1 Jan 2
1 Pitit mwen yo, m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a pou nou pa fè peche. Men, si yon moun rive fè peche, nou gen yon avoka k'ap plede pou nou bò kot Papa a: Se Jezikri, moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye a.
My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
2 Paske, Jezikri te ofri tèt li tankou bèt yo ofri bay Bondye, pou Bondye te ka padonnen peche nou yo, pa peche pa nou yo ase, men peche tout moun tou.
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 Si nou fè sa Bondye mande nou fè, lè sa a nou mèt sèten nou konnen li.
And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Lè yon moun di: mwen menm, mwen konn Bondye, epi pou anmenmtan an li pa fè sa Bondye mande l' fè a, moun sa a se yon mantò. Verite a pa nan li.
He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Men, moun ki obeyi pawòl Bondye a, se moun sa a ki konmanse renmen Bondye tout bon vre. Men ki jan nou ka konnen nou fè yonn ak Bondye:
But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.
6 Lè yon moun di li fè yonn ak Bondye, se pou l' viv tankou Jezi te viv la.
He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.
7 Mezanmi, se pa yon kòmandman tou nèf m'ap ban nou nan lèt sa a. Se menm ansyen kòmandman yo te ban nou depi nan konmansman an. Ansyen kòmandman sa a, se menm pawòl nou te tande deja a.
Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.
8 Men, nan yon sans, se yon kòmandman tou nèf m'ap ban nou la a. Nou wè kòmandman sa a se yon bagay k'ap aji tout bon nan lavi Kris la ak nan lavi pa nou tou, paske fènwa a ap pase, limyè tout bon an gen tan ap klere.
Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.
9 Moun ki di yo nan limyè epi pou anmenmtan yo rayi frè yo, moun konsa nan fènwa toujou.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Se moun ki renmen frè yo ki nan limyè a. Konsa, pa gen anyen nan yo ki ka fè yon lòt tonbe nan peche.
He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.
11 Men, moun ki rayi frè yo, yo nan fènwa toujou. Y'ap mache nan fènwa, yo pa konnen kote yo prale, paske fènwa a rann yo avèg.
But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Timoun mwen yo, m'ap ekri nou paske Bondye padonnen peche nou yo poutèt Jezikri.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 M'ap ekri nou, nou menm granmoun, paske nou konnen moun ki la depi nan konmansman an. M'ap ekri nou, nou menm jennmoun, paske nou kraze dyab la. M'ap ekri nou, nou menm timoun, paske nou konn Papa a.
I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
14 M'ap ekri nou, nou menm granmoun, paske nou konnen moun ki la depi nan konmansman an. M'ap ekri nou, nou menm jennmoun, paske nou gen anpil fòs: nou kenbe pawòl Bondye a nan kè nou, nou kraze dyab la.
I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Pa renmen lemonn, ni anyen ki soti nan lemonn. Si yon moun renmen lemonn, li pa gen renmen pou Papa a nan kè li.
Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 Bagay ki soti nan lemonn se egzijans lachè, se gwo tanta, se lògèy k'ap vire tèt moun lè yo gen anpil byen sou latè. Tou sa pa soti nan Papa a. Se nan lemonn sa soti.
For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Se pase lemonn ap pase, ansanm ak tou sa moun jwenn ladan l' yo ta vle genyen. Men, moun ki fè sa Bondye vle, y'ap viv pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
18 Pitit mwen yo, dènye jou a pa lwen rive. Nou tande yo te di nou moun k'ap goumen ak Kris la gen pou vini. Men koulye a, se yon bann moun ki kanpe pou konbat Kris la. Se sa ki fè nou konnen dènye jou a pa lwen rive ankò.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19 Moun sa yo pa t' avèk nou tout bon, se poutèt sa yo kite nou. Si yo te avèk nou tout bon, yo ta toujou rete la avèk nou. Men, yo kite nou pou tout moun ka wè aklè yo yonn pa t' avèk nou tout bon.
They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us.
20 Pou nou menm, nou te resevwa Sentespri Kris la te voye sou nou an, konsa nou tout nou konn verite a.
But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 Si m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, se pa paske nou pa konn verite a non. Men, okontrè, se paske nou konnen li. Paske nou konnen pa gen manti ki ka soti nan verite a.
I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Kilès k'ap bay manti la a? Se moun ki di Jezi pa Kris la. Moun sa a, se goumen l'ap goumen ak Kris la. Li voye ni Papa a ni Pitit la jete.
Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.
23 Moun ki voye Pitit la jete, li voye Papa a jete tou. Moun ki rekonèt Pitit la, li rekonèt Papa a tou.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.
24 Se poutèt sa, pawòl nou te tande depi nan konmansman an, kenbe li nan kè nou. Si nou kenbe sa nou te tande depi nan konmansman an nan kè nou, n'ap toujou fè yonn ak Papa a ansanm ak Pitit la.
As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
26 M'ap ekri nou tou sa poutèt moun k'ap chache twonpe nou yo.
These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you.
27 Pou nou menm, Kris la te voye Sentespri a sou nou. Toutotan Sentespri a nan kè nou, nou pa bezwen pesonn moutre nou anyen, paske Sentespri a ap moutre nou tout bagay. Sa l'ap moutre nou an se verite, se pa manti. Se poutèt sa, ann fè sa Sentespri a ap moutre nou, ann toujou fè yonn ak Kris la.
And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.
28 Wi, pitit mwen yo, ann toujou fè yonn ak Kris la. Konsa, lè Kris la va parèt, n'a gen konfyans. Wi, jou la vini an, nou p'ap wont devan l', yo p'ap kapab voye nou jete byen lwen li.
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming.
29 Nou konnen Kris la se yon moun ki te mache dwat devan Bondye. Se pou nou konnen tou, tout moun ki fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye se pitit Bondye yo ye.
If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.
