< 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.
We declare to you that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we watched, and our hands have touched, concerning 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 )
The life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you this eternal life which 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.
That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you may also have fellowship with us. Truly our fellowship 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 to you so that your joy may be full.
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 which we have heard from Him and declare to you: that God is light and in Him 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 that we have fellowship with Him, but walk in darkness, we lie and don’t do what is true.
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 Christ, 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 that we don’t sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth isn’t 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 admit to our sins, He is faithful and with righteous justice forgives us our sins and cleanses 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 claim that we haven’t sinned, we call Him a liar, and His word isn’t in us.
