Introduction to 1 John
2 TYX Mu kuulu laama lilo liimoŋono. Ya bihi liimono lo, ya bihi lili bampughulu ba lo, ya bihi lili mu okatsala be nsia a laama lili mibvu ya mibvu li líli kundaa Taara ya li liiyamoŋono kundaa bihi. 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 TYX Mi liimono ya liigyughu bihi, bihi lili mu okalyele be mye si, mu kuulu behe si likala bumõ ya bihi, ya bumõ bu bihi buli ya Taara, ya Mwana a nde, Yiisu-Kriste. 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 TYX Ya bihi lili mu osono be mandagha ma, mu kuulu esee e bihi ekala mukughu. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 TYX Nsia yi liigyughu bihi kundaa Yiisu-Kriste, ya yi lili mu otuoho bihi kundaa be me yi: Nzaami li otsyeme, ya mpyibi ka yili mu nde o. 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 TYX Kala ti bihi-a-be liikalyele ti: «Bihi lili bumõ ya nde», ya lili mu okadzyara kunsa mpyibi, bihi-a-be lili mu okapfiri mpya, ya ka lili mu okadzyara mu engaŋma o. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 TYX Lo kala ti bihi-a-be lili mu okadzyara kunsa otsyeme, ti bwunu a bu oli Nzaami ndeme kunsa otsyeme, bihi-a-be lili bumõ ya babake, ya makili ma Yiisu, Mwana a nde, maakatsehebe bihi-a-be mu masumu mwohono. 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 TYX Kala ti bihi-a-be liikakihi masumu ma bihi, Nzaami li bunsumu ya li wu aakakuhu misiini mi nde. Nde sa asa masumu ma bihi-a-be kolokolo, ya sa atsehebe bihi-a-be mu bubi bwohono. 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 TYX Kala ti bihi-a-be liikalyele ti: «Bihi ka lisi masumu o», bihi-a-be liikasa ti Nzaami akala nga-a-mpya, ya ndagha a nde ka yili mu mikolo mi bihi o. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
