1 Yohana 5
1 Indi wa akpa yiem di yesu a kristi bagrji u rji ni Irji inde di wa a kpayiem ni ti'a naki ani yiem ni vre wa ba grji ni u.
Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God. And whoever loveth the begetter, loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 Ahe naki ki toh di ki kpayiem mri Irji inde ki yiem ni Irji di zi tre ma.
And by this we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and follow his commandments.
3 Naki wa yi a yiem u'Irji: wa ki yiem ni tre ma kuma itre ma ba na u' di'na.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.
4 Du ndi wa ba grji rji ni Irji ani zan gbengbenlen gbugbulu. Nakima hi nasara wa a zan gbengbenlen gbugbulu wato jaji bu.
Because, whoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith.
5 Ahi wu han wa a zan gbengbenlen gbugbulu'a? Ahi ndi wa a kpa yeim di yesu a vre Irji.
For who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Wa yi i, hi wa aye ni ma mba yin Yesu kristi aye ni ma ni kangrji na, ama ni ma ba yin.
This is he who came by the water and the blood. Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit testifieth; because the Spirit is truth.
7 A baba tra wa ba kpa yiem:
For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.
8 Ni Ruhu ni ma u ni yin. Bi yi tra ba ti yaje jeniya ni kpa mba. Ifiift Greek bi sen ba han kpi didima.
And there are three witnesses, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are in union.
9 Inde ki kpa jaji u ndi, jaji u Irji a zan wayi hi testimony u' Irji wa a kpa yeim ni vre ma.
If we receive the testimony of men, how much greater is the testimony of God? And this is the testimony of God, which he hath testified concerning his Son.
10 Du ndi wa a kpayeim ni vre Irji ahei ni testimony ni suron ma indi wa ana kpayeim ni Irji na a kma u'ti ndi u' che don ana kpayeim ni testimony wa Irji no nitu vre ma na.
Whoever believeth in the Son of God, hath this testimony in himself. And whoever believeth not God, hath made him a liar, by not believing the testimony which God hath testified concerning his Son.
And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us life eternal, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Indi wa ahei ni vre'a ahei ni rei. Indi wa ana hei ni vre Irji na ana hei ni rei na.
Every one that taketh hold of the Son, taketh hold of life; and every one that taketh not hold of the Son, hath not life.
13 Mi han kpie bi i ni yu'u du yi toh di bi hei ni rei u' tutrun ni ndi wa kpa yeim ni de vre Irji. (aiōnios g166)
These things have I written to you, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, ye who believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Wa yi hi gbengbenlen wa ki hei ni u, du ikpie wa ki miye wa hei di di ni mere ma ani woh ta.
And this is the confidence that we have towards him, that whatever we ask of him, agreeably to his will, he heareth us.
15 Naki inde ki toh dani wota ko ahi gye ki miye, ki ka toh di ikpie wa ki miye ki kpa ye.
And if we are persuaded that he heareth us respecting what we ask of him, we are confident of receiving presently the petitions which we asked of him.
16 Inde ndi'a atoh vayi si ti latre wa ana tsra u' que na, wa ka bre Irji ni no rei, me gomace ni bi wa latre mba na kai u que na, Lahtre ri hei wa atsra u que, mina tre di du bre nitu kima na.
If any one shall see his brother sin a sin which doth not deserve death, he shall ask, and life will be given him, to them I say who sin not as unto death. For there is a sin of death; and I do not say of this, that a man should pray for it.
17 Dukikpie u' meme ma a lahtre na ki lahtre wa ana tsra'u que na.
For all iniquity is sin; and there is a sin which is not of death.
18 Kitoh du ndi wa ba grji'u rji ni Irji ana ti lahtre na. Naki u wa ba grji rji ni Irji gyegyere u bi ibrji na iya da ti u meme na.
And we know, that every one who is born of God, sinneth not: for he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.
19 Ki toh di kita ki rji ni Irji kuma kitoh di gbugbulu wawu ahei ni mi gbengbenlen bi brji.
We know, that we are of God; and all the world is reposing on the evil one.
20 Na ki ki to di ver Rji ye buh shishi ni ta u di wa yi hi jaji, ki hei ni wu wa wu hi hi jaji ni mi ver ma Yesu kristi. Iwayi yi a Rji u jaji u son kibo (tutrun). (aiōnios g166)
And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
21 Imir na cib hi ni bi birji na
My children, keep yourselves from idolatry.
