1 Yohane 1
1 Yɛrekyerɛw mo afa Nkwa Asɛm a ɛwɔ hɔ fi mfiase; nea yɛate, nea yɛde yɛn ani ahu, nea yɛhwɛe na yɛde yɛn nsa kae, eyi ne Nkwa Asɛm a yɛreka ho asɛm no.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--
2 Nkwa no daa ne ho adi; yɛahu na yɛadi ho adanse, na yɛka nkwa a enni awiei a na ɛwɔ Agya no nkyɛn na wɔada no adi akyerɛ yɛn no kyerɛ mo. (aiōnios g166)
the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
3 Yɛkaa nea yehui na yɛtee no kyerɛɛ mo nso, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo ne yɛn bɛyɛ adedifo wɔ ɔdɔ a yɛne Agya no ne Ɔba Yesu Kristo wɔ no mu.
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Yahushua the Messiah.
4 Yɛrekyerɛw eyi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn anigye bewie pɛyɛ.
And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
5 Afei, eyi ne asɛm a yɛate afi ne Ba no nkyɛn a yɛrebɔ mo amanneɛ. Onyankopɔn yɛ hann a sum nni ne mu koraa.
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that YHWH is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 Na sɛ afei yɛka se yɛne no wɔ ayɔnkofa na saa bere koro no ara mu yɛte sum mu a, na yɛredi atoro wɔ yɛn nsɛm ne yɛn nneyɛe mu.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 Na sɛ yɛte hann mu sɛnea ɔte hann mu no a, ɛno de na yɛne yɛn ho yɛn ho wɔ ayɔnkofa, na ne Ba Yesu no mogya tew yɛn ho fi bɔne nyinaa ho.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yahushua the Messiah His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Sɛ yɛka se yenni bɔne a, na yɛdaadaa yɛn ho, na nokware no nni yɛn mu.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Sɛ yɛka yɛn bɔne kyerɛ Onyankopɔn a, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo ne ɔtreneeni sɛ ɔde yɛn bɔne bɛkyɛ yɛn, na watew yɛn ho afi nea ɛnte nyinaa ho.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Sɛ yɛka se yɛnyɛɛ bɔne a, yɛma Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtorofo a nʼAsɛm no nni yɛn mu.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
