¹Kon godi pachalpe ke O Jesus si O Kristo si ek Shav le Devlesko, ai kaske godi si drago O Dat drago leske vi leske shave.

¹Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

²Ai ame zhanas ke drago amenge le Devleske shave, kana si amenge drago O Del, ai kana keras lesko zakono.

²in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

³Ke te si amenge drago Del, ame keras lesko zakono. Ai lesko zakono nai trutno.

³for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

⁴Ke kon godi si Shav Devlesko nirilpe lumia, ai so del ame e putiera te nirisaras pe lumia, amaro pachamos si.

⁴because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;

⁵Ai kon sai niril pe lumia? Ferdi kodo kai pachal ke O Jesus si O Shav le Devlesko.

⁵who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶O Jesus Kristo avilo pala pai ai rat. Wo avilo na ferdi le paiesa, numa le paiesa ai le ratesa. O Swunto Duxo si marturo ke kadala dieli chache le, ke O Swunto Duxo si o chachimos.

⁶This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

⁷Ke trin marturia si ando rhaio, O Dat, E Vorba, ai O Swunto Duxo: ai sa le trin si iek.

⁷because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these — the three — are one;

⁸Ai trin marturia si pe phuv, O Swunto Duxo, ai o pai, ai o rat; ai vi le trin andek than mothon iek chachimos.

⁸and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one.

⁹Ame premisaras e Vorba le manushenge, numa E Vorba le Devleske mai bari la, ai kado si e Vorba kai phendia pa pesko Shav.

⁹If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.

¹⁰Kon pachalpe ando Shav le Devlesko zhanel ando lesko ilo kai O Jesus si O Shav le Devlesko, numa kon chi pachalpe ando Del kerdia anda Del iek xoxamlo; ke chi pachaiape ande e Vorba kai O Del dia pa pesko Shav.

¹⁰He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

¹¹Ai kado si e Vorba kai phendia, O Del dia ame o traio kai chi mai getolpe, ai kodo traio si ande lesko Shav.

¹¹and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this — the life — is in His Son;

¹²Kado kai si les O Sav si les o traio; ai kodo kai nai les O Shav le Devlesko nai les o traio.

¹²he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God — the life he hath not.

¹³Me ramov tumenge kadala dieli kai pachanpe ando anav le Shavesko le Devlesko, saxke te zhanen ke si tume o traio kai chi mai getolpe, ai tume kai pachan tume ando anav le Shavesko le Devlesko.

¹³These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

¹⁴Anda kodia ame sai pashuas pasha Del sa amare ilesa, ai zhanas ke te mangasa vari so lestar kai si ande leski voia, wo ashunela amende.

¹⁴And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

¹⁵Ai te zhanasa ke wo ashunel amende, kana mangas lestar vari so, zhanas ke dela amen so mangas lestar.

¹⁵and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

¹⁶Te dikhela vari kon peske phrales ke kerel iek bezex kai chi ingerel kai martia, trobul te rhugilpe ka Del, ai O Del dela traio kodole phrales, ai O Del dela o traio kodolen kai keren iek bezex kai chi ingerel kai martia, numa si iek bezex kai ingerel kai martia, ai chi mangav te rhugin tume anda kodo kai kerdia kado bezex.

¹⁶If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

¹⁷Ke so godi si nasulimos bezex si, numa si bezex kai chi ingeren kai martia.

¹⁷all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

¹⁸Ai ame zhanas ke kon godi si shav Devlesko chi mai kerel bezexa sagda, numa kodo kai si shav Devlesko arakhelpe wo korkorho, ai o beng chi amil pe leste.

¹⁸We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

¹⁹Ame zhanas ke le Devleske sam, ai ke sa e lumia si telai putiera le bengeski.

¹⁹we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

²⁰Ame zhanas ke O Shav le Devlesko avilo, ai dia ame e goji, te zhanas savo si O Del o chacho. Ame sam astarde ka Del o chacho katar lesko Shav O Jesus Kristo.

²⁰and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

²¹Wo si O Del o chacho, Wo si o traio kai chi mai getolpe. Murhe shave, arakhen tume katar le ikoni! Amen.

²¹Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.
