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 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 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, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;
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 His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;
4 pamba te mwana nyonso ya Nzambe alongaka mokili, mpe elonga oyo elongaki mokili ezali: kondima na biso.
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 Nani oyo alongaka mokili? Ezali kaka moto oyo andimaka ete Yesu azali Mwana na Nzambe.
who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is 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.
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 Nzokande, batatoli bazali misato:
because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;
8 Molimo, mayi mpe makila; mpe bango misato balobaka ndenge moko.
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 Tondimaka matatoli ya bato, kasi litatoli ya Nzambe eleki motuya, pamba te yango nde Nzambe apesa na tina na Mwana na Ye.
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 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 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 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 life age-during did God give to us, and this — the 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 who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.
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 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 Mpe tala elikya oyo tozali na yango liboso ya Nzambe: soki tosengi eloko kolanda mokano na Ye, ayoki biso.
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 Mpe soki toyebi ete ayoki biso, toyebi lisusu ete tozali na eloko oyo tosengi epai na Ye.
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 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 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 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 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 Toyebi ete tozali bana na Nzambe, mpe ete mokili mobimba ezali na se ya bokonzi ya Satana.
we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;
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 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 Bana na ngai, bomibatelaka mosika na banzambe ya bikeko.
Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
