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.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one, that loveth Him that begat, 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 in this we know that we love the children of God, since 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 grievous.
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 whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even our faith.
5 Ahi wu han wa a zan gbengbenlen gbugbulu'a? Ahi ndi wa a kpa yeim di yesu a vre Irji.
Who then is he that overcometh the world, but he who 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 that came by water and by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is truth.
7 A baba tra wa ba kpa yiem:
Yea there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
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 these three agree in one.
9 Inde ki kpa jaji u ndi, jaji u Irji a zan wayi hi testimony u' Irji wa a kpa yeim ni vre ma.
Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: 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.
He, that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
And the testimony is this, that God hath given to 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.
He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God 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, who believe on the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may the more firmly believe on 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, which we have towards Him, that if we ask any thing according 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 know that He heareth us in whatsoever we ask; we know that we shall have the petitions, which we have requested 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 see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.
17 Dukikpie u' meme ma a lahtre na ki lahtre wa ana tsra'u que na.
All unrighteousness indeed is sin, and yet there is a sin not unto 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 whosoever is born of God, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, and the wicked one doth 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 of God, and the whole world lieth under the wicked 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)
But we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and 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, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
