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.

¹Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

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

²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

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

³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

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

⁴For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

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

⁵Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes 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 is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, 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.

⁷For there are three who testify Only a few recent manuscripts add “in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth” :

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

⁸the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as 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 we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has 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 believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given 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.

¹¹The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this 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 has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

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 have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to 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.

¹⁴This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

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

¹⁵And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of 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 anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

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

¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to 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 know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

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

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

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.

²⁰We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

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

²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
