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 children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, 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 a propitiation 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.
And hereby 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.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not 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 keepeth his word, truly in him is the love of God perfected. Hereby 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 that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as 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 ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have 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, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him, and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shineth.
9 Sila ki di ke li nan limyè a, men rayi frè l se nan tenèb la jiska prezan.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10 Sila ki renmen frè li se nan limyè a, epi pa gen kòz pou chite tonbe nan li.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of 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 that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath 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, my children, because your sins have been 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 write to you, fathers, because ye know him that was from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, my children, because ye 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 ye know him that was from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye 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.
Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loveth the world, the love of the Father 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.
because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Men lemonn an disparèt avèk tout lanvi li yo, men sila ki fè volonte a Bondye ap viv jis pou janmen. (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (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.
My children, the last time is come; and as ye have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that the last time is come.
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 were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
20 Men nou menm gen lonksyon lan ki sòti nan Sila ki Sen an, epi nou tout konnen sa.
And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and 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 ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that 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 that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denieth 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 denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath also the Father.
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 which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also will abide in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he himself promised us, even the life everlasting. (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 seduce you.
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.
And the anointing which ye yourselves received from him abideth in you, and ye have no need that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is not a lie, even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide 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.
And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, 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 ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.
