1 João 5

Tō Tātou Wikitōria e Taea ai te Ao

1 Ko ngā tāngata katoa e whakapono ana ko Īhu te Karaiti, kua whānau i te Atua. Ko ngā tāngata katoa anō hoki e aroha ana ki te pāpā, e aroha ana anō ki tāna whānau. 2 Mā konei tātou ka mātau ai e aroha ana tātou ki ngā tamariki a te Atua, mā te mea ka aroha tātou ki te Atua, ka pupuri anō i āna ture. 3 Ko te aroha hoki tēnei ki te Atua, kia pupuri tātou i āna ture; ehara hoki āna ture i te mea taimaha. 4 Ko ngā mea katoa hoki kua whānau i te Atua e kaha ana i te ao. Ko te wikitōria hoki tēnei e taea ai te ao, ko tō tātou whakapono. 5 Ko wai i kaha i te ao? Ehara ianei i te tangata e whakapono ana ko Īhu te Tama a te Atua?

Te Whakaatu mō Īhu Karaiti

6 Ko ia tēnei i haere mai nei i runga i te wai, i te toto, ko Īhu Karaiti; ehara i te mea i runga i te wai anake, engari i runga i te wai, i te toto. Ko te Wairua hoki te kaiwhakaatu, he pono hoki te Wairua. 7 Tokotoru hoki ngā kaiwhakaatu i te rangi, ko te Matua, ko te Kupu, ko te Wairua Tapu; kotahi anō ēnei tokotoru. 8 Tokotoru hoki ngā kaiwhakaatu, i te whenua, ko te Wairua, ko te wai, ko te toto; kotahi anō tō rātou tokotoru. 9 Ki te whakaae atu tātou ki tā ngā tāngata whakaatu, he nui kē tā te Atua whakaatu. Ko tā te Atua whakaatu hoki tēnei, kua whakaaturia nei e ia mō tāna Tama. 10 Ko te tangata e whakapono ana ki te Tama a te Atua, kei roto i a ia te whakaatu. Ko te tangata kāhore e whakapono ki te Atua, he whakateka tāna ki a ia; nō te mea kāhore ia i whakapono ki te whakaatu i whakaaturia mai nei e te Atua mō tāna Tama. 11 Ko te whakaatu hoki tēnei, arā kua hōmai e te Atua ki a tātou te ora tonu; kei roto anō i tāna Tama tēnei ora. 12 Ko te tangata kei a ia te Tama, kei a ia anō te ora; ko te tangata kāhore nei i a ia te Tama a te Atua, kāhore i a ia te ora.

Te Ora Tonu

13 I tuhituhia atu ai e ahau ēnei mea ki a koutou, kia mātau ai koutou kei a koutou te ora tonu, arā ki a koutou e whakapono nei ki te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua. 14 Ko tō tātou māia anō tēnei ki a ia, nā, ki te īnoia e tātou tētahi mea i a ia, tāna i pai ai, ka whakarongo, mai ia ki a tātou. 15 Ki te mea hoki ka mātau tātou e whakarongo ana ia ki tā tātou e īnoi ai, ka mātau tātou kei a tātou ngā mea i īnoia e tātou i a ia.

16 Ki te mea ka kite tētahi i tōna teina e hara ana, hāunga te hara e mate ai ia, me īnoi ia, ā, e hōmai he ora ki a ia mō te hunga ehara nei tō rātou i te hara e mate ai. Tērā anō te hara e mate ai; e kore ahau e mea kia īnoi ia mō tērā. 17 He hara ngā hē katoa; tēnei anō tētahi hara ehara nei i te mea e mate ai.

18 E mātau ana tātou, nā, ko te tangata kua whānau ai te Atua kāhore e hara; engari ka tiaki te tangata kua whānau i te Atua i a ia anō, e kore hoki te wairua kino e pā ki a ia.

19 E mātau ana tātou nō te Atua tātou, kei te takoto hoki te ao katoa i roto i te wairua kino.

20 Nā, e mātau ana anō tātou kua tae mai te Tama a te Atua, kua hōmai e ia ki a tātou he mātauranga, kia mōhio ai tātou ki a ia, ki te mea pono; kei roto anō hoki tātou i a ia, i te mea pono, arā i tāna Tama, i a Īhu Karaiti. Ko te Atua pono tēnei, ko te ora tonu.

21 E āku tamariki nonohi, kia tūpato koutou ki ngā whakapakoko.

1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2 Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. 5 And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. 7 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son. 11 And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. 16 If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

18 We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we 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. 21 My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
