Introduction to 1 John
2 MSC Ɲenemaya wo lɛnkɛnɛmayara, an da a yen, an ye a sere ri, a ni an ye ɲenemaya banbali ko fɔla ai yɛ. Fɔlɔ, a tɛrɛ ye Fa Alla dafɛ, kɔni a lɛnkɛnɛmayara an ɲana. 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 MSC An ka mɛn yen, ka mɛn mɛn, an ye wo le fɔla ai yɛ, sa ai fanan di don an na duɲɔɔya rɔ, andeilu mɛnilu ye Fa Alla ni a dencɛ Isa Ɲenematɔmɔnin na duɲɔɔya rɔ. 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 MSC An ye ko ɲinilu sɛbɛla ka a lawa ai ma, sa an di se sɛwala fewu. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 MSC Nba, an ka kuma mɛn mɛn Isa Ɲenematɔmɔnin na, an ye wo lasela ai ma. Kuma wo le ɲin di: Alla ye kɛnɛ ri; dibi yɔrɔ si tɛ a rɔ. 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 MSC Ni an ka a fɔ ko an ye Alla la duɲɔɔnya rɔ, ka a tɛrɛn an ye taamala kojuu dibi rɔ, an ye wuya fɔla. An tɛ an na koilu kɛla ka bɛn tuɲa ma. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 MSC Kɔni ni an ye taamala kɛnɛ rɔ, ikomin Alla jɛrɛ ye kɛnɛ rɔ ɲa mɛn ma, duɲɔɔnya ri kɛ an ni ɲɔɔn tɛma. Ka a la wo kan, a dencɛ Isa la jeli ri hakɛ bɛɛ bɔ an dɔ ka an sɛniya. 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 MSC Alla ye kankelentii le ri. A telenni le fanan. Wo rɔ, ni an ka an lɔ an na julumun na ka woilu fɔ a yɛ, a ri an na kojuuilu makoto ka an sɛniya an na telenbaliya koilu bɛɛ ma. 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 MSC Ni an ka a fɔ ko an ma hakɛ kɛ, an da Alla kɛ wuyafɔla ri wo rɔ, a ni a la kuma tɛ an jusu rɔ. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
