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 sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous.
2 Se Li menm ki sakrifis ekspiyatwa a pou peche nou yo, non sèlman pou nou, men pou tout lemonn lan.
For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world.
3 Se konsa nou konnen ke nou gen tan konnen Li, si nou kenbe kòmandman Li yo.
And by this we shall be sensible 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.
For he that saith, I know him, and doth 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 he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this 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, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings.
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.
My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and 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 is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear.
9 Sila ki di ke li nan limyè a, men rayi frè l se nan tenèb la jiska prezan.
Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in 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 in him is no stumbling.
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 darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he 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, ye 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 write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one.
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, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished 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 any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father 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, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.
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, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure 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, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time.
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.
From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us.
20 Men nou menm gen lonksyon lan ki sòti nan Sila ki Sen an, epi nou tout konnen sa.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person.
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 because no falsehood 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 false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.
23 Sila ki demanti Fis la pa gen Papa a. Sila ki konfese Fis la, anplis, gen Papa a.
And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth 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.
And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son.
And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Bagay sa yo mwen te ekri nou konsènan sa yo ki ta eseye pase nou nan desepsyon.
And these things I have written to you, on account of 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 ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye 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, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance 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 also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.
