2 ZTP Tak leꞌ yalnaban mbroꞌtoy lo men nde mbwiꞌ náꞌy, nde ndaꞌ náꞌ kwent chanꞌ naꞌy nde ndej náꞌ leꞌy nak yalnaban adiꞌ, leꞌy ndo kon Xud naꞌ Dios nde mbroꞌtoy lo náꞌ. 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 ZTP Jwanꞌ mbwiꞌ náꞌ nde mbin náꞌ, jwanꞌ naxa ndotej náꞌ lo goꞌ, sa thita gak naꞌ, nde lipa thita gak naꞌ kon Xud naꞌ Dios nde kon xinꞌ Xaꞌ Jesucrist. 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 ZTP Jwanꞌ reꞌ ngekeꞌ náꞌ lo goꞌ, sa thiptane yo nale lazoꞌ reta naꞌ. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 ZTP Jwanꞌ reꞌ nak jwanꞌ mbin náꞌ mdej Jesucrist lo náꞌ nde jwanꞌ naga ndeja náꞌ lo goꞌ: Dios nak xni, nde naꞌndonod Xaꞌ nek lud yalꞌkow. 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 ZTP Tez gab naꞌ, thita nak naꞌ kon Xaꞌ, nde ngetenꞌ lo yalꞌkow, nkwinꞌ naꞌ nde naꞌngelid naꞌ jwanꞌ galꞌpa. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 ZTP Per tez ngetenꞌ lo xni, ta xa ndo Dios lo xni, zyasa thita gak reta naꞌ, nde ren chanꞌ Xinꞌ Xaꞌ Jesús, tombiy naꞌ lo reta xken naꞌ. 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.

10 ZTP Tez gab naꞌ, tera linꞌ yalke, zyasa ndlilal naꞌ Dios Xaꞌ kwinꞌ, tak teraꞌ lipa lazonꞌ xkiꞌs Xaꞌ. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
