1 Jaona 5
1 Izay rehetra mino fa Jesosy no Kristy dia naterak’ Andriamanitra; ary izay rehetra tia Izay niteraka dia tia izay naterany koa.
Every man who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and every man who loves him who begot, also loves him who has been begotten from him.
2 Izao no ahafantarantsika fa tia ireo zanak’ Andriamanitra isika, dia ny itiavantsika an’ Andriamanitra sy ny ankatoavantsika ny didiny.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Fa izao no fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra, dia ny hitandremantsika ny didiny, sady tsy mavesatra ny didiny.
For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
4 Fa izay rehetra naterak’ Andriamanitra dia maharesy izao tontolo izao; ary ny fandresena izay enti-maharesy izao tontolo izao dia ny finoantsika.
Because everything that has been begotten from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
5 Iza moa no maharesy izao tontolo izao afa-tsy izay mino fa Jesosy no Zanak’ Andriamanitra?
And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Izy ilay avy tamin’ ny rano sy ny rà, dia Jesosy Kristy; tsy tamin’ ny rano ihany, fa tamin’ ny rano sy ny rà. Ary ny Fanahy no manambara, satria ny Fanahy no fahamarinana.
This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.
7 Fa misy telo izay manambara,
Because those who testify are three:
8 dia ny Fanahy sy ny rano ary ny rà; ary mifanaraka tsara izy telo.
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in one.
9 Raha mandray ny fanambaran’ ny olona isika, lehibe lavitra ny fanambaran’ Andriamanitra; fa ny fanambaran’ Andriamanitra dia ny nanambarany ny Zanany.
If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son.
10 Izay mino ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra no manana ny fanambarana ao anatiny; izay tsy mino an’ Andriamanitra dia efa nampandainga Ary, satria tsy mino ny fanambarana izay nanambaran’ Andriamanitra ny Zanany izy.
He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son.
11 Ary izao no fanambarany: Fiainana mandrakizay no omen’ Andriamanitra antsika, ary ao amin’ ny Zanany izany fiainana izany. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Izay manana ny Zanaka no manana ny fiainana; izay tsy manana ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra no tsy manana ny fiainana.
He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
13 Izany no nosoratako aminareo, izay mino ny anaran’ ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra, mba ho fantatrareo fa manana fiainana mandrakizay ianareo. (aiōnios g166)
I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Ary izao no fahasahiana ananantsika eo anatrehany: Raha mangataka zavatra araka ny sitrapony isika, dia mihaino antsika Izy;
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 ary raha fantatsika fa mihaino antsika Izy, na inona na inona no angatahintsika, dia fantatsika fa azontsika izay angatahintsika aminy.
And if we know that he hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
16 Raha misy mahita ny rahalahiny manao ota tsy mahafaty, dia aoka hifona ho azy izy, ary Andriamanitra no hanome azy fiainana ho an’ izay manao ota tsy mahafaty. Misy ota mahafaty; tsy mba lazaiko fa tokony hangataka ny amin’ izany izy.
If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.
17 Ota avokoa ny tsi-fahamarinana rehetra; ary misy ota tsy mahafaty.
All unrighteousness is sin. And there is sin not toward death.
18 Fantatsika fa izay rehetra naterak’ Andriamanitra dia tsy manota; fa izay naterak’ Andriamanitra, dia miaro ny tenany ka tsy mikasika azy akory ilay ratsy.
We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.
19 Fantatsika fa avy amin’ Andriamanitra isika, ary izao tontolo izao kosa dia mipetraka eo amin’ ilay ratsy avokoa.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world is set in the evil.
20 Ary fantatsika fa tonga ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra ka efa nanome antsika ny fahazavan-tsaina, mba ho fantatsika ilay marina; ary isika ao amin’ ilay marina, dia ao amin’ i Jesosy Kristy Zanany. Izy no Andriamanitra marina sy fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Anaka, arovy ny tenanareo amin’ ny sampy.
Little children, guard yourselves from the idols. Truly.
