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.
See what great love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of God! The reason the world does not know you is that 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 what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when he appears, 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.
Everyone who places this hope in him purifies 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.
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; 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.
But you know that he appeared in order to take away our sins, and in him there 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.
No one who abides in him continues in sin; no one who continues in sin has either seen him or 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 one deceive you. Whoever practices 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.
Whoever practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to 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.
No one who has been born of God continues in sin, because God's seed abides in him; he cannot continue in sin, because he has been born 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 and the children of the devil are revealed: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
11 I wa hi imbe wa bi woh ni mumla ki yemen kpa mbu.
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love 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.
We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil, but the deeds of his brother were righteous.
13 Mri vayi na ti “mamaki” na, inde gbugbulu ni kran yi.
Do not be surprised, 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 from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love his 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)
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer 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, that he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our 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?
If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need but closes his heart against 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, let us not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth.
19 Na ki ki toh di ki rji ni jaji, naki ki kpayemen ni suron mbu ni u.
By this we know that we are of the truth and can reassure our hearts before him:
20 Inde suron mbu kashe ta, Irji zan suron mbu da toh kpi ba wawu.
If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.
21 Kaunatatu, inde suron mbu na kashe ta na, ki ka hei ni gbengbenlen ni Irji.
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before 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 receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what is 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 believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded.
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.
Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. And we know that he abides in us because of the Spirit he has given us.
