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 dear children, these things I write to you, that ye should not sin. And if any of us sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 Wa wu yi ni wur latre mbu laga ana'u mbu ni klembu na u gbugbu wawu.
and he himself is the propitiatory victim for our sins: and indeed not for ours only, but for the whole world.
3 Kitoh di ki ye toh idan ki u tre ma.
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep 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.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and in him the truth is not.
5 Indi wa a grji trema jaji hei wu ni Irji. Na yi ki toh di ki hei tare ni wu.
But whosoever keepeth his word, verily in him is the love of God perfected: 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.
He who saith that he abideth in him, ought as he walked, even so himself to walk.
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.
Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
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, a new commandment I write unto you, which is a true thing in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, 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.
He who saith, that he is in the light, yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Indi wa a ni yiem vayi ma ahei ni mi kpan, ama kub zah na.
He that loveth his brother is in the light, and occasion of stumbling in him there is none.
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 that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he is departing, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Mi si han ni yu'u mri, ba wur lahtre mbi hie ni yu'u ni tu de ma.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
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 write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known 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 written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked 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.
Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love 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.
For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, 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, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth 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.
My dear children, it is the last hour; and as ye have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists: by which we know 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; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they departed, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us:
20 Bi hei ni anointing u rji ni tsa tsra ka bi toh wa wu bi.
though ye have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
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 because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that 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 the liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? This man is the antichrist, who denieth 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.
Every one that denieth the Son, neither doth he hold the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, holdeth the Father also.
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.
Let that abide in you therefore which ye have heard from the beginning. If that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he hath promised to us, even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Me han kpi bi yi yiwu du bari gru ye yi you ni nkon meme ma na.
These things have I written unto you concerning those who are leading you astray.
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 the unction which ye have received from him abideth in you; and ye need not that any person should instruct you. But as the same unction teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie; and as it hath 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, my dear children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be put to shame by 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 ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is born of him.
