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.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves him who has begotten also loves the one begotten of him.
2 Ahe naki ki toh di ki kpayiem mri Irji inde ki yiem ni Irji di zi tre ma.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep 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.
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome 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.
Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes 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 water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 A baba tra wa ba kpa yiem:
For there are three that testify:
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.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are in agreement.
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, we should know that the testimony of God is greater, because it is the testimony that God has given about 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 believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given about his Son.
And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life, 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.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have 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)
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life, and so that you may continue believing 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.
This is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears 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 know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have 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 anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray for him, and God will give him life. I refer to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that he should pray about that.
17 Dukikpie u' meme ma a lahtre na ki lahtre wa ana tsra'u que na.
All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to 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.
We know that no one who has been born of God continues in sin, but he who is born of God guards himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
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 from God, and that the whole world lies in the power of 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 has come and given us understanding so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Imir na cib hi ni bi birji na
Little children, guard yourselves from idols. Amen.
