I John 5

Tout moun ki rekonèt Jezi se Kris la, se pitit Bondye yo ye. Si ou renmen yon papa, se pou ou renmen pitit li tou.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Nou konnen nou renmen pitit Bondye yo lè nou renmen Bondye, lè nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

Nou renmen Bondye, lè nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè. Sa Bondye mande nou fè yo pa twò difisil pase sa.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Paske, depi se pitit Bondye ou ye, ou kapab genyen batay la sou lemonn. Men ki jan nou fè gengen batay la sou lemonn, se paske nou gen konfyans nan Bondye.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Ki moun ki ka genyen batay la sou lemonn? Se sèlman moun ki kwè Jezi se pitit Bondye a.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Jezikri se moun ki te vini an: li te vini ak dlo batèm lan ansanm ak san lanmò li a. Li pa t' vini ak dlo a sèlman, men li te vini avèk dlo ansanm ak san. Lespri Bondye a di se vre sa, paske Lespri Bondye a se verite a menm.

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

Gen yo twa k'ap di Jezi se moun ki te vini an.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Se Lespri Bondye a, se dlo a ansanm ak san an. Yo touletwa yo dakò.

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Nou asepte pawòl moun pou verite. Men, pawòl Bondye a pi bon toujou. Epi, sa se temwayaj Bondye bay pou Pitit li a.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

Konsa, moun ki gen konfyans nan Pitit Bondye a, se moun ki pran pawòl Bondye a pou verite epi ki kenbe l' nan kè yo. Men, moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Bondye, yo fè Bondye pase pou mantò, paske yo pa t' kwè pawòl Bondye te di sou Pitit li a se verite.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

Men pawòl verite a: Bondye ban nou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se nan Pitit li a li ban nou li.

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Moun ki gen Pitit la, yo gen lavi sa a tou. Men, moun ki pa gen Pitit Bondye a, yo pa gen lavi sa a non plis.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

M'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, nou menm ki kwè nan Pitit Bondye a pou nou ka konnen nou gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Se poutèt sa kè nou pa sote devan Bondye. Nou konnen l'ap koute nou si nou mande l' kichòy ki dakò ak volonte li.

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

Konsa, non sèlman nou konnen l'ap koute nou lè nou fè l' yon demann, men nou konnen tou l'ap ban nou sa nou mande l' la.

And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Si yon moun wè yon frè l' fè yon peche ki p'ap fè l' mouri, se pou l' lapriyè Bondye pou Bondye bay frè a lavi. Prensip sa a bon pou moun ki fè peche ki p'ap fè yo mouri. Men, gen yon kalite peche ki mennen yon moun tou dwat nan lanmò. mwen pa di pou yo lapriyè pou moun ki fè kalite peche sa yo.

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Tou sa ou fè ki mal, se yon peche. Men, se pa tout peche k'ap mennen ou nan lanmò.

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

Nou konnen depi yon moun pitit Bondye, li p'ap kontinye ap viv nan peche toujou. Paske, Pitit Bondye a ap veye sou li, Satan pa ka fè l' anyen.

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Nou konnen nou se moun Bondye. Men, tou sa ki sou latè anba pouvwa Satan.

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Nou konnen Pitit Bondye a te vini, li louvri lespri nou pou nou ka konnen Bondye tout bon an. N'ap viv ansanm ak Bondye tout bon an, gremesi Pitit li, Jezikri. Se li menm ki Bondye tout bon an, se li menm ki lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Pitit mwen yo, veye kò nou ak zidòl!

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
