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 am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the righteous one.
2 Se Li menm ki sakrifis ekspiyatwa a pou peche nou yo, non sèlman pou nou, men pou tout lemonn lan.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 Se konsa nou konnen ke nou gen tan konnen Li, si nou kenbe kòmandman Li yo.
By this we can be sure 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.
Whoever says, “I know him” but 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, truly in him the love of God has been perfected. 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.
Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk just 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.
Brothers, I am not writing you a new commandment, but an old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message you have heard from the beginning.
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.
Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 Sila ki di ke li nan limyè a, men rayi frè l se nan tenèb la jiska prezan.
Whoever says he is in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
10 Sila ki renmen frè li se nan limyè a, epi pa gen kòz pou chite tonbe nan li.
Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause 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 whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness; he 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 am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of his name.
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 am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I am writing to you, 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 men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides 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 or the things in the world. If anyone loves 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.
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father, but from 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 along with its lusts, but whoever does the will of God abides 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.
Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last 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 remained with us. But they went out so that it might be revealed that they do not 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 a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.
23 Sila ki demanti Fis la pa gen Papa a. Sila ki konfese Fis la, anplis, gen Papa a.
No one who denies the Son has 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.
Therefore let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is what he has promised us—eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Bagay sa yo mwen te ekri nou konsènan sa yo ki ta eseye pase nou nan desepsyon.
I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive 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.
But the anointing you received from him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But the same anointing teaches you about all things; it is true, not a lie. So, just as it has taught you, you must 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, little children, abide in him, so that when he is revealed we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame when he comes back.
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 who practices righteousness has been born of him.
