1 John 3
1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Toh i irin son wa anota, du ba yo ta ti mri Irji naki ki hei a hei naki gbugbulu na toh ta na. Naki ba na to Iti a na iftift ikpe bari bi didima u” bi Greeku' nisein ba toh da gran ya da ki hei ifga.
2 Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
Kpukpamu ki mri Irji zizan ba riheiu gran yada ki hei ki toh inde yesu a ye kita me ki hei ki toh inde yesu a ye kita me ki hei na wawu hei ki toh naki yada a hei.
3 and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Indi wa a si yo shishi ni ua ka gla kpama na wa wu hei.
4 Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
Indi wa a si lahtre a si ti kpe wa a na didima na don lahtre hi kpe meme.
5 and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
Bi toh ba shile kristi rju du ye ban lahtre mbu rhu ni ta wu naki ni u' kena lahtre na heina.
6 everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
Ba ndi wa ani hei ni 'u' da si ta lahtre. Ba ndi wa sita latre da tre me di wawu to'o ko a yemen ni wu.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
Imir na yeim du dio grue yi na ndi wa a si ti kpe didima a hi ndi didi na wa kristy a didi ma.
8 he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
Indi wa a si ti latre a rji ni brji, don ibrji latre rji ni mumla, Na ki u' ba shile vre Irji rhu du ye kpa du brji ti meme.
9 everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
Indi wa ba grji rji ni Irji ana si ti lahtre na, domin ibin u' Irji a hei ni u' ana la lah tre na, don ahe gjri u rji.
10 In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
Na ki mri Irji baba mri ibrji ba shile ba, indi wa ana tikpe didima na ana rji ni Irji na du ni indi wa ani kran vayi ma.
11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
I wa hi imbe wa bi woh ni mumla ki yemen kpa mbu.
12 not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
Kina ti na kayinu na wa a rji ni brji da wu vayi ma ani tu gye awu? don idu ma ana u'brji u vayi ma ka didima.
13 Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
Mri vayi na ti “mamaki” na, inde gbugbulu ni kran yi.
14 we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
Ki toh ki rju ni mi ique idi ri na rai don ki san mri vayi.
15 Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
Indi wa ana son vayi ma na, a hi u wu ndi bi toh bi wu ndi ba na hei ni re u tutrun ni wu na. (aiōnios g166)
16 in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
Na ki ki toh son wa kristi ka tu ma no ba wu don kita. Kita me ki ka tumbu no domin mri vayi.
17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
Du ndi wa ahei ni kpi bi gbugbulu yi, da toh vayi ma ni mi yah da na zo u na, yaya itre Irji ni he ni u?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
Mri mu ki na ta tre ki yemen mir vayi ni yun kuklu na ki ti ni mi suron jaji.
19 And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
Na ki ki toh di ki rji ni jaji, naki ki kpayemen ni suron mbu ni u.
20 because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
Inde suron mbu kashe ta, Irji zan suron mbu da toh kpi ba wawu.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
Kaunatatu, inde suron mbu na kashe ta na, ki ka hei ni gbengbenlen ni Irji.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
Du ikpe wa ki mie ki kpa ni u' don ki zi itre ma di ni ti kpe wa ani nu kikla suron
23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
I wa yi hi tre ma ki ka kpayemen ni vre ma yesu kristi di son kpa mbu na wa no ta tre ma.
24 and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
Indi wa azi tre Irji a hei ni Irji u Irji hei ni ndia. Naki ki toh di a hei ni ta ni mi Ruhu tsatsarka da a nota.
