< Yohanes 1 5 >
1 Ame sia ame si xɔe se be Yesue nye Kristo la la, wodzii tso Mawu me, eye ame sia ame si lɔ̃a Fofo la la, lɔ̃a Via hã.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.
2 Esiae nye ale si míenyana be míelɔ̃a Mawu Viwo: to Mawu lɔlɔ̃ kple eƒe seawo dzi wɔwɔ me.
In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 Esiae nye lɔlɔ̃ na Mawu: be woawɔ eƒe seawo dzi, elabena eƒe sewo mesesẽ o.
For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
4 Elabena ame si wodzi le Mawu me la ɖu xexea me dzi. Míaƒe xɔsee nye nu si ɖu xexea me dzi.
For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.
5 Ame kae nye ame si ɖu xexea me dzi? Ame si xɔe se be Yesue nye Mawu Vi la koe.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Yesu Kristoe nye ame si va to tsi kple ʋu me. Meva to tsi me ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ to tsi kple ʋu me. Eye Gbɔgbɔ lae le ɖase ɖim le nu sia ŋu, elabena Gbɔgbɔ lae nye nyateƒe la.
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.
7 Ame etɔ̃e li, ame siwo le ɖase ɖim le dziƒo: Fofo la, Nya la kple Gbɔgbɔ kɔkɔe la, eye ame etɔ̃ siawo le ɖeka.
And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.
8 Eye ame etɔ̃ siawo le ɖase ɖim le anyigba dzi, woawoe nye Gbɔgbɔ la, Tsi la kple Ʋu la, eye wo katã ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi le ɖeka.
And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.
9 Míexɔa amegbetɔwo ƒe ɖaseɖiɖiwo, ke Mawu ƒe ɖase si wòɖi le Via ŋu la de ŋgɔ sãa wu esiawo.
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.
10 Eya ta ame sia ame si xɔa Mawu Vi la dzi sena la ɖia ɖase le eƒe dzi me. Eye ame si mexɔa Mawu dzi se o la, ewɔ Mawu aʋatsokalae, elabena mexɔ ɖase si Mawu ɖi le Via ŋu la dzi se o.
He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
11 Ke ɖaseɖiɖi lae nye esi be Mawu na agbe mavɔ mí, eye agbe mavɔ sia le Via me. (aiōnios )
And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. (aiōnios )
12 Ame si si Vi la le la agbe le esi, eye ame si si Mawu Vi la mele o la, agbe mele esi o.
He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.
13 Mele nu siawo ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi ame siwo xɔ Mawu Vi la ƒe ŋkɔ dzi se la, ale be mianya be agbe mavɔ le mia si. (aiōnios )
These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios )
14 Kakaɖedzi sia le mía si le tete ɖe Mawu ŋu me, be ne míebia nu si sɔ ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu dzi la, eɖoa to mí.
And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.
15 Eye ne míenyae be eɖoa to mí la, ekema nu sia nu si míebiae la, míenyae be míaƒe asi su edzi xoxo.
And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.
16 Ne ame aɖe kpɔ be ye nɔvi wɔ nu vɔ̃ si ƒe fetu menye ku o la, nedo gbe ɖa, ale be Mawu naxɔe ɖe agbe. Mele esia gblɔm ku ɖe ame siwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ mehea ku vanɛ o la ŋuti. Nu vɔ̃ aɖe li si hea ame yia ku me, menye nu vɔ̃ sia tɔgbe ƒe nya gblɔm mele o.
He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
17 Nu gbegblẽ wɔwɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi nye nu vɔ̃, gake nu vɔ̃ aɖewo li siwo mehea ame yia ku mee o.
All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.
18 Minyae kɔtɛe be ne wodzi ame aɖe tso Mawu me la, meganɔa nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi atraɖii o; Mawu Vi la ŋutɔ kpɔa eta be wònɔna dedie, eye Vɔ̃ɖitɔ la metea ŋu kaa asi eŋu o.
We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
19 Míenyae be Mawu viwoe míenye, eye be xexea me blibo la le vɔ̃ɖitɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ te.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.
20 Míenyae hã be Mawu Vi la va, eye wòna nugɔmesese mí, ale be míanye eya ame si nye nyateƒea. Míele nyateƒea si nye Via Yesu Kristo la me. Eyae nye nyateƒe Mawu kple agbe mavɔ la. (aiōnios )
And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. (aiōnios )
21 Vinye lɔlɔ̃awo, miɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa le legbawo gbɔ.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
