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, these things I write to you that you may not sin: and if anyone may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, [the] Righteous 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 ours, but also for the whole world,
3 Kitoh di ki ye toh idan ki u tre ma.
and in this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commands;
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 who is saying, “I have known Him,” and is not keeping His commands, 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.
and whoever may keep His word, truly the love of God has been perfected in him; in 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 is saying he remains in Him, himself ought to also walk according as He 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.
Beloved, I do not write a new command to you, but an old command, that you had from the beginning—the old command is the word that you 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 command I write to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines;
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 is saying he is in the light, and is hating his brother, he is in the darkness until now;
10 Indi wa a ni yiem vayi ma ahei ni mi kpan, ama kub zah na.
he who is loving his brother, he remains in the light, and there is not a stumbling-block 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 is hating his brother, he is in the darkness, and he walks in the darkness, and he has not known where he goes, because the darkness 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 to you, little children, because sins have been forgiven you 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 write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil [one]; I write to you, little youths, because you 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 wrote to you, fathers, because you have known Him who [is] from the beginning; I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains 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 love the world, nor the things in the world; if anyone loves 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 all that [is] in the world—the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of [one’s] 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 is passing away, and the desire of it, but he who is doing the will of God, he remains—throughout the age. (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 youths, it is the last hour; and even as you heard that the antichrist comes, even now antichrists have become many—whereby 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 forth out of us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out] so that they might be revealed that they are not all of us.
20 Bi hei ni anointing u rji ni tsa tsra ka bi toh wa wu bi.
And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known 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 did not write to you because you have not known the truth, but because you have known it, and because 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, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist who is denying 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.
everyone who is denying the Son, neither has the Father; he who is confessing the Son has 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.
You, then, that which you heard from the beginning, let it remain in you; if that which you heard from the beginning may remain in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father,
and this is the promise that He promised us—the continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Me han kpi bi yi yiwu du bari gru ye yi you ni nkon meme ma na.
These things I wrote to you concerning those 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.
and you, the anointing that you received from Him, it remains in you, and you have no need that anyone may teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, you will remain in Him.
28 Zizan mri son naki chachu wa aye ki hei ni gbengbenlen, ana shan ni tita niye ma na.
And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He may have appeared, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed 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 know that He is righteous, know that everyone doing righteousness, has been begotten of Him.
