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 manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us—that, children of God, we should be called, —and such we are! Therefore, the world understandeth us not, because it understood not 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, are we, children of God; and, not yet, hath it been made manifest, what we shall be, —We know that, if it should be made manifest, like unto him, shall we be, because we shall see him, just as he is.
3 Indi wa a si yo shishi ni ua ka gla kpama na wa wu hei.
And, whosoever hath this hope on him, is purifying himself, just as, He, is pure.
4 Indi wa a si lahtre a si ti kpe wa a na didima na don lahtre hi kpe meme.
Whosoever is committing sin, lawlessness also, is committing, 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, He, was made manifest—in order that, our sins, he should take away, and, sin, in him, is there none.
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.
Whosoever, in him, doth abide, is not sinning: whosoever is sinning, hath not seen him, and doth not understand 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.
Dear children! Let, no one, lead you astray! He that is doing righteousness, is, righteous, just as, He, 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 that is committing sin, is, of the adversary, because, from the beginning, the adversary is sinning. To this end, was the Son of God made manifest, in order that he might undo the works of the adversary.
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.
Whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing, sin, because, a seed of him, within him, abideth; and he cannot be committing sin, because, of God, hath he been born.
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.
Herein, are, manifest, the children of God, and the children of the adversary: Whoever is not doing righteousness, is not of God, nor yet he that is not loving his brother.
11 I wa hi imbe wa bi woh ni mumla ki yemen kpa mbu.
Because, this, is the message which ye have heard from the beginning—that we should be loving one another, —
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 just as, Cain, was, of the wicked one, and slew his brother! And, for what cause, slew he him? Because, his works, were, wicked, whereas, those of his brother, were, righteous.
13 Mri vayi na ti “mamaki” na, inde gbugbulu ni kran yi.
Be not marveling, brethren, if, the world, is hating you:
14 Ki toh ki rju ni mi ique idi ri na rai don ki san mri vayi.
We, know, that we have passed over out of death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not, abideth 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)
Whosoever is hating his brother, is, a murderer; and ye know that, no murderer, hath life age-during, within him abiding. (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.
Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down.
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, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him?
18 Mri mu ki na ta tre ki yemen mir vayi ni yun kuklu na ki ti ni mi suron jaji.
Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
19 Na ki ki toh di ki rji ni jaji, naki ki kpayemen ni suron mbu ni u.
Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
20 Inde suron mbu kashe ta, Irji zan suron mbu da toh kpi ba wawu.
Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
21 Kaunatatu, inde suron mbu na kashe ta na, ki ka hei ni gbengbenlen ni Irji.
Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards 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, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.
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 be loving one another—just as he gave a commandment unto us.
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 that keepeth his commandments, in him, abideth, and, he, in him. And, hereby, perceive we, that he abideth in us, by reason of the Spirit which, unto us, he hath given.
