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.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 Tala ndenge nini toyebaka ete tolingaka bana na Nzambe: ezali na nzela ya kolinga Nzambe mpe ya kotosa mibeko na Ye.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, 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 love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 pamba te mwana nyonso ya Nzambe alongaka mokili, mpe elonga oyo elongaki mokili ezali: kondima na biso.
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Nani oyo alongaka mokili? Ezali kaka moto oyo andimaka ete Yesu azali Mwana na Nzambe.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 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.
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 that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 Nzokande, batatoli bazali misato:
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 Molimo, mayi mpe makila; mpe bango misato balobaka ndenge moko.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in 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: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of 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.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of 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 record, that God hath given to 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.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 Bino oyo bondimelaka Kombo ya Mwana na Nzambe, nakomeli bino makambo oyo mpo boyeba ete bozali na bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may 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 confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth 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 hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of 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 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 Solo, lisumu ezali: kobuka mobeko; kasi ezali na lisumu oyo ememaka na kufa te.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a 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 whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 Toyebi ete tozali bana na Nzambe, mpe ete mokili mobimba ezali na se ya bokonzi ya Satana.
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
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)
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath 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 Bana na ngai, bomibatelaka mosika na banzambe ya bikeko.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
