< 1 Yohana 1 >
1 A hei naki ni mumla, waki woh, di toh ni shi shi mbu di yah di ka wo mbu sa ni tu tre u tutrun.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.
2 Na ki ba du ta toh rei'a, i ki toh'o di kpayiem ni u. Kisi hla yuu tre rei u tutru wa a he ni ti mbu, wa ba tsro ta. (aiōnios )
And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. (aiōnios )
3 Ikpe wa ki toh di wo di hla ni yu'u, u'biyi me bi ka tu kabi ni ta. Shu bi mbu a hei ni ti ni vre yesu kristi.
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Na ki kita me kisi han kpi biyi ni yu'u, du kikla suron mbu cika gri ififga.
We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 Wa yi hi imbre wa kita ki woh jri ni'u ki hla ni yu'u, Irji hi kpan ni wu ibwu na hei na kofi.
And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 Inde kitre di ki katukabi ni'u; di ni zre ni mi bwu di ni ti che, ki na si bla tre 'u jaji na.
If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 Naki kita si zren ni mi kpan, na wa wu hei ni mi kpan, ki si katu mbu bi ha mire vayi, 'u' yin vre ma yesu ni kla ta ni milan tre wa wu.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Inde kitre di ki na lahtre na kisi qrue tumbu, u jaji na hei ni suron mbu na.
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Inde kihla la latre mbu rju ra wawu a hi jaji da wa ani gla ta ni mi latre mbu.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Inde ki tre di kina lahtre na, ki kma u ti ndi u'che, u'tre ma ana hei ni mi mbu na.
If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
