1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
Nu si li tso xexea me ƒe gɔmedzedze ke, nu si ŋkɔ míese, eye míekpɔ. Nu si míekpɔ kɔtɛe kple míaƒe ŋkuwo, eye míawo ŋutɔ míeka asi eŋu la, eya ƒe nya míele gbeƒã ɖem na mi be eyae nye Agbenya la.
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios g166)
Agbe sia do, míekpɔe, míeɖia ɖase le eŋuti, eye míeɖea gbeƒã agbe mavɔ si le Fofoa gbɔ, eye wòdze na mí la na mi. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
Míeɖea gbeƒã nu si míekpɔ kple nu si míese la na mi be miawo hã miado ƒome kpli mí, eye míaƒe ƒomedodo sia li kple Fofo la kple Via Yesu Kristo.
4 And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Míele esia ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi be miaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nade blibo.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Azɔ la, esia nye gbedeasi si míese tso egbɔ, eye míele gbeƒã ɖemi na mi be, “Mawue nye kekeli, eye viviti aɖeke mele eme kura o.”
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
Ne míegblɔ be míebɔa ha kplii, gake míegale viviti me zɔm la, ekema míenye alakpatɔwo, eye míele nyateƒe la dzi wɔm o.
7 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.
Ke ne míezɔ le kekeli me abe ale si eya hã le kekeli me ene la, ekema míebɔ ha kple mia nɔewo, eye Yesu Kristo si nye Via ƒe ʋu aklɔ míaƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe ɖa le mía ŋuti.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Ne míegblɔ be nu vɔ̃ mele mía ŋuti o la, ekema míele mía ɖokuiwo blem, eye nyateƒea mele mía me o.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Gake ne míeʋu míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo me la, ekema Mawu si nye nuteƒewɔla kple dzɔdzɔetɔ la atsɔ míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mí, eye wòaklɔ madzɔmadzɔnyenye katã ɖa le mía ŋuti.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Ne míele gbɔgblɔm kokoko be míewɔ nu vɔ̃ o la, ekema míedo eya amea alakpatɔe, eye eƒe nya mexɔ aƒe ɖe mía me o.
