1 John 5
1 Olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó bá gbàgbọ́ pé Jesu ni Kristi, a bí i nípa ti Ọlọ́run: àti olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó fẹ́ràn. Ẹni tí ó bi nì, ó fẹ́ràn ẹni tí a bí nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú.
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 Nípa èyí ni àwa mọ̀ pé àwa fẹ́ràn àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run, nígbà tí a bá fẹ́ràn Ọlọ́run, tí a sì ń pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.
3 Nítorí èyí ni ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, pé kí àwa pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́: òfin rẹ̀ kò sì nira,
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
4 nítorí olúkúlùkù ẹni tí a bí nípa tí Ọlọ́run, ó ṣẹ́gun ayé. Èyí sì ni ìṣẹ́gun tí ó ṣẹ́gun ayé, àní ìgbàgbọ́ wa.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5 Ta ni ẹni tí ó ṣẹ́gun ayé, bí kò ṣe ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́ pé Ọmọ Ọlọ́run ni Jesu jẹ́?
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Èyí ni ẹni tí ó wá nípa omi àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, Jesu Kristi, kì í ṣe nípa omi nìkan, bí kò ṣe nípa omi àti ẹ̀jẹ̀. Àti pé Ẹ̀mí ni ó sì ń jẹ́rìí, nítorí pé òtítọ́ ni Ẹ̀mí.
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 Nítorí pé àwọn mẹ́ta ni ó ń jẹ́rìí.
For there are three who testify:
8 Ẹ̀mí, omi, àti ẹ̀jẹ̀: àwọn mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta sì wà ni ìṣọ̀kan.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
9 Bí àwa ba ń gba ẹ̀rí ènìyàn, ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run tóbi jù: nítorí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ni èyí pé, Ó tí jẹ́rìí ní ti Ọmọ rẹ̀.
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 Ẹni tí ó bá gba Ọmọ Ọlọ́run gbọ́, ó ni ẹ̀rí nínú ara rẹ̀; ẹni tí kò bá gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́, ó ti mú un ni èké; nítorí kò gba ẹ̀rí náà gbọ́ tí Ọlọ́run jẹ́ ní ti Ọmọ rẹ̀.
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 Ẹ̀rí náà sì ni èyí pé Ọlọ́run fún wa ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, ìyè yìí sì ń bẹ nínú Ọmọ rẹ̀. (aiōnios g166)
The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Ẹni tí ó bá ni Ọmọ, ó ni ìyè; ẹni tí kò bá sì ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run, kò ní ìyè.
He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.
13 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni mo kọ̀wé rẹ̀ sí yín, àní sí ẹ̀yin tí ó gba orúkọ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run gbọ́; kí ẹ̀yin lè mọ̀ pé ẹ̀yin ní ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, àní fún ẹ̀yin tí ó gba orúkọ Ọmọ Ọlọ́run gbọ́. (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 Èyí sì ni ìgboyà tí àwa ní níwájú rẹ̀, pé bí àwa bá béèrè ohunkóhun gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, ó ń gbọ́ tí wa.
This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
15 Bí àwa bá sì mọ̀ pé ó ń gbọ́ tí wa, ohunkóhun tí àwa bá béèrè, àwa mọ̀ pé àwa rí ìbéèrè tí àwa ti béèrè lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbà.
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 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá rí arákùnrin rẹ̀ tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú, òun yóò béèrè, Ọlọ́run yóò sì fún un ni ìyè, àní, fún àwọn tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan ń bẹ sì ikú, èmi kò wí pé ki òun gbàdúrà fún èyí.
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 Gbogbo àìṣòdodo ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kan ń bẹ tí kì í ṣe sí ikú.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
18 Àwa mọ̀ pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí a bí nípa ti Ọlọ́run kì í dẹ́ṣẹ̀: ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí a bí nípa tí Ọlọ́run a pa ara rẹ̀ mọ́, ẹni búburú kò ní lè fọwọ́ kàn án.
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 Àwa mọ̀ pé tí Ọlọ́run ni wá, àti gbogbo ayé ni ó wà lábẹ́ agbára ẹni búburú náà.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 Àwa sì mọ̀ pé Ọmọ Ọlọ́run dé, ó sì tí fi òye fún wa, kí àwa lè mọ ẹni tí í ṣe òtítọ́, àwa sì ń bẹ nínú ẹni tí í ṣe òtítọ́, àní, nínú Ọmọ rẹ̀, Jesu Kristi. Èyí ni Ọlọ́run òtítọ́, àti ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (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 Ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, ẹ pa ara yín mọ́ kúrò nínú òrìṣà.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
