1 Johani 5

1 Mumwe nomumwe anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu, akaberekwa naMwari, uye mumwe nomumwe anoda baba anodawo mwana wavo.

Whosoeuer beleeueth that Iesus is that Christ, is borne of God: and euery one that loueth him, which begate, loueth him also which is begotten of him.

2 Izvi ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti tinoda vana vaMwari: kana tichida Mwari uye tichiita mirayiro yake.

In this we know that we loue the children of God, when we loue God, and keepe his commandements.

3 Uku ndiko kuda Mwari: kuteerera mirayiro yake. Uye mirayiro yake hairemi,

For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements: and his commandements are not burdenous.

4 nokuti vose vakaberekwa naMwari vanokunda nyika. Uku ndiko kukunda kwakakunda nyika, iko kutenda kwedu.

For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth this world: and this is that victorie that hath ouercome this world, euen our faith.

5 Ndianiko anokunda nyika? Ndiye chete anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.

Who is it that ouercommeth this world, but he which beleeueth that Iesus is that Sonne of God?

6 Uyu ndiye akauya nemvura neropa, Jesu Kristu. Haana kuuya nemvura bedzi, asi nemvura neropa. Uye Mweya ndiye anopupura, nokuti Mweya ndiye chokwadi.

This is that Iesus Christ that came by water and blood: not by water onely, but by water and blood: and it is that Spirit, that beareth witnesse: for that Spirit is trueth.

7 Nokuti kune zvitatu zvinopupura zvinoti:

For there are three, which beare recorde in heauen, the Father, the Worde, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8 Mweya, mvura, neropa; uye zvitatu izvi zvinotenderana.

And there are three, which beare record in the earth, the spirit, and the water and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9 Tinogamuchira uchapupu hwavanhu, asi uchapupu hwaMwari hukuru nokuti ndihwo uchapupu hwaMwari, hwaakapa pamusoro poMwanakomana wake.

If we receiue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the witnesse of God, which he testified of his Sonne.

10 Munhu mumwe nomumwe anotenda muMwanakomana waMwari ano uchapupu uhu mumwoyo make. Munhu mumwe nomumwe asingatendi Mwari, akabva amuita murevi wenhema, nokuti haana kutenda kupupura kwaMwari kwaakaita pamusoro poMwanakomana wake.

He that beleeueth in that Sonne of God, hath the witnes in himselfe: he that beleeueth not God, hath made him a lyar, because he beleeued not ye record, that God witnessed of that his Sonne.

11 Uye uku ndiko kupupura kuti: Mwari akatipa upenyu husingaperi, uye upenyu uhu huri muMwanakomana wake. (aiōnios g166)

And this is that record, to wit, that God hath giuen vnto vs eternall life, and this life is in that his Sonne. (aiōnios g166)

12 Uyo ano Mwanakomana ano upenyu; uyo asina Mwanakomana waMwari haana upenyu.

He that hath that Sonne, hath that life: and he that hath not that Sonne of God, hath not that life.

13 Ndanyora izvi kwamuri imi munotenda muzita roMwanakomana waMwari kuitira kuti muzive kuti mune upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

These things haue I written vnto you, that beleeue in the Name of that Sonne of God, that ye may knowe that ye haue eternall life, and that ye may beleeue in the Name of that Sonne of God. (aiōnios g166)

14 Ndiko kusatya kwatinako mukuswedera kwedu kuna Mwari: kuti kana tichikumbira chinhu chipi nechipi nokuda kwake, anotinzwa.

And this is that assurance, that we haue in him, that if we aske any thing according to his will, he heareth vs.

15 Uye kana tichiziva kuti anotinzwa pazvose zvatinokumbira, tinoziva kuti tava nazvo zvatakumbira kwaari.

And if we know that he heareth vs, whatsoeuer we aske, we know that we haue the petitions, that we haue desired of him.

16 Kana munhu akaona hama yake ichiita chivi chisingaurayisi, anofanira kunyengetera uye Mwari achamupa upenyu. Ndinoreva vaya vane chivi chisingaurayisi. Pane chivi chinourayisa. Handirevi kuti anyengetere pamusoro pacho.

If any man see his brother sinne a sinne that is not vnto death, let him aske, and he shall giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it.

17 Kuita chakaipa kwose chivi, uye pane chivi chisingaurayisi.

All vnrighteousnesse is sinne, but there is a sinne not vnto death.

18 Tinoziva kuti mumwe nomumwe akaberekwa naMwari haarambi achiita chivi; uyo akaberekwa naMwari anomuchengeta zvakanaka, uye akaipa haagoni kumukuvadza.

We know that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himselfe, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

19 Tinoziva kuti tiri vana vaMwari, uye kuti nyika yose iri pasi powakaipa.

We knowe that we are of God, and this whole world lieth in wickednesse.

20 Tinozivawo kuti Mwanakomana waMwari akauya akatipa kunzwisisa, kuitira kuti timuzive iye wechokwadi. Uye tiri maari iye wechokwadi, kunyange muMwanakomana wake Jesu Kristu. Ndiye Mwari wechokwadi noupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

But we know that that Sone of God is come, and hath giue vs a mind to know him, which is true: and we are in him that is true, that is, in that his Sone Iesus Christ: this same is that very God, and that eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

21 Vana vanodikanwa, ibvai pazvifananidzo.

Litle children, keepe your selues from idoles, Amen.
