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.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born 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 do 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. His commandments are not grievous.
4 efisɛ Onyankopɔn ba biara tumi di wiase so. Yɛnam yɛn gyidi so di wiase so nkonim.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5 Hena na obetumi adi wiase so? Obi a ogye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no nko ara.
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes 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 who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 Nnansefo baasa na wɔwɔ hɔ.
For there are three who testify:
8 Honhom no, nsu no ne mogya no. Saa nnansefo yi adwene hyia.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as 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 accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified concerning 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 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 given concerning 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)
The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting 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 who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the 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 I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life. (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.
This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to 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 listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked 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 anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and he will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should make a request concerning this.
17 Afideyɛ nyinaa yɛ bɔne, nanso bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a enkowie owu mu.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to 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 whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
19 Yenim sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma, na wiasefo de wɔhyɛ ɔbonsam tumi ase.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
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)
We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Me mma, montwe mo ho mfi abosom ho.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
