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 sons, this I write to you, so that you may not sin. But if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One.
2 Wa wu yi ni wur latre mbu laga ana'u mbu ni klembu na u gbugbu wawu.
And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world.
3 Kitoh di ki ye toh idan ki u tre ma.
And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments.
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.
Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Indi wa a grji trema jaji hei wu ni Irji. Na yi ki toh di ki hei tare ni wu.
But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.
6 Indi wa a tre di wa wu hei ni. Irji ka zre na wawu a zre a.
Whoever declares himself to remain in him, ought to walk just as he himself walked.
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.
Most beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word, which you have heard.
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
Then too, I am writing to you a new commandment, which is the Truth in him and in you. For the darkness has passed away, and the true Light is now shining.
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.
Whoever declares himself to be in the light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness even now.
10 Indi wa a ni yiem vayi ma ahei ni mi kpan, ama kub zah na.
Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause of offense 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 whoever hates his brother is in the darkness, and in darkness he walks, and he does not know where he is going. For the darkness has blinded his eyes.
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, little sons, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of 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 known him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, adolescents, because you have overcome the evil one.
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 am writing to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I am writing to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and 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.
Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity 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.
For all that is in the world is the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the arrogance of a life which is not of the Father, but is 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 is passing away, with its desire. But whoever does the will of God abides unto eternity. (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 sons, it is the last hour. And, as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have arrived. By this, we know 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 among us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, certainly they would have remained with us. But in this way, it is made manifest that none of them are of us.
20 Bi hei ni anointing u rji ni tsa tsra ka bi toh wa wu bi.
Yet you have the anointing of the Holy One, and you know everything.
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 written to you as to ones who are ignorant of the truth, but as to ones who know the truth. For no lie is of the truth.
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 a liar, other than he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and 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.
No one who denies the Son also has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son, also 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.
As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you, too, shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Me han kpi bi yi yiwu du bari gru ye yi you ni nkon meme ma na.
I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you.
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.
But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you. For his Anointing teaches you about everything, and it is the truth, and it is not a lie. And just as his Anointing has taught you, abide in him.
28 Zizan mri son naki chachu wa aye ki hei ni gbengbenlen, ana shan ni tita niye ma na.
And now, little sons, abide in him, so that when he appears, we may have faith, and we may not be confounded by him at his advent.
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 know that he is just, then know, too, that all who do what is just are born of him.
