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.
This letter is about the Word of Life which existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our very own eyes and gazed upon, and which our hands have touched.
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 g166)
This Life was revealed to us; we saw it and give evidence about it. We are telling you about the one who is Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
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.
What we have seen and heard we are now explaining to you, so that you may also share in this friendship together with us—this friendship that 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're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness 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.
This is the message we received from him and that we declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him 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 claim to share this friendship with him and yet go on living in darkness, we're lying, and not living in 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 are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.
8 Inde kitre di ki na lahtre na kisi qrue tumbu, u jaji na hei ni suron mbu na.
If we claim to be sinless we only fool 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.
But if we confess our sins, he is trustworthy and right so that he can forgive us our sins and make us clean from all that is not right in us.
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 claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
