< 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.
That which was from the beginning—which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched—it is about the Word of life.
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 )
Also, the life was made known, and we have seen it, and we bear witness to it. We are announcing to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and which has been made known to us. (aiōnios )
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.
That which we have seen and heard we declare also to you, so you also will have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Míele esia ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi be miaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nade blibo.
Also, we are writing these things to you so that our joy will 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 is the message that we have heard from him and are announcing to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
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 that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing 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 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 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 that 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, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
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 that we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.
