1 Yohani 5
1 Kila mundu mwaisadika kuvya Yesu ndi Kilisitu Msangula mundu mwenuyo ndi mwana wa Chapanga. Na kila mweakumugana dadi mewawa akumgana na mwana waki.
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.
2 Lijambu lenili ndi likutikita timanyayi kuvya tivaganili vana va Chapanga, ndi patikumugana Chapanga na kuyidakila mihilu yaki.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 Ndava kumugana Chapanga ndi kuyidakila mihilu yaki. Na mihilu yaki yitopa lepi,
For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
4 ndava kila mundu mweavi mwana wa Chapanga ihotola kugahotola mambu ga mulima uwu. Na tete tikuuhotola mulima kwa sadika yitu.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
5 Yani ihotola kugahotola mambu ga mulima? Ndi yula mweisadika kuvya Yesu ndi Mwana wa Chapanga.
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Yesu Kilisitu ndi mweabwelili kwa njila ya manji lukumbi lwa ubatizu na kwa ngasi peafwili. Abwelili lepi kwa njila ya manji ndu, nambu kwa manji na ngasi. Na Mpungu Msopi ijova aga ndi chakaka ndava ya Yesu muni Mpungu Msopi ndi mchakaka.
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 Hinu vavi vadatu vevijova uchakaka.
For there are three who testify:
8 Mpungu Msopi, manji na ngasi, na voha viyidakilana chindu chimonga.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
9 Tete tisadika lukumbi vandu vakutijovela gavagaweni ndi gala geijova Chapanga gitopa neju na Chapanga ijova chakaka kumvala Mwana waki.
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.
10 Ndi kila mundu mweakumusadika mwana wa Chapanga avinawu wenuwo uchakaka mumtima waki. Nambu mweangamsadika Chapanga akumukita Chapanga kuvya mdese, ndava asadiki lepi mambu geajovili Chapanga kumvala Mwana waki.
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.
11 Na uchakaka wene ndi uwu: Chapanga atipelili wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, na wumi wenuwo upatikana kwa Mwana waki. (aiōnios g166)
The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Mundu yoyoha mweavili na Mwana wa Chapanga avi na wumi wenuwo, na mundu mweavi lepi na Mwana wa Chapanga avi lepi na wumi wenuwo.
He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
13 Nivayandikili nambu mumanyayi kuvya muvinau wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, nyenye mwamukumsadiki Mwana wa Chapanga. (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 eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Lijambu lenili ndi likutikita timanya changali kuyogopa kuvya Chapanga akutiyuwanila, na tikamyupa chindu chochoha ngati cheigana akutiyuwana.
This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
15 Na tete tikamanyayi kuvya kila petiyupa akutiyuwana, ndi timanyi kuvya tipokela chochoha chatiyupa kwaki.
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 Ngati mundu yati akamlola mlongo waki ikita gakumbudila Chapanga gangamlongosa mulifwa, iganikiwa amyupilayi, na Chapanga yati akumupela wumi mundu mwenuyo, nilongela aga ndava ya vala vavihenga uhakau wangavalongosa mulifwa. Nambu kuvili kumbudila Chapanga kwekumlongosa mundu mulifwa nene nijova lepi myupa ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga kwenuko.
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.
17 Lijambu loloha langamganisa Chapanga, lenilo ndi lijambu la kumbudila Chapanga, nambu kuvili kumbudila Chapanga kwanga mlongosa mundu mulifwa.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
18 Timanyili kuvya kila mundu mweavili Mwana wa Chapanga iyendelela lepi kumbudila Chapanga, ndava muni Mwana wa Chapanga akumyunga na Muhakau ihotola lepi kumkita Chindu chochoha.
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.
19 Timanyi kuvya tete ndi tavana va Chapanga, na mulima woha ulongoswa na Muhakau.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 Tete timanyili kuvya Mwana wa Chapanga amali kubwela, na mwene ndi atikitili timmanya Chapanga wa chakaka. Na tete titama mukuwungana na Chapanga wa chakaka kwa njila ya kuwungana na Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu. Mwenuyu ndi Chapanga wa chakaka, na ndi wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Vana vangu, mujiyangalila mkoto kugundamila chimong'omong'o.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
