1 Yohane 5
1 Obiara a ogye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Agyenkwa no yɛ Onyankopɔn ba. Na obiara a ɔdɔ Agya no dɔ ne mma no nso.
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 Eyi na ɛma yehu sɛ yɛdɔ Onyankopɔn mma; sɛ yɛbɛdɔ Onyankopɔn na yɛadi nʼahyɛde so.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 Ɔdɔ a yɛdɔ Onyankopɔn no kyerɛ di a yedi nʼahyɛde so. Na nʼahyɛde no nso sodi nyɛ den mma yɛn,
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 efisɛ Onyankopɔn ba biara tumi di wiase so. Yɛnam yɛn gyidi so di wiase so nkonim.
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Hena na obetumi adi wiase so? Obi a ogye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no nko ara.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Yesu Kristo yɛ obi a ɔnam nsu ne mogya so bae. Ɛnyɛ nsu nko so na ɔnam bae na mmom, nsu ne mogya. Na ɛyɛ Honhom no na edi ho adanse efisɛ Honhom no ne nokware no.
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 that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 Nnansefo baasa na wɔwɔ hɔ.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 Honhom no, nsu no ne mogya no. Saa nnansefo yi adwene hyia.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 Yegye adanse a nnipa di no di; nanso adanse a Onyankopɔn di no mu yɛ den yiye. Na saa adanse no na Onyankopɔn adi afa ne Ba no ho.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 Enti obi a ogye Onyankopɔn Ba no di no agye saa adanse yi adi wɔ ne koma mu. Na obi a onnye Onyankopɔn nni no ama Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔtorofo, efisɛ wannye adanse a Onyankopɔn di faa ne Ba no ho no anni.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 Eyi ne adanse no: Onyankopɔn ama yɛn nkwa a enni awiei; na saa nkwa no wɔ ne Ba no mu. (aiōnios g166)
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Obiara a ɔwɔ Ɔba no wɔ saa nkwa no, na obiara a onni Ɔba no nni nkwa no.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 Merekyerɛw mo a mugye Onyankopɔn Ba no din di no eyi sɛnea ɛbɛma moahu sɛ mowɔ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Na anidaso a yɛwɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim ne sɛ, yenim sɛ biribiara a yebisa no wɔ ne pɛ mu no, otie yɛn.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 Bere biara a yebisa no no, otie yɛn. Yɛahu sɛ eyi yɛ nokware yi, yenim nso sɛ ɔma yɛn nea yebisa no biara.
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 Sɛ obi hu sɛ ne nua ayɛ bɔne bi a ɛmfa no nkɔ owu mu a, ɔmmɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛma no nkwa no mpae mma no. Eyi fa wɔn a wɔn bɔne mfa wɔn nkɔ owu mu no ho. Bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a ɛde onipa kɔ owu mu na ɛno ho de, menka sɛ mommɔ ho mpae nkyerɛ Onyankopɔn.
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 Afideyɛ nyinaa yɛ bɔne, nanso bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a enkowie owu mu.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn ba biara nkɔ so nyɛ bɔne, efisɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no bɔ wɔn ho ban, na ɔbonsam ntumi nyɛ wɔn bɔne.
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 Yenim sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma, na wiasefo de wɔhyɛ ɔbonsam tumi ase.
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no aba, na wama yɛahu nokware Nyankopɔn no. Ɔno ne nokware no, Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn ba no. Ɔno ne Nyankopɔn nokwafo a ɔma daa nkwa no. (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath 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 Me mma, montwe mo ho mfi abosom ho.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
