< 1 Uyohana 1 >
1 Ige me sa ya rani datti utuba, ige sa ta kunna, ti iri ina aje aru, ti guguzuno, ti dari in tari turu, abanga atize ti ivai.
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
2 Abanga ivai igino me apoki ani barki ti iri, ti cukuno unu rusa, ti buu shi tize ti ivai igbem, igesa ira ahira aco, ti ge me sa a bukin duru. (aiōnios )
(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios )
3 Imumu gebe sa ta kunna ti kuri ti iri, ine ini ti boo shi, barki shi cangi itarsi duru kadure utarsa uru ugino me nan ka coo ani, avana umeme Yesu.
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Ta nyertike shini, barki iriba irum iru me i myinca.
And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
5 Tize me ta zigeme sa ta kunna ahira ameme, ine ini ti boo shi Asere masaa mani, maree mara ahira ameme ba kocin.
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Ingi ta guna haka nan me ti kur ti ciki anyimo maree, macico mani ti zini, ti da boo kadure ba.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
7 Ingi ti ciki a masaa kasi sa me mazi masaa, ti zi nigome, maye ma vana umeme Yesu ma kpici madini maru.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 Ingi ta guna tizon duru in madini apum aru ba, ti ranga ace, kadure kazo me anyimo aru.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Ingi ta poko madini Asere ma zome in ma'aye ba, mazini iriba isheu, madi kpicin duru madini maru vat.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Ingi ta guna da ta wuza imumu imadini ba, ta kurzo me una macico, tize ta Asere ti zoo me ahira aru.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
