1 Yohana 5
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Kila mtu anayeamini kwamba Yesu ni Kristo, huyo ni mtoto wa Mungu; na, anayempenda mzazi humpenda pia mtoto wa huyo mzazi.
1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him.
2Hivi ndivyo tunavyojua kwamba tunawapenda watoto wa Mungu: Kwa kumpenda Mungu na kuzitii amri zake;
2By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.
3maana kumpenda Mungu ni kuzitii amri zake. Na, amri zake si ngumu,
3For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
4maana kila aliye mtoto wa Mungu anaweza kuushinda ulimwengu. Hivi ndivyo tunavyoushinda ulimwengu: kwa imani yetu.
4because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5Nani, basi, awezaye kuushinda ulimwengu? Ni yule anayeamini kwamba Yesu ni Mwana wa Mungu.
5Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6Yesu Kristo ndiye aliyekuja kwa maji ya ubatizo wake na kwa damu ya kifo chake. Hakuja kwa maji tu, bali kwa maji na kwa damu. Naye Roho anashuhudia kwamba ni kweli, kwani Roho ni ukweli.
6This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.
7Basi, wako mashahidi watatu:
7For there are three that testify:
8Roho, maji na damu; na ushahidi wa hawa watatu waafikiana.
8the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three are in agreement.
9Ikiwa twaukubali ushahidi wa binadamu, ushahidi wa Mungu una uzito zaidi; na huu ndio ushahidi alioutoa Mungu mwenyewe juu ya Mwanae.
9Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.
10Anayemwamini mwana wa Mungu anao ushahidi huo ndani yake; lakini asiyemwamini Mungu, anamfanya yeye kuwa mwongo, maana hakuamini ushahidi alioutoa Mungu juu ya Mwanae.
10Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.
11Na, ushahidi wenyewe ndio huu: Mungu alitupatia uzima wa milele, na uzima huo uko kwa Bwana.
11And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12Yeyote, aliye na Mwana wa Mungu anao uzima huo; asiye na Mwana wa Mungu, hana uzima.
12Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13Nawaandikieni mpate kujua kwamba mnao uzima wa milele ninyi mnaoamini kwa jina la Mwana wa Mungu.
13I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
14Na sisi tuko thabiti mbele ya Mungu kwani tuna hakika kwamba tukimwomba chochote kadiri ya mapenzi yake, yeye hutusikiliza.
14And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15Yeye hutusikiliza kila tunapomwomba; na kwa vile tunajua kwamba yeye hutusikiliza kila tunapomwomba, twajua pia kwamba atupatia yote tunayomwomba.
15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.
16Mtu akimwona ndugu yake ametenda dhambi isiyompeleka kwenye kifo anapaswa kumwombea kwa Mungu, naye Mungu atampatia uzima. Nasema jambo hili kuhusu wale waliotenda dhambi ambazo si za kifo. Lakini ipo dhambi yenye kumpeleka mtu kwenye kifo nami sisemi kwamba mnapaswa kumwomba Mungu kwa ajili ya hiyo.
16If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.
17Kila tendo lisilo adilifu ni dhambi, lakini kuna dhambi isiyompeleka mtu kwenye kifo.
17All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.
18Tunajua kwamba kila aliye mtoto wa Mungu hatendi dhambi, kwa sababu Mwana wa Mungu humlinda salama, na yule Mwovu hawezi kumdhuru.
18We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.
19Tunajua kwamba sisi ni wake Mungu ingawa ulimwengu wote unatawaliwa na yule Mwovu.
19We know that we are of God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.
20Twajua pia kwamba Mwana wa Mungu amekuja, akatupa elimu ili tumjue Mungu wa kweli; tuishi katika muungano na Mungu wa kweli—katika muungano na Mwanae, Yesu Kristo. Huyu ndiye Mungu wa kweli, na huu ndio uzima wa milele.
20And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may 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.
21Watoto wangu, epukaneni na sanamu za miungu.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
