1 John 1
1 This letter is about the Word of Life which existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our very own eyes and gazed upon, and which our hands have touched.
Inlele wadi infune, elena tina mali lazu ilena tina mali yenu nin nizi bit, ilena tina mali gwinu, nin nachara bi na kifoo, kitene tipin lai.
2 This Life was revealed to us; we saw it and give evidence about it. We are telling you about the one who is Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
Ulaiye na ina yinin nin yenu, nin tinizi iba nin beling minu ulai sali ligang, ulena wadi nin ncife, na tina yino kiti bit. (aiōnios g166)
3 What we have seen and heard we are now explaining to you, so that you may also share in this friendship together with us—this friendship that is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Ilele na ti yene nin lanzu tima belin minu, bara usuu usujaida ligowe nin narik nin usujaida ligowe nin Ncif nin Uson, Yesu Kristi
4 We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
Tinanin yrtine elemone bara ti timinu liburi liboo kaan.
5 This is the message we received from him and that we declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him at all.
Ulelere uliru umagulete dana tina laza tidin belin minu: Kutelle nkanan ghari nanya me na mbibit diku ba vat.
6 If we claim to share this friendship with him and yet go on living in darkness, we're lying, and not living in the truth.
Andi tibenle tidin su usujaida ligowe nin ghe tinani din chin nanya sirti tia kinu, natidin su kidegen ghe ba.
7 But if we are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.
Bara nani andi tidin chin nanya nkana ghe nafo amen in nkanan ghe, tinani dinin dimun usujaida ligowe nin kogha, nin mmii Yesu uson me kusu nari lau unu nalapi bit.
8 If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Andi ti woro tidinin kulapi ba, tidin rusuzu atibitari na kidegen di nanya bi ba.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is trustworthy and right so that he can forgive us our sins and make us clean from all that is not right in us.
Bara nani anadi benle alapi bit, ame dinin kibinai kisheu ma shawu nin na lapi bite anin kusu nari lau unuzu salinlaubite.
10 If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
Andi tibenle ti dinin na lapi ba tita ghe unan kinu, nin nani tipipin me di nanya bit ba.
