1 Yohana 2
1 Mri, mi si han kpi biyi ni yu'u du yina lahtre na. Uri ni ta lahtre ki hei ni di u kpa wo mbu ni wo timbu, wato yesu christy wa wu di riri wa ana latre na.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:
2 Wa wu yi ni wur latre mbu laga ana'u mbu ni klembu na u gbugbu wawu.
He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.
3 Kitoh di ki ye toh idan ki u tre ma.
And by this we may be certain that we have knowledge of him, if we keep his laws.
4 Indi wa atre di wawu toh Irji da na hu tre ma na a hi di wu che u jaji na hei ni suron ma na.
The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him:
5 Indi wa a grji trema jaji hei wu ni Irji. Na yi ki toh di ki hei tare ni wu.
But in every man who keeps his word, the love of God is made complete. By this we may be certain that we are in him:
6 Indi wa a tre di wa wu hei ni. Irji ka zre na wawu a zre a.
He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.
7 Mir ya, mina si han tre sisa ma ni yu'u na ahi cihe tre wa bi woh rimumal chiche tre a hi tre wa bi wo'a.
My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.
8 Misi han tre sa ma ni yu'u wa a jaji ni mi kristi ni mi mbi me, don ibwu a zren ka si hi kpama. u kpan u jaji a si kpan
Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out.
9 Indi wa a tre di wawu hei ni mi kpan, da ni kran vayi ma ahei ni mi bwu, da si zre ni mi bwu har ni zizah.
He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.
10 Indi wa a ni yiem vayi ma ahei ni mi kpan, ama kub zah na.
He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.
11 Naki, i wa a nikra vayi ma ahei ni mi bwu da si zre ni mi bwu a na ton bubu wa a si hi na; don ibwu a ka shishi ma.
But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.
12 Mi si han ni yu'u mri, ba wur lahtre mbi hie ni yu'u ni tu de ma.
I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.
13 Mi si han ni yu'u bati dan bi yi bi toh wa ahei rji ni mumla, Mi si han ni yu'u mri ze don bi zan gbe ngbenlen ibrji, mi han ni yu'u mri don bi toh ti'a.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.
14 Mi riga nan ni yuwu ba ti don bi toh ndia rji ni mumla, Mi riga han ni yu'u mrize don bi hei ni gbengbenlen, u tre Irji a hei ni yi, na ki bi zan gbengbenlen bi me me dri.
I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.
15 Na kpayiem ni kpi gbugbulu na, ni kpi bi wa ba hei ni mi gbugbulu 'a indi wa a ni son gbugbulu, i son 'u Irji na ni 'u na.
Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Du ikpi bi wa ba hei ni mi gbugbulu, ba bi nma kpa ba vo shishi, ni bi kpa di tsri, nu zu tu ba na rji ni ti na ba rji ni gbugbulu.
Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.
17 Gbugbulun ni kpi bi wa a ni son ba si kle, indi wa a si ti du ni tre rji a ni son seisei nisei. (aiōn g165)
And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Imir itoh a ye 'u kle, na wa bi woh bi kran kristi ba si ye zizan gbugbu'u ba ye. Na ki bi ka toh di itoh ye kle.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.
19 Ba ryu ni mi mbu iki tsro di ba na hei ni ta na. Bana hei ni ta ba na san ni ta, da ba ni kpaba a tsro di bana hei ni ta na.
They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.
20 Bi hei ni anointing u rji ni tsa tsra ka bi toh wa wu bi.
And you have the Spirit from the Holy One and you all have knowledge.
21 Mi na han ni yuu di bina toh jaji na naki bi toh'o, iche na hei ni mi jaji na.
I have not sent you this letter because you have no knowledge of what is true, but because you have knowledge, and because that which is false has nothing in common with that which is true.
22 A hi gha hi ndi u'iche, a hi ndi wa ana kpayiem ni yesu da kristi na ndi ki ma hi wa ba kran yesu, wa ana toh ti'a mba ver a na.
Who is false but he who says that Jesus is not the Christ? He is the Antichrist who has no belief in the Father or the Son.
23 Indi wa ana yeini ni vre'a na a nato ti'a na. Indi wa a buh yun ma da kpa vre'a hei ni ti'a game.
He who has no belief in the Son has not the Father: he who makes clear his belief in the Son has the Father.
24 Naki iwu du kpi wa'u woh rji ni mumla krie ni'u inde kpi wa u woh rji ni mumla ahei ni wu, in u' wu hei ni vre ba tima game.
But as for you, keep in your hearts the things which were made clear to you from the first. If you keep these things in your hearts you will be kept in the Father and the Son.
And this is the hope which he gave you, even eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Me han kpi bi yi yiwu du bari gru ye yi you ni nkon meme ma na.
I am writing these things to you about those whose purpose is that you may be turned out of the true way.
27 Naki u' ikpie wa'u kpa ni wu ahei ni wu, wuna si wa indio du ye tsro u na du Ruhu ma wa wu kpa tsro kpe ba wawu wa ba jaji bana che na, ni yada a tsro u son ni'u na ki me.
As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you.
28 Zizan mri son naki chachu wa aye ki hei ni gbengbenlen, ana shan ni tita niye ma na.
And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming.
29 Inde wu toh da a hei ni kiklan suron, u ka toh di indi wa ani ti kpe wa a zizi ba grji di ki ma ni'u.
If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.
