1 Jan 2
1 Pitit mwen yo, m ap ekri nou bagay sa yo pou nou pa peche. Si nenpòt peche nou gen yon avoka avèk Papa a, Jésus Kri sila ki dwat.
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 Se Li menm ki sakrifis ekspiyatwa a pou peche nou yo, non sèlman pou nou, men pou tout lemonn lan.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Se konsa nou konnen ke nou gen tan konnen Li, si nou kenbe kòmandman Li yo.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 Sila ki di “Mwen gen tan konnen Li,” men pa kenbe kòmandman Li yo, se yon mantè, epi laverite a pa nan li.
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Men nenpòt ki kenbe pawòl Li, nan li lamou Bondye a vrèman gen tan vin konplete. Men ki jan nou konnen ke nou se nan li:
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Sila ki di ke l ap reste nan Li ta dwe, li menm, mache menm jan ke Li te mache.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 Byeneme yo, mwen p ap ekri yon kòmandman nèf a nou, men yon ansyen kòmandman ke nou te gen depi kòmansman an. Lansyen kòmandman an se pawòl a ke nou te tande depi kòmansman an.
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
8 Sou lòt men, m ap ekri nou yon kòmandman nèf, ki se vrè nan Li, epi nan nou, paske tenèb la ap pase, epi vrè limyè a ap briye deja.
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
9 Sila ki di ke li nan limyè a, men rayi frè l se nan tenèb la jiska prezan.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 Sila ki renmen frè li se nan limyè a, epi pa gen kòz pou chite tonbe nan li.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Men sila ki rayi frè li se nan tenèb la, epi mache nan tenèb la. Li pa konnen kote l ap w ale, paske tenèb la fin fè l avèg.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 M ap ekri nou, ti moun yo, paske peche nou yo gen tan padonnen pou kòz a non Li.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 M ap ekri nou, papa yo, paske nou konnen Li ki te la depi kòmansman an. M ap ekri nou jenn nonm yo, paske nou te vin gen viktwa la sou sila ki mechan. Mwen te ekri nou ti moun yo, paske nou konnen Papa a.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 Mwen te ekri nou, papa yo, paske nou konnen Li ki te la depi kòmansman a. Mwen te ekri nou jenn nonm yo paske nou gen fòs, epi pawòl Bondye a reste nan nou, epi nou te vin gen viktwa sou sila ki mechan.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Pa renmen lemonn, ni bagay yo ki nan lemonn. Si nenpòt renmen lemonn, lamou Papa a pa reste nan li.
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 Paske tout sa ki nan lemonn lanvi lachè a, lanvi nan zye yo, ak lògey lavi la pa sòti nan Papa a, men nan lemonn sa.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 Men lemonn an disparèt avèk tout lanvi li yo, men sila ki fè volonte a Bondye ap viv jis pou janmen. (aiōn g165)
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Pitit yo, se dènye lè. Menm jan ke nou te tande ke antikris la ap vini menm koulye a anpil antikris yo gen tan leve. Pou sa, nou konnen ke se dènye lè.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 Yo te sòti pami nou, men yo pa t vrèman nan nou, paske si yo te nan nou, yo t ap rete avèk nou. Men yo te sòti jis pou li ta kapab vin klè ke yo pa nan nou.
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 Men nou menm gen lonksyon lan ki sòti nan Sila ki Sen an, epi nou tout konnen sa.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 Mwen pa t ekri nou akoz nou pa konnen verite a, men paske nou konnen li, epi akoz ke okenn manti pa janm sòti nan laverite a.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Kilès k ap manti, sòf ke li menm ki demanti ke Jésus se Kris la. Sila se antikris la, sila ki refize Papa a ansanm ak Fis la.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Sila ki demanti Fis la pa gen Papa a. Sila ki konfese Fis la, anplis, gen Papa a.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Pou nou menm, kite sa demere nan nou ke nou te tande depi kòmansman an. Si sa nou te tande depi kòmansman an demere nan nou, nou va osi reste nan Fis la, ak Papa a.
As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Bagay sa yo mwen te ekri nou konsènan sa yo ki ta eseye pase nou nan desepsyon.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Epi pou nou menm, lonksyon ke nou te resevwa a Li demere nan nou, epi nou pa gen bezwen pou pèsòn enstwi nou; men lonksyon Li enstwi nou nan tout bagay. Li se verite, epi pa janm nan manti, menm jan ke li te enstwi nou, demere nan Li.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
28 Epi koulye a, ti moun yo, reste nan Li, jis pou lè L vin parèt, nou kapab gen konfyans epi pa vin piti ak wont lè Li vini.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Si nou konnen ke Li dwat nèt, nou konnen osi ke tout moun ki pratike ladwati a se ne a Li.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
