1Ko ia ia ʻoku tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu, kuo fanauʻi ia ʻi he ʻOtua: pea ko ia fulipē ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia ʻoku ne fakatupu, ʻoku ʻofa foki ia kiate ia kuo tupu meiate ia.
1Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
2Ko eni ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau ʻofa ki he fānau ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi heʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, mo e fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau.
2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3He ko eni ʻae ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ko e tau fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau: pea ʻoku ʻikai fakamamahi ʻa ʻene ngaahi fekau.
3For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
4He ko ia kotoa pē kuo fanauʻi ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku ne ikuna ʻa māmani: pea ko eni ʻae mālohi ʻoku ne ikuna ʻaki ʻa māmani, ko ʻetau tui.
4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
5Ko hai ia ʻoku ne ikuna ʻa māmani, ka ko ia ʻoku tui ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Sisu?
5Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6Ko eni ia naʻe haʻu ʻi he vai mo e toto, ʻa Sisu Kalaisi; ʻikai ʻi he vai pe, kae ʻi he vai mo e toto. Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie, he ʻoku moʻoni ʻae Laumālie.
6This 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.
7He ʻoku ai ʻae toko tolu ʻi he langi ʻoku fakamoʻoni, ko e Tamai, mo e Folofola, pea mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻoku taha pe ʻae toko tolu ni
7For there are three who testify:
8Pea ʻoku ai ʻae tolu ʻi māmani ʻoku fakamoʻoni, ko e Laumālie, mo e vai, pea mo e toto: pea ʻoku kau fakataha ʻae tolu ni.
8the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
9Kapau ʻoku tau tali ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoe tangata, ʻoku lahi hake ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua: he ko eni ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia kuo ne fakahā ki hono ʻAlo.
9If 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.
10Ko ia ʻoku tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻiate ia pe ʻae fakamoʻoni: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ke tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻoku ne lohiakiʻi ia; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke tui ia ki he fakamoʻoni ʻaia kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua ki hono ʻAlo.
10He 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.
11Pea ko eni ʻae fakamoʻoni, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae moʻui taʻengata kiate kitautolu, pea ko e moʻui ni ʻoku ʻi hono ʻAlo.
11The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻAlo, ʻoku ne maʻu mo e moʻui; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻae moʻui.
12He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
13Kuo u tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu ʻoku tui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae moʻui taʻengata, pea ke mou tui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.
13These 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.
14Pea ko eni ʻae mālohi ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu kiate ia, koeʻuhi, katau ka kole ha meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻakitautolu:
14This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
15Pea kapau ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻakitautolu, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tau kolea, ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku tau maʻu ʻae ngaahi kole naʻa tau holi ai kiate ia.
15And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
16Kapau ʻe mamata ʻe ha taha ki he fai ʻe hono tokoua ha angahala ʻoku ʻikai ki he mate, pea ʻe kole ia, pea te ne foaki ʻae moʻui kiate ia maʻanautolu ʻoku angahala kae ʻikai ki he mate: ʻoku ʻikai te u pehe ke ne lotua ia.
16If 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.
17Ko e taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ko e angahala ia: pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae angahala ʻoku ʻikai ki he mate.
17All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
18ʻOku tau ʻilo, ko ia kotoa pē kuo fanauʻi ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai angahala ia; ka ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he ʻOtua ʻoku ne taʻofi ia ʻe ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai alasi ia ʻe he tokotaha kovi ko ia.
18We 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.
19ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻae ʻOtua ʻakitautolu, ka ʻoku tokoto ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi he tokotaha kovi.
19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20Pea ʻoku tau ʻilo kuo haʻu ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo ne foaki ʻae ʻilo kiate kitautolu, ketau ʻiloʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku moʻoni, pea ʻoku tau ʻiate ia ʻoku moʻoni, ʻi hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ko eni ʻae ʻOtua moʻoni, mo e moʻui taʻengata.
20We 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.
21ʻAe fānau ʻofeina, taʻofi ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi tamapua. ʻEmeni.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
