Introduction to 1 John
2 JID Na ki ba du ta toh rei'a, i ki toh'o di kpayiem ni u. Kisi hla yuu tre rei u tutru wa a he ni ti mbu, wa ba tsro ta. 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 JID Ikpe wa ki toh di wo di hla ni yu'u, u'biyi me bi ka tu kabi ni ta. Shu bi mbu a hei ni ti ni vre yesu kristi. 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 JID Na ki kita me kisi han kpi biyi ni yu'u, du kikla suron mbu cika gri ififga. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 JID Wa yi hi imbre wa kita ki woh jri ni'u ki hla ni yu'u, Irji hi kpan ni wu ibwu na hei na kofi. 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 JID Inde kitre di ki katukabi ni'u; di ni zre ni mi bwu di ni ti che, ki na si bla tre 'u jaji na. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 JID Naki kita si zren ni mi kpan, na wa wu hei ni mi kpan, ki si katu mbu bi ha mire vayi, 'u' yin vre ma yesu ni kla ta ni milan tre wa wu. 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 JID Inde kihla la latre mbu rju ra wawu a hi jaji da wa ani gla ta ni mi latre mbu. 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 JID Inde ki tre di kina lahtre na, ki kma u ti ndi u'che, u'tre ma ana hei ni mi mbu na. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
