Introduction to 1 John
2 YER Ma nyám unəm uga nna irirì va̱ ta chit ka̱ mban. I ya na ya ká̱ iwu yi. Mmayi ka̱ nla nnap va i nyi ka̱ apəpal a. Mmayi ka̱ nla nnap anəm va uwa irirì iga mbyet mbyet. Unəm va ka̱ ya nzəng ká̱ uPoyi-Inan kan ma nyám na ayi chit ka̱ mban. 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 YER Unəm va i ya na ya ká̱ iwu kang i fe nnap nləla fe kpa ká̱ achwang yi te, uwa mmayi ka̱ nla nnənap awo na o təm ntəm ngga mma̱n nzəng ka̱ yi kpa. Ntəm yi ngga mma̱n va nzəng ká̱ Inan uPon ká̱ uYiyen uYesu Kəristi. 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 YER Mmayi ka̱ nlir iya̱m va̱ ta̱ awo na ìgwak a chang yi pa̱ kpaktak nzəng ká̱ wo. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 YER Nnap nlà va̱ ta̱ nna i fe ka̱ atak aYa Inan kang mmayi ka̱ nla awo. Nna pa̱ Inan uza̱ atak atántàn. Iya̱m ro ya gwang na ka̱ afa̱p ka̱t. 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 YER A yà pa̱ i là pa̱ mmayi ka̱ ntəm ntəm ngga mma̱n nzəng ka̱ na kan mmayi ka̱ ntəm ka̱ ashe afa̱p te, ya mmayi ka̱ nnap akwam, i təm nzəng ka̱ nkpak nnandər ka̱t. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 YER A ya nnyi pa̱ i təm ka̱ ashe atak atántàn wa nva uza̱ ka̱ ashe atak atántàn te, ya mmayi ka̱ ntəm ntəm ngga mma̱n nzəng ka̱ owan yi kang nchə̀r aYiyen uYesu ka̱ nnal nza̱ apir nnap-mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng yi nggo ayi. 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 YER A yà pa̱ i pwa nnap-mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng yi ka̱ mpyal Inan te, uza̱ i yar nnap-mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng yi ayi ka̱kul uza̱ pa te, uza̱ unəm uga nyəl nsar nnap-nlà, unəm-nəna̱n. Uza̱ i nal iya̱m inga yi ayi pa̱ kpaktak. 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 YER A yà pa̱ i là pa̱ i ya ka̱ nnap-mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng ka̱t te, ya mmayi ka̱ nla pa̱ Inan ta̱l unəm uga akwam chit kan nnap-nləla ya ka̱ ashe igwák yi ka̱t. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
