1 John 5
1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Buli akkiriza nti Yesu ye Kristo, oyo aba mwana wa Katonda, era buli ayagala kitaawe w’omwana ayagala n’omwana we.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
Ku ekyo kwe tutegeerera nga twagala abaana ba Katonda, bwe twagala Katonda ne tukola by’atulagira.
3 For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
Kubanga okwagala kwa Katonda kwe kukola ebyo by’atulagira okukola. Okukola by’atulagira si kizibu,
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
kubanga buli mwana wa Katonda awangula ekibi n’okwegomba ensi, era kuno kwe kuwangula okwawangula ensi, kwe kukkiriza kwaffe.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Naye ani ayinza okuwangula ensi okuggyako oyo akkiriza nti Yesu Mwana wa Katonda?
6 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.
Yesu Kristo oyo yennyini ye yajja n’amazzi n’omusaayi, si na mazzi, naye n’amazzi n’omusaayi. Era ne Mwoyo ekyo akikakasa kubanga Mwoyo ye mazima.
7 For there are three who testify:
Waliwo okukakasa kwa mirundi esatu:
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’amazzi, n’Omusaayi, era ebisatu ebyo bikkiriziganya.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.
Obanga tukkiriza obujulirwa bw’abantu, obujulirwa bwa Katonda tusaana okubukkiriza ennyo n’okusingawo, kubanga bwe businga obukulu ng’ategeeza ku Mwana we.
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.
Kale buli akkiririza mu Mwana wa Katonda akyetegeezeza ddala ye yennyini. Oyo atakkiririza mu Katonda ng’amufudde mulimba, kubanga takkiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayogera ku Mwana we.
11 The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Era buno bwe bujulirwa nti: “Katonda yatuwa obulamu obutaggwaawo, era obulamu buno buli mu Mwana we.” (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
Buli alina Omwana alina obulamu, naye oyo atalina Mwana wa Katonda talina bulamu.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
Ebyo mbiwandiikidde mmwe abakkiriza erinnya ly’Omwana wa Katonda, mulyoke mumanye nti mulina obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
Noolwekyo tulina obuvumu nti bwe tugenda gy’ali ne tumusaba ekintu kyonna, ye nga bw’asiima atuwulira.
15 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.
Era bwe tutegeera nti atuwulira bwe tumusaba, buli kye tumusaba talema kukituwa.
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.
Omuntu yenna bw’alaba muganda we ng’agudde mu kibi ekitali kya kufa, amusabirenga, Katonda talirema kumuwa bulamu. Njogera ku abo bokka abagwa mu kibi ekitali kya kufa.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
Buli ekitali kya butuukirivu kibi, naye waliwo ekibi ekitaleetera muntu kufa.
18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.
Tumanyi nga buli muntu yenna azaalibwa Katonda teyeeyongera kukola kibi, kubanga Katonda amukuuma, Setaani n’atamukola kabi.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Tumanyi nga tuli ba Katonda, n’ensi yonna eri mu mikono gya Setaani.
20 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. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Era tumanyi ng’Omwana wa Katonda yajja mu nsi, n’atuwa okutegeera tumanye Katonda ow’amazima, era tuli mu oyo Katonda ow’amazima, ne mu Yesu Kristo Omwana we. Oyo ye Katonda ow’amazima n’obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Abaana abaagalwa, mwewalenga bakatonda abalala.
