Introduction to 1 John
2 LDB Urhɛ ha udzeka. Umɛn inyãmɛn umgbɔ ni idzowe ideka umgbɔ. Umɛn ĩdũwũwa umbi urhɛ uwu ugbagbaa, uku uwe nggu Utɛ nu udzeka ru umɛn. 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 LDB Umɛn ĩdũwũwa umbi ubinkpi umɛn iki inyã ni igũ, ngge ima itsu umbi awe ri ikikɔng iwɛrhɛ nggu umɛn. Iwɛrhamɛn iwu nggu Utɛ nu Ungwɛ̃nga Uyesu Ukiristo. 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 LDB Umɛn itsɛng akɛrɛ ngge itsú anggɔmmɛn atsuafɛr. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 LDB Isarhe ha iyɛ umɛn iki igũ ru unga ni ĩdũwũwa umbi, Unum awu irhirhang. Ru unga uzĩ ushikpɔ uko ukunjiir. 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 LDB Umɛn ĩba ĩgɔr ugɛ umɛn iwemɛn ri iwɛrhɛ nggu unga bɔr ni izɛ̃rhã ru uzĩ, umɛn igbɛrangwĩ ni isi ikorhumɛn idzidzɛrhe. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 LDB Bɔr umɛn ĩba izɛ̃rhã ri irhirhang, ru nyaka unga aka awe ri irhirhang, umɛn iwemɛn ri iwɛrhɛ nggu adɔka, nu adzirh Uyesu, Ungwɛ̃nga, asorh umɛn ra arhimmɛn kishoo. 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 LDB Bɔr umɛn ĩba isɔmmɛn arhimmɛn, Unum awu uner idzidzɛrhe na arhika, awuri itsũwũka arhimmɛn na asorhuwa umɛn ri kishoo ida irhirhikamɛn. 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 LDB Umɛn ĩba igɔr ugɛ umɛn isi ikorhumɛn arhim, umɛn itsu unga awu uner igbɛrangwĩ nu arherhanga ashike ra amɛnmɛn. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
