1 Uyohana 3
1 Ira nin usu me sa aco aru me ma bezin duru, bati atitin duru ahana Asere, y a cukuno ane ani atisan duru, ine ini ya wuna une uda rusan duru ba, barki uda rusa me ba.
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
2 Shi ahana iriba im, ana me daki amu poko imum me sa tizi ba. Ti rusa ingi Ugomo Asere ma aye tidi cukuno gusi meme, tidi iri me uzina umeme.
Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
3 Vat desa mazin ini iriba ini kara barki imum me i'eze in naje ma cukuno lau gusi meme.
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
4 Vat desa mare aje uni wuza imum iburi, ma game tize ta Asere tini, barki uwuza imum iburi unyarime Asere uni.
Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
5 I rusa Yesu ma'e barki ma kari imum iburi ini, ahira ameme imum iburi izome ni.
But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
6 Vat desa ma ciki anyimo ameme, mada wuza me imum iburi ba, da mamu ira me ba, mada taame me ba.
No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
7 Shi ahana iriba im, kati i hem uye ma rangi shi, desa ma wuza imum ihuma, unu uhuma mani usanzi Uyesu.
Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
8 Vat desa ma wuza imum iburi me vana ubibe bizen-zen mani, barki datti utuba unu uburi mamu unu wuza imum iburi mani. Ane ani vana Asere Yesu ma'e barki ma cari katuma ka unu uburi.
The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
9 Desa mazi vana Asere mani, mada wuza me imum iburi ba, barki bisana bi meme bi ciki anyimo ame mada wuza me imum iburi barki me vana Asere mani.
Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10 Bisana bi Ugomo Asere nan bi unu buri bida zo me unu hunne me ba. Desa mada wuza me imum iriri ba, mada zoo me wa Asere ba, nani desa ma nyari me uhenu ume me. Anyimo
By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
11 Kadura ka zigine me sa ya kunna datti unu tuba, i canti nihenu memeru.
This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
12 Kati i cukuno kasi Kayinu sa mazi vana uburi, d esa ma huu uhenu umeme, nyanini ya wuu ma huu me? Barki katuma ka maree, ku uhenu umeme karizi.
Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
13 Kati i gamari mu riba, nihenu ingi une wa gaa shi.
So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Na ti rusi tamu aka iwono, uhana uvengize barki unyara uni henu, desa mada nyara me nihenu ba ma ciki ticukum ti wono tini.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ane ani ti rusa nihenu, kasi ahira iriba isheu Yeso ma nya nice nime ma wi barki haru. Ca haru cangi ti nya ace arunbarki anu henu aru.
By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 Vat desa ma zin ini mum itari ma hira uhenu unu zati imum ma impo aje barkinkatti ma benki uhenume. Adi wu aneni agu ma rusa Asere?
If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?
18 Shi ahana iriba im, kati ibezi i nyara nihenu in na nyo cas, bezi ni we anyimo atuma nan kadure.
Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
19 A'ana me ani tidi bezi kadure karu, ti kuri ti hem in acce aru ahira Asere.
And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
20 Barki ingi muriba muru ma reki duru, Asere atekin duru ma kuri marusan inko nyani.
Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
21 Shi anu tarsa um, ingi daki muriba muru ma rekin duru ba tidi ha ahira Asere unu hem uru.
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
22 Tidi kem vat imum me sa ta iko ahira ameme, barki ti tarsa tize ti meme, ta kuri ti ti wuza imum me sa ma nyara.
and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
23 U'inko utize Ugomo Asere wazigenne me vat unu tarsa ume ma hem invana umeme Yeso, ti kuri ti hem ina ce aru kasi ubuka Asere.
And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
24 Vat unu tarsa utize ta Asere ma ciki anyimo ameme ani. Ana ani ta tinka ma raa anyimo aru, barki bibe biriri sa ma nya duru.
Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
