1 Yokaana 5
1 Buli akkiriza nti Yesu ye Kristo, oyo aba mwana wa Katonda, era buli ayagala kitaawe w’omwana ayagala n’omwana we.
Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.
2 Ku ekyo kwe tutegeerera nga twagala abaana ba Katonda, bwe twagala Katonda ne tukola by’atulagira.
Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Kubanga okwagala kwa Katonda kwe kukola ebyo by’atulagira okukola. Okukola by’atulagira si kizibu,
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
4 kubanga buli mwana wa Katonda awangula ekibi n’okwegomba ensi, era kuno kwe kuwangula okwawangula ensi, kwe kukkiriza kwaffe.
For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.
5 Naye ani ayinza okuwangula ensi okuggyako oyo akkiriza nti Yesu Mwana wa Katonda?
Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Yesu Kristo oyo yennyini ye yajja n’amazzi n’omusaayi, si na mazzi, naye n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Era ne Mwoyo ekyo akikakasa kubanga Mwoyo ye mazima.
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.
7 Waliwo okukakasa kwa mirundi esatu:
For they that bear witness are three:
8 Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’amazzi, n’Omusaayi, era ebisatu ebyo bikkiriziganya.
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.
9 Obanga tukkiriza obujulirwa bw’abantu, obujulirwa bwa Katonda tusaana okubukkiriza ennyo n’okusingawo, kubanga bwe businga obukulu ng’ategeeza ku Mwana we.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.
10 Kale buli akkiririza mu Mwana wa Katonda akyetegeezeza ddala ye yennyini. Oyo atakkiririza mu Katonda ng’amufudde mulimba, kubanga takkiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayogera ku Mwana we.
He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.
11 Era buno bwe bujulirwa nti: “Katonda yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu buno buli mu Mwana we.” (aiōnios g166)
And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Buli alina Omwana alina obulamu, naye oyo atalina Mwana wa Katonda talina bulamu.
He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.
13 Ebyo mbiwandiikidde mmwe abakkiriza erinnya ly’Omwana wa Katonda, mulyoke mumanye nti mulina obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Noolwekyo tulina obuvumu nti bwe tugenda gy’ali ne tumusaba ekintu kyonna, ye nga bw’asiima atuwulira.
And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.
15 Era bwe tutegeera nti atuwulira bwe tumusaba, buli kye tumusaba talema kukituwa.
And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
16 Omuntu yenna bw’alaba muganda we ng’agudde mu kibi ekitali kya kufa, amusabirenga, Katonda talirema kumuwa bulamu. Njogera ku abo bokka abagwa mu kibi ekitali kya kufa.
If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.
17 Buli ekitali kya butuukirivu kibi, naye waliwo ekibi ekitaleetera muntu kufa.
Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.
18 Tumanyi nga buli muntu yenna azaalibwa Katonda teyeeyongera kukola kibi, kubanga Katonda amukuuma, Setaani n’atamukola kabi.
We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.
19 Tumanyi nga tuli ba Katonda, n’ensi yonna eri mu mikono gya Setaani.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one].
20 Era tumanyi ng’Omwana wa Katonda yajja mu nsi, n’atuwa okutegeera tumanye Katonda ow’amazima, era tuli mu oyo Katonda ow’amazima, ne mu Yesu Kristo Omwana we. Oyo ye Katonda ow’amazima n’obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Abaana abaagalwa, mwewalenga bakatonda abalala.
Children, keep yourselves from idols.
