1 Jọn 5
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 who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him.
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.
Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 Nke a bụ ịhụnanya Chineke, na anyị ga-edebe iwu ya. Iwu ya adịghịkwa arọ.
For this is the love of God, that we should keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.
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 every one that is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.
5 Onye pụrụ imeri ụwa, ma ọ bụghị naanị onye ahụ kweere na Jisọs bụ Ọkpara Chineke?
Who is he that overcometh the world, except he that believeth 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.
This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 Nʼihi na ha dị atọ gbara akaebe:
For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one.
8 Mmụọ Nsọ, na mmiri na ọbara, ha atọ kwekọrịtara.
And there are three which bear witness upon earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are for the same one object.
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 testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he 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.
He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of 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 hath given life eternal to us; 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.
He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this 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)
These things have I written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, and that ye may 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 confidence that we have towards him, that whatsoever we ask according to his will, he heareth 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 heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have requested, 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 person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for that.
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 is born of God sinneth not; but he that is born of God preserveth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
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 is under the power of that wicked 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 hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
21 Ụmụ m, wezuganụ onwe unu site nʼarụsị niile.
My dear children, guard yourselves against idols. Amen.
