1 Yohane 1
1 Yɛretwerɛ mo afa Nkwa Asɛm a ɛwɔ hɔ firi ahyɛaseɛ: Deɛ yɛateɛ, deɛ yɛde yɛn ani ahunu, deɛ yɛhwɛeɛ na yɛde yɛn nsa kaeɛ. Yei 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 for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life, —
2 Nkwa no daa ne ho adi no, yɛhunuiɛ. Ɛno enti, yɛka ho asɛm kyerɛ mo, ɛne nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ a na ɛwɔ Agya no nkyɛn na wɔdaa no adi kyerɛɛ yɛn no. (aiōnios g166)
And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; (aiōnios g166)
3 Yɛkaa deɛ yɛhunuiɛ na yɛteeɛ no kyerɛɛ mo nso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo ne yɛn bɛnya ayɔnkofa wɔ ɔdɔ a yɛne Agya no ne Ɔba Yesu Kristo wɔ no mu.
That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Yɛretwerɛ yei sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn anigyeɛ bɛwie pɛyɛ.
And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.
5 Afei, yei ne asɛm a yɛate afiri ne Ba no nkyɛn a yɛrebɔ mo amaneɛ. Onyankopɔn yɛ hann a esum nni ne mu koraa.
And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you, —that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all.
6 Na sɛ afei yɛka sɛ yɛne no wɔ ayɔnkofa na saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu yɛte sum mu a, na yɛredi atorɔ wɔ yɛn nsɛm ne yɛn nneyɛeɛ mu.
If we say—We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth;
7 Na sɛ yɛte hann mu sɛdeɛ ɔte hann mu no a, ɛnneɛ na yɛne yɛn ho yɛn ho wɔ ayɔnkofa, na ne Ba Yesu no mogya te yɛn ho firi bɔne nyinaa ho.
Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
8 Sɛ yɛka sɛ yɛnni bɔne a, na yɛdaadaa yɛn ho, na nokorɛ no nni yɛn mu.
If we say—Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us.
9 Sɛ yɛka yɛn bɔne kyerɛ Onyankopɔn a, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ ne ɔteneneeni sɛ ɔde yɛn bɔne bɛkyɛ yɛn, na wate yɛn ho afiri deɛ ɛnte nyinaa ho.
If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous—that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Sɛ yɛka sɛ yɛnyɛɛ bɔne a, yɛma Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtorofoɔ a nʼAsɛm no nni yɛn mu.
If we say—We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.
