwat nan lanmò. mwen pa di pou yo lapriyè pou moun ki fè kalite peche sa yo.
If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;
17 Tou sa ou fè ki mal, se yon peche. Men, se pa tout peche k'ap mennen ou nan lanmò.
all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.
18 Nou konnen depi yon moun pitit Bondye, li p'ap kontinye ap viv nan peche toujou. Paske, Pitit Bondye a ap veye sou li, Satan pa ka fè l' anyen.
We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;
19 Nou konnen nou se moun Bondye. Men, tou sa ki sou latè anba pouvwa Satan.
we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;
20 Nou konnen Pitit Bondye a te vini, li louvri lespri nou pou nou ka konnen Bondye tout bon an. N'ap viv ansanm ak Bondye tout bon an, gremesi Pitit li, Jezikri. Se li menm ki Bondye tout bon an, se li menm ki lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. (aiōnios g166)
and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during! (aiōnios g166)
21 Pitit mwen yo, veye kò nou ak zidòl!
Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
