Yohanes 1 1
1 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.
It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.
2 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)
And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 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.
It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Míele esia ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi be miaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nade blibo.
And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
5 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.”
This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.
6 Ne míegblɔ be míebɔa ha kplii, gake míegale viviti me zɔm la, ekema míenye alakpatɔwo, eye míele nyateƒe la dzi wɔm o.
If we say, "We have partnership with Him," when we are passing our life in the darkness, we are lying and are not doing the truth.
7 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.
But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.
8 Ne míegblɔ be nu vɔ̃ mele mía ŋuti o la, ekema míele mía ɖokuiwo blem, eye nyateƒea mele mía me o.
If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 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.
But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.
10 Ne míele gbɔgblɔm kokoko be míewɔ nu vɔ̃ o la, ekema míedo eya amea alakpatɔe, eye eƒe nya mexɔ aƒe ɖe mía me o.
If we say, "We have not sinned," we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us.
