1 Johani 5

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

Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loves him that brings forth loves him also that is begotten of him.

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

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

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

For this is the love (agape) of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

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

For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.

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

Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son 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 he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit (pneuma) that bears witness, because the Spirit (pneuma) is truth.

7 Nokuti kune zvitatu zvinopupura zvinoti:

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, (logos) and the Holy Spirit: (pneuma) and these three are one.

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

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, (pneuma) 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 receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son.

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 believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son.

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

And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)

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

He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.

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

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that all of you may know that all of you have eternal life, and that all of you may believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)

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

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us:

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

And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we 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 sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17 Kuita chakaipa kwose chivi, uye pane chivi chisingaurayisi.

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

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

We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one touches him not.

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

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.

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)

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we may 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 Vana vanodikanwa, ibvai pazvifananidzo.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
