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, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the 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 g166)
and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested 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.
that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
4 Míele esia ŋlɔm ɖo ɖe mi be miaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nade blibo.
and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
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.”
And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not 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 may say — 'we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk — we lie, and do not 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.
and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light — we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse 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 may say — 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, 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.
if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every 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 may say — 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
