1 Yoane 5
1 Moto nyonso oyo andimaka ete Yesu azali Klisto azali mwana na Nzambe, mpe moto nyonso oyo alingaka Tata alingaka mpe Mwana na Ye.
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 Tala ndenge nini toyebaka ete tolingaka bana na Nzambe: ezali na nzela ya kolinga Nzambe mpe ya kotosa mibeko na Ye.
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 Pamba te kolinga Nzambe ezali: kotosa mibeko na Ye. Mpe mibeko na Ye ezali pasi te,
For this is the divine love of God, that we may keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy:
4 pamba te mwana nyonso ya Nzambe alongaka mokili, mpe elonga oyo elongaki mokili ezali: kondima na biso.
because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.
5 Nani oyo alongaka mokili? Ezali kaka moto oyo andimaka ete Yesu azali Mwana na Nzambe.
Who is the one conquering the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Yesu-Klisto azali Ye oyo ayaki na nzela ya mayi mpe makila; ayaki na nzela ya mayi kaka te, kasi na nzela ya mayi mpe makila. Mpe ezali Molimo nde atatoli bongo, pamba te Molimo azali solo.
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 Nzokande, batatoli bazali misato:
Because there are three who are bearing witness,
8 Molimo, mayi mpe makila; mpe bango misato balobaka ndenge moko.
the Spirit and the water, and blood: and these three are one.
9 Tondimaka matatoli ya bato, kasi litatoli ya Nzambe eleki motuya, pamba te yango nde Nzambe apesa na tina na Mwana na Ye.
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 Moto oyo andimelaka Mwana na Nzambe azali na litatoli yango kati na motema na ye; moto oyo andimelaka Nzambe te akomisi Nzambe mokosi, pamba te andimaka te litatoli oyo Nzambe apesa na tina na Mwana na Ye.
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 Mpe litatoli yango ezali: Nzambe apesa biso bomoi ya seko, mpe bomoi yango ezali kati na Mwana na Ye. (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 Moto oyo azali na Mwana azali na bomoi, kasi moto oyo azangi Mwana na Nzambe azangi mpe bomoi.
The one having the Son has the life; the one not having the Son of God has not the life.
13 Bino oyo bondimelaka Kombo ya Mwana na Nzambe, nakomeli bino makambo oyo mpo boyeba ete bozali na bomoi ya seko. (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 Mpe tala elikya oyo tozali na yango liboso ya Nzambe: soki tosengi eloko kolanda mokano na Ye, ayoki biso.
And this is the assurance which we have toward him, that, if we may ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 Mpe soki toyebi ete ayoki biso, toyebi lisusu ete tozali na eloko oyo tosengi epai na Ye.
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 Soki omoni ndeko na yo kosala lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te, osengeli kobondela mpo na ye, mpe Nzambe akopesa ye bomoi. Nazali koloba nde na tina na bato oyo basalaka lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te. Kasi ezali na lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa; ezali te na tina na lisumu yango nde nazali kosenga na bino kobondela.
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 Solo, lisumu ezali: kobuka mobeko; kasi ezali na lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is sin not unto death.
18 Toyebi ete moto nyonso oyo abotami na bomoi ya bonzambe akobaka te kosala lisumu; Ye moko Mwana na Nzambe abatelaka ye, mpe Satana akoki kosala ye mabe te.
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 Toyebi ete tozali bana na Nzambe, mpe ete mokili mobimba ezali na se ya bokonzi ya Satana.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.
20 Toyebi lisusu ete Mwana na Nzambe asila koya mpe apesa biso bososoli mpo ete tokoka koyeba Ye oyo azali solo. Mpe tozali kati na Ye oyo azali solo, na nzela ya kozala kati na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Ye. Mwana azali Ye moko Nzambe ya solo mpe bomoi ya seko. (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 Bana na ngai, bomibatelaka mosika na banzambe ya bikeko.
Little children, keep yourselves from the idols.
