Introduction to 1 John
2 IYX Moonyi amonii, na bisi diamoni nde! Bisi dili bambaangi ba nde, na dili mu uyaabisa beni moonyi wa bilimi na bilimi wuu, wali na Taayi, na wamonii kwaa bisi. BSB BSB: And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3 IYX Mandaa ma bisi diamoni na diayuyi, ni mo ka bisi dili mu uyaabisa beni. Bisi dili mu uyaabisa beni mo, paa beni ka diba weti bisi mu itwaari ki dili na kio na Taayi, na Mwaana a nde Yiisu Kristo. BSB BSB: We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 IYX Na bisi dili mu usonuu mandaa ma, paa kinya a bisi yiba yakuu. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 IYX Dimono ndaa yi bisi diayuyi kwaa Yiisu Kristo, na yi bisi dili mu uyaabisa kwaa beni: Nziaambi ni liyalila, na a uli na pimisi so hoolo pe mu nde. BSB BSB: And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 IYX So dileeli ti bisi dili itwaari na nde, ka bunu bisi dili mu uba kutso pimisi, dili bangaa pia, na a dili mu usalila ngwanya pe. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 IYX Ka so bisi dili mu uba kutso liyalila, weti bu Nziaambi nde makulu ali kutso liyalila, bisi dili mu itwaari bana mu bana. Na Yiisu, mwaana a Nziaambi, watsala makili ma nde, li mu utsieemese bisi mu masumu moosi. BSB BSB: 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.
9 IYX So disiingi masumu ma bisi nha kulu a Nziaambi, bisi utuu usa ilimbisi mu nde, mundaa ti nde li wa libweeye: nde sa asa masumu ma bisi kolo-kolo, na utsieemese bisi mu bubi boosi. BSB BSB: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 IYX So dileeli ti a dili na masumu pe, bisi dili mu umweese ti Nziaambi li ngaa pia, na mandaa ma nde a mali mu bisi pe. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
