1 Onye ọbụla kweere na Jisọs bụ Kraịst bụ onye amụrụ site na Chineke. Onye ọbụla nke hụkwara Nna nʼanya na-ahụkwa Ọkpara ya nʼanya.
Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.
2 Ọ bụ otu a ka anyị si amata na anyị hụrụ ụmụ Chineke nʼanya, mgbe anyị na-ahụ Chineke nʼanya, na-erubekwa isi nʼiwu ya niile.
In this we know that we love the children of God with divine love, when we love God with divine love and keep his commandments.
3 Nke a bụ ịhụnanya Chineke, na anyị ga-edebe iwu ya. Iwu ya adịghịkwa arọ.
For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:
4 Nʼihi na onye ọbụla amụrụ site na Chineke na-emeri ụwa. Nke a bụkwa mmeri ahụ na-emeri ụwa, ọ bụladị okwukwe anyị.
because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.
5 Onye pụrụ imeri ụwa, ma ọ bụghị naanị onye ahụ kweere na Jisọs bụ Ọkpara Chineke?
Who is the one conquering the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Ọ bụ onye ahụ bịara site na mmiri na ọbara, ya bụ Jisọs Kraịst. O siteghị naanị na mmiri bịa, kama o sitere na mmiri na ọbara. Ọ bụkwa Mmụọ Nsọ na-agba ama maka ya, nʼihi na Mmụọ Nsọ bụ eziokwu.
He is the one having come through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood; the Spirit is the one who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 Nʼihi na ha dị atọ gbara akaebe:
Because there are three who are bearing witness,
8 Mmụọ Nsọ, na mmiri na ọbara, ha atọ kwekọrịtara.
the Spirit and the water, and blood: and these three are one.
9 Ọ bụrụ na anyị nabata akaebe nke mmadụ gbara, akaebe nke Chineke gbara dị ukwuu karịa, nʼihi na ọ bụ akaebe Chineke gbara banyere Ọkpara ya.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.
10 Onye ọbụla kweere nʼỌkpara Chineke nwere ọgbụgba ama a nʼobi ya. Ma onye ọbụla na-ekwereghị na Chineke emeela ya ka ọ bụrụ onye ụgha, nʼihi na o kwereghị nʼama ahụ Chineke gbara banyere Ọkpara ya.
The one believing on the Son of God has the witness in himself: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning his Son.
11 Ama ahụ bụkwa nke a, na Chineke enyela anyị ndụ ebighị ebi, ndụ a dịkwa nʼime Ọkpara ya. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the testimony, that God has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Onye ọbụla nwere Ọkpara ahụ nwere ndụ ma onye ọbụla na-enweghị Ọkpara Chineke enweghị ndụ.
The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.
13 Ana m edere unu ihe ndị a unu ndị kweere nʼaha Ọkpara Chineke, ime ka unu mata na unu nwere ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
I have written these things unto you, in order that you may know that you have eternal life; to those who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Nkwuwa okwu anyị nwere na ya bụ, na ọ bụrụ na anyị arịọ ihe ọbụla dịka ọchịchọ obi ya siri dị, ọ na-anụ olu anyị.
And this is the assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 Ọ bụrụkwanụ na anyị matara na ọ na-anụ olu anyị mgbe ọbụla anyị rịọrọ ya ihe, anyị na-amatakwa na anyị anatala ihe ọbụla anyị rịọrọ ya.
And if we know that he hears us as to whatsoever we may ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked from him.
16 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ahụ ka nwanna ya na-eme mmehie nke na-adịghị eduba nʼọnwụ, ya kpee ekpere, Chineke ga-enyekwa onye ahụ ndụ. Nke a bụ maka ndị ahụ mmehie ha na-abụghị nke na-eduba nʼọnwụ. E nwere mmehie na-eduba nʼọnwụ. Asịghị m unu kpee ekpere maka nke ahụ.
If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.
17 Ajọ omume niile bụ mmehie, ma ọ dị mmehie nke na-adịghị eduba nʼọnwụ.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is sin not unto death.
18 Anyị matara na onye ọbụla amụrụ site na Chineke anaghị aga nʼihu na-eme mmehie, kama onye ahụ nke amụrụ site na Chineke na-echekwa ha, ajọ onye ahụ adịghị emetụkwa ha aka.
We know that every one who has been born of God, sins not; but the one having been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
19 Anyị maara na anyị bụ ụmụ Chineke, ụwa niile nọkwa nʼokpuru ike ajọ onye ahụ.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.
20 Anyị matakwara na Ọkpara Chineke abịala, nyekwa anyị nghọta ka anyị mara ya, onye bụ eziokwu. Anyị nọ nʼime onye ahụ bụ eziokwu, ọ bụladị nʼime Ọkpara ya, bụ Jisọs Kraịst. Ya onwe ya bụ ezi Chineke bụrụkwa ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
But we know that the Son of God has come and has given unto us intelligence, that we know the truth. And we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ; he is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Ụmụ m, wezuganụ onwe unu site nʼarụsị niile.
Little children, keep yourselves from the idols.
