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.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 Ku ekyo kwe tutegeerera nga twagala abaana ba Katonda, bwe twagala Katonda ne tukola by’atulagira.
Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do 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 whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, [even] our faith.
5 Naye ani ayinza okuwangula ensi okuggyako oyo akkiriza nti Yesu Mwana wa Katonda?
And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth 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, [even] Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.
7 Waliwo okukakasa kwa mirundi esatu:
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
8 Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’amazzi, n’Omusaayi, era ebisatu ebyo bikkiriziganya.
For there are three who bear witness, 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 the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness 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 believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.
11 Era buno bwe bujulirwa nti: “Katonda yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu buno buli mu Mwana we.” (aiōnios g166)
And the witness is this, that God gave unto 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 hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.
13 Ebyo mbiwandiikidde mmwe abakkiriza erinnya ly’Omwana wa Katonda, mulyoke mumanye nti mulina obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, [even] unto you that 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 toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
15 Era bwe tutegeera nti atuwulira bwe tumusaba, buli kye tumusaba talema kukituwa.
and if we know that he heareth 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 man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and [God] will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.
17 Buli ekitali kya butuukirivu kibi, naye waliwo ekibi ekitaleetera muntu kufa.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 Tumanyi nga buli muntu yenna azaalibwa Katonda teyeeyongera kukola kibi, kubanga Katonda amukuuma, Setaani n’atamukola kabi.
We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth him, and the evil one toucheth him not.
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 lieth in the evil 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 is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we 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 Abaana abaagalwa, mwewalenga bakatonda abalala.
[My] little children, guard yourselves from idols.
