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.
Diidi mani U Tienu n bua ti maama, lan fidi k ban yin ti o bila! T gɔ li tie mɔ. ŋanduna ya ki ban ti, kelima b k ban o.
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;
N ŋuankaaba, mɔlane ti ji tie U Tienu bila i, k tin bua ya tie yaaba da ki legdi(dɔgd), ti baa naani yen o, kelima wan li naadi, ti ba la o yeni.
3 and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Yua n pia li dandanli, o ŋani nani wan ŋani maama yeni.
4 Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
Yua tie biid, k cɔln U Tienu maama, k t biid tienma tie U Tienu maama yema.
5 and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
I bani ki jesu ba ki bua piini ti biidi, o naa gɔ pia tagiliba kuli.
6 everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
Yua ga o maama ji kan tieni biidi, yua tien biidi, o k la o, k gɔ k ban o.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
A bila, nul n da bond i. Yua maadi i mɔni, mɔn nani wani mɔ n mɔn maama yeni.
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;
Yua tie biidi, tie sitaani yua i, kelima hali mi cilima yogunu, sitaan tie biidaano. U Tienu bijua cua ki bua wan biidi sitaani tuona.
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.
Yua mal(ga) U Tienu nni, o ji kan tieni biid, kelima o ye yeni U Tienu yanfuoma, k o ji kan fidi ki tieni biidi, kelima U Tienu tie o baa i.
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,
Li kani ki t bu bandi U Tienu yeni sitaani bila. Yua ki tuagi i maamɔni sanu yen yua n k bua o ninjua, k tie U Tienu biga.
11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
Kelima yin den cili ki gbadi yaali, li tie k ti ya bua ti lieba.
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.
K da naani yeni kayen yua den tie nibiigu, k kpa o ninjua. Be ya po i k o den kpa o? Kelima o tuona den bii, k o ninjua tuona ŋani.
13 Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
N naataani lan da lid i, li ya tie ki ŋanduna yie i.
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.
Ti bani ki ti ñani mi kuuma yo, ki ji pia li miali, ki dugni tin bua ti lieba yen po. Yua ki bua o lieba ye mi kuuma nni.
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)
Yua ki bua o lielo tie nikpalo, ki bani ki nikpalo ki pia miakangbenli. (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;
O buama po i, k o cabi o miali ti po, yeni k ti mɔ bi lu ti miali ti naataani po.
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?
Li ya tie k nul pia ŋanduna ne piama, k nan nua k o ninjua ye mabli nni, k o kan tod o, be wangi k o pia U Tienu buama?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
N bid, t buama n da tie nɔbun nni yen lanbu po ka, ama lan ya tie ti tuona nni yen i mɔni.
19 And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
L kani k ti baa bandi yeni i mɔni tin ie yaaba, k ti pala n ya pa o po.
20 because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
Li ya tie k tin tien yaali mabndi ti pala, t ban k U Tienu yabi ki cie ti pala, k o gɔ bani bonli kuli.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
N bibuadi, li sua ki ti tuona ki mabndi ti, ti pia li papaali U Tienu kani.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
Tin miadi yaali kuli ti laadi, kelima ti cɔnlni o yikonba k gɔ tiendi o buama.
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,
O yiko n ne: tin ya daani o bijua jesu yeli po, ki bua ti lieba nani o yikonba n wangi ti maama.
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.
Yua cɔln U Tienu lanbona, o tie o yua i, k o ye yen o; ki ti bani k o ye yeni ti k dugni o fuoŋanma yaali k o tien ti.
