1 Johani 5
1 Mumwe nomumwe anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu, akaberekwa naMwari, uye mumwe nomumwe anoda baba anodawo mwana wavo.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one, that loveth Him that begat, loveth Him also that is begotten of Him:
2 Izvi ndizvo zvatinoziva nazvo kuti tinoda vana vaMwari: kana tichida Mwari uye tichiita mirayiro yake.
and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Uku ndiko kuda Mwari: kuteerera mirayiro yake. Uye mirayiro yake hairemi,
For this is the love 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 overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even our faith.
5 Ndianiko anokunda nyika? Ndiye chete anotenda kuti Jesu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.
Who then is he that overcometh the world, but he who believeth 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 by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is truth.
7 Nokuti kune zvitatu zvinopupura zvinoti:
Yea there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
8 Mweya, mvura, neropa; uye zvitatu izvi zvinotenderana.
and these three agree in one.
9 Tinogamuchira uchapupu hwavanhu, asi uchapupu hwaMwari hukuru nokuti ndihwo uchapupu hwaMwari, hwaakapa pamusoro poMwanakomana wake.
Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified concerning 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 believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
11 Uye uku ndiko kupupura kuti: Mwari akatipa upenyu husingaperi, uye upenyu uhu huri muMwanakomana wake. (aiōnios g166)
And the testimony is this, that God hath 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 hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God hath 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 to you, who believe on the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may the more firmly 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, which we have towards Him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, He heareth us:
15 Uye kana tichiziva kuti anotinzwa pazvose zvatinokumbira, tinoziva kuti tava nazvo zvatakumbira kwaari.
and if we know that He heareth us in whatsoever we ask; we know that we shall have the petitions, which we have requested 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 one see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.
17 Kuita chakaipa kwose chivi, uye pane chivi chisingaurayisi.
All unrighteousness indeed is sin, and yet 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, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, and the wicked one doth not touch him.
19 Tinoziva kuti tiri vana vaMwari, uye kuti nyika yose iri pasi powakaipa.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the wicked one.
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 the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Vana vanodikanwa, ibvai pazvifananidzo.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
