1 Yohana 3
1 Toh i irin son wa anota, du ba yo ta ti mri Irji naki ki hei a hei naki gbugbulu na toh ta na. Naki ba na to Iti a na iftift ikpe bari bi didima u” bi Greeku' nisein ba toh da gran ya da ki hei ifga.
Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God. Because of this the world does not know you, because it did not know him.
2 Kpukpamu ki mri Irji zizan ba riheiu gran yada ki hei ki toh inde yesu a ye kita me ki hei ki toh inde yesu a ye kita me ki hei na wawu hei ki toh naki yada a hei.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
3 Indi wa a si yo shishi ni ua ka gla kpama na wa wu hei.
And every man who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that man is pure.
4 Indi wa a si lahtre a si ti kpe wa a na didima na don lahtre hi kpe meme.
Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
5 Bi toh ba shile kristi rju du ye ban lahtre mbu rhu ni ta wu naki ni u' kena lahtre na heina.
And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin.
6 Ba ndi wa ani hei ni 'u' da si ta lahtre. Ba ndi wa sita latre da tre me di wawu to'o ko a yemen ni wu.
Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.
7 Imir na yeim du dio grue yi na ndi wa a si ti kpe didima a hi ndi didi na wa kristy a didi ma.
Little children, let no man lead you astray. He who is doing righteousness is righteous, just as that man is righteous.
8 Indi wa a si ti latre a rji ni brji, don ibrji latre rji ni mumla, Na ki u' ba shile vre Irji rhu du ye kpa du brji ti meme.
He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Indi wa ba grji rji ni Irji ana si ti lahtre na, domin ibin u' Irji a hei ni u' ana la lah tre na, don ahe gjri u rji.
Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
10 Na ki mri Irji baba mri ibrji ba shile ba, indi wa ana tikpe didima na ana rji ni Irji na du ni indi wa ani kran vayi ma.
By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.
11 I wa hi imbe wa bi woh ni mumla ki yemen kpa mbu.
Because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love each other.
12 Kina ti na kayinu na wa a rji ni brji da wu vayi ma ani tu gye awu? don idu ma ana u'brji u vayi ma ka didima.
Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right.
13 Mri vayi na ti “mamaki” na, inde gbugbulu ni kran yi.
Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Ki toh ki rju ni mi ique idi ri na rai don ki san mri vayi.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death.
15 Indi wa ana son vayi ma na, a hi u wu ndi bi toh bi wu ndi ba na hei ni re u tutrun ni wu na. (aiōnios g166)
Every man hating his brother is a man-killer. And ye know that no man-killer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Na ki ki toh son wa kristi ka tu ma no ba wu don kita. Kita me ki ka tumbu no domin mri vayi.
By this we know love, because that man laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 Du ndi wa ahei ni kpi bi gbugbulu yi, da toh vayi ma ni mi yah da na zo u na, yaya itre Irji ni he ni u?
But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 Mri mu ki na ta tre ki yemen mir vayi ni yun kuklu na ki ti ni mi suron jaji.
My little children, we should not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 Na ki ki toh di ki rji ni jaji, naki ki kpayemen ni suron mbu ni u.
And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him.
20 Inde suron mbu kashe ta, Irji zan suron mbu da toh kpi ba wawu.
Because if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Kaunatatu, inde suron mbu na kashe ta na, ki ka hei ni gbengbenlen ni Irji.
Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God,
22 Du ikpe wa ki mie ki kpa ni u' don ki zi itre ma di ni ti kpe wa ani nu kikla suron
and whatever we may ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do things pleasing in his sight.
23 I wa yi hi tre ma ki ka kpayemen ni vre ma yesu kristi di son kpa mbu na wa no ta tre ma.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.
24 Indi wa azi tre Irji a hei ni Irji u Irji hei ni ndia. Naki ki toh di a hei ni ta ni mi Ruhu tsatsarka da a nota.
And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit that he gave us.
