< 1 John 5 >

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Mũndũ o wothe wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ aciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai, nake mũndũ o wothe wendete mũciari nĩendete o na mwana wake.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.
Ũũ nĩguo tũmenyaga atĩ nĩtwendete ciana cia Ngai: nĩ kwenda Ngai na kũhingia maathani make.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
Ũũ nĩguo kwenda Ngai: nĩ gwathĩkĩra maathani make. Namo maathani make ti maritũ,
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe mũciare nĩ Ngai nĩatooragia maũndũ ma thĩ. Naguo ũhootani ũrĩa ũtooretie maũndũ ma thĩ, nĩ gwĩtĩkia gwitũ.
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Nũũ ũcio ũtooragia maũndũ ma thĩ? Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Mũrũ wa Ngai.
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.
We nĩwe wokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ na thakame, o Jesũ Kristũ. We ndokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ moiki, no nĩwe wokire na ũndũ wa maaĩ na thakame. Nake Roho nĩwe mũira, tondũ Roho nĩwe ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma.
7 For there are three who testify:
Nĩgũkorwo aira nĩ atatũ (kũu igũrũ: nao nĩ Ithe witũ, na Ũhoro, na Roho Mũtheru; nao aya atatũ nĩ ũmwe. Gũkũ thĩ nakuo aira nĩ atatũ):
8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
nao nĩ Roho, na maaĩ, na thakame; nao acio atatũ nĩmaiguanĩte.
9 If we accept human testimony, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony that he has testified concerning his Son.
Angĩkorwo nĩtwĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ, ũira wa Ngai nĩ mũnene makĩria, tondũ nĩ ũira wa Ngai ũrĩa aheanĩte ũkoniĩ Mũriũ.
10 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.
Mũndũ wothe wĩtĩkĩtie Mũrũ wa Ngai arĩ na ũira ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake. Mũndũ wothe ũtetĩkĩtie Ngai nĩamũtuĩte wa maheeni, tondũ ndetĩkĩtie ũira ũrĩa mũheane nĩ Ngai ũkoniĩ Mũriũ.
11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us everlasting life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
Naguo ũyũ nĩguo ũira atĩ Ngai nĩatũheete muoyo wa tene na tene, naguo muoyo ũcio wĩ thĩinĩ wa Mũriũ. (aiōnios g166)
12 He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have God's Son does not have the life.
Ũrĩa ũrĩ na Mũriũ arĩ na muoyo; nake ũrĩa ũtarĩ na Mũrũ wa Ngai ndarĩ na muoyo.
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 everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Ndĩramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya inyuĩ arĩa mwĩtĩkĩtie rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũrũ wa Ngai, nĩgeetha mũmenye atĩ mũrĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene. (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.
Ũũmĩrĩru ũrĩa tũkoragwo naguo tũgĩkuhĩrĩria Ngai nĩ atĩ tũngĩhooya ũndũ o wothe kũringana na wendo wake-rĩ, we nĩatũiguaga.
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.
Na tũngĩmenya atĩ nĩatũiguaga, ũndũ-inĩ o wothe ũrĩa tũhooyaga-rĩ, nĩtũũĩ atĩ nĩatũheete ũndũ ũrĩa tũmũhooete.
16 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.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩona mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe agĩĩka rĩĩhia rĩrĩa rĩtangĩmũtwara gĩkuũ-inĩ, nĩahoe, nake Ngai nĩakamũhe muoyo. Ndĩraaria ũhoro wa andũ arĩa rĩĩhia rĩao rĩtarĩ rĩa kũmatwara gĩkuũ-inĩ. No nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩngĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ. Niĩ ndiroiga atĩ mũndũ ahooe nĩ ũndũ wa rĩhia ta rĩu.
17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
Ciĩko ciothe njũru nĩ mehia, no nĩ kũrĩ rĩĩhia rĩtangĩtwara mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ.
18 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.
Nĩtũũĩ atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai ndatũũraga ehagia; mũndũ ũrĩa ũciarĩtwo nĩ Ngai, ũcio nĩamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Ngai, nake ũrĩa mũũru ndangĩhota kũmwĩka ũũru.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ tũrĩ ciana cia Ngai, na tũkamenya atĩ thĩ yothe yathagwo na wathani wa ũrĩa mũũru.
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. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ningĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ Mũrũ wa Ngai nĩokĩte na nĩatũheete ũtaũku, nĩgeetha tũmũmenye ũrĩa arĩ we ũhoro wa ma. Na ithuĩ tũrĩ thĩinĩ wake ũcio ũrĩa arĩ we ũhoro wa ma, tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Mũrũwe Jesũ Kristũ. We nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa wa ma, na nowe muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Twana twakwa nyendete, mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei ngai cia mĩhianano.
