1Ana' -ana' -ku, patuju-ku mpo'uki' tohe'i-e, bona neo' -ta mpobabehi jeko'. Aga ane ria to mpobabehi jeko', ria moto-i to mpotauntongoi' -ta hi nyanyoa Alata'ala to Tuama. Hi'a-mi Yesus Kristus to monoa'.
1My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2Pai' Hi'a-mi to mate jadi' tolo' woto-ta bona Alata'ala mpo'ampungi jeko' -ta. Pai' uma muntu' jeko' -ta kita' -wadi to natolo', tapi' jeko' hawe'ea manusia' wo'o.
2and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3Ane tatuku' -mi hawa' Alata'ala, toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca kata'inca-na mpu'u-imi.
3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4Tauna to mpo'uli': "Ku'inca-imi-kuna Alata'ala," hiaa' uma-di natuku' hawa' -nae, moboa' -imi, pai' uma napoinono tudui' to makono.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5Tauna to mpotuku' lolita Alata'ala, hira' toe-mi to mpoka'ahi' Alata'ala mpu'u-mpu'u. Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca kahintuwu' -ta hante Alata'ala.
5but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
6Ane tauna to mpo'uli' tida-ra hintuwu' hante Alata'ala, po'ingku-ra kana hewa po'ingku-na Kristus.
6he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
7Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi', hawa' to ku'uki' -kokoi tohe'i, bela hawa' to bo'u. Hawa' toi, hawa' to mahae-mi ni'epe, to nitarima ngkai lomo' -nami. Hawa' toi, kareba to mpo'uli' momepoka'ahi' -ta hadua bo hadua.
7Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8Aga nau' wae, hawa' to ku'uki' -kokoi toi, bate bo'u. Makono mpu'u-hana, hawa' toi hawa' to bo'u. Ni'inca moto toe ngkai Pue' Yesus, pai' ngkai kehi-ni to bo'u wo'o. Apa' kamoroo-rontoa-mi bengi-na, pai' mehini-mi baja to makono.
8Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.
9Tauna to mpo'uli' ria-ra hi rala kabajaa-na, pai' mpokahuku' moto-ra ompi' -ra, bate hi rala kabengia-na oa' -ra-pidi.
9He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10Tauna to mpoka'ahi' ompi' -ra, tida-ra hi rala kabajaa-na, pai' uma ria napa-napa to mpahala'nawu' -ra.
10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11Tauna to mpokahuku' ompi' -ra, bate hi rala kabengia-na oa' -ra-pidi. Momako' -ra hi rala kabengia-na, pai' uma ra'incai hiapa kahiloua-ra, apa' kabengia-na toe-mi to mpakawero-ra, alaa-na uma-ra pehilo.
11But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12Ana' -ana', ku'uki' -kokoi sura tohe'i, apa' te'ampungi-mi jeko' -ni sabana Pue' Yesus.
12I write unto you, [my] little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13Tuama-tuama, ku'uki' -kokoi sura tohe'i, apa' ni'inca-imi to ria ngkai lomo' -na. Kabilasa-kabilasa, toronaa-toronaa, ku'uki' -kokoi sura tohe'i, apa' nidagi-imi anudaa'.
13I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.
14Ku'uki' hi koi' ana' -ku, apa' ni'inca-imi Tuama-ta. Ku'uki' hi koi' tuama-tuama, apa' ni'inca-imi to ria ngkai lomo' -na. Ku'uki' hi koi' kabilasa pai' toronaa, apa' moroho-mi pepangala' -ni, nipoinono Lolita Alata'ala, nidagi-imi anudaa'.
14I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.
15Neo' -ta mpoka'ahi' dunia' toi, pai' ba napa-napa ihi' -na. Hema to mpoka'ahi' dunia' toi, uma-ra mpoka'ahi' Alata'ala to Tuama.
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16Apa' hawe'ea to hi rala dunia' toi-- hewa kahinaa nono-ta to dada'a, napa to tahilo pai' tapokahina, napa-napa to mpokalangko nono-ta-- hawe'ea toe lau bela to ngkai Tuama-ta, bate to ngkai dunia' -hana.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17Hiaa' dunia' toi-e neo' mogero-mi, wae wo'o hawe'ea ihi' -na to tapokahina. Tapi' tauna to mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala bate tuwu' duu' kahae-hae-na.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18Ana' -ana' -ku, neo' rata-mi kahudua dunia'. Pai' hewa to jau-mi ratudui' -kokoi, bate rata mpai' hadua to rahanga' Bali' Kristus. Wae wo'o, tempo toi wori' -ramo to mehupa' to jadi' bali' -na Kristus. Toe-mi pompetonoi-na kaneo' -na rata mpu'u-mi kahudua dunia'.
18Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19Bali' Kristus toera, tauna to dohe-ta ri'ulu, tapi' kakoo-kono-na, bela-ra doo-ta. Toe pai' malai-ramo ngkai kahintuwuaa' -ta. Ane ke doo-ta mpu'u-rale, ke bate tida moto-ra dohe-ta. Tapi' malai-ramo-rana ngkai kahintuwuaa' -ta, toe pai' ta'inca-mi ka'uma-na ria haduaa-ra to tono' hi kita'.
19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
20Aga koi' ompi' -ompi', nitarima-mi Inoha' Tomoroli' to ngkai Kristus. Toe pai' hawe'ea-ni mpo'inca tudui' to makono.
20And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all the things.
21Jadi', uma-hawo patuju-ku mpo'uki' -kokoi tohe'i-e, ba monguli' wae ka'uma-na ni'incai tudui' to makono. Ku'uki' -kokoi toi-e, apa' lawi' ni'inca moto-mi tudui' to makono, pai' ni'inca wo'o ka'uma-na ria boa' to mehupa' ngkai to makono.
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22Hema-ra to boa' toera-e? To boa' -le, tauna to mposapu Kayesus-na Magau' Topetolo'. Hira' toe-mi bali' Kristus, apa' rasapuaka-rana Alata'ala to Tuama pai' Alata'ala to Ana'.
22Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.
23Tauna to mposapuaka Alata'ala to Ana', uma ria posidaia' -ra hante Alata'ala to Tuama. Tauna to mpangaku' Kayesus-na Ana' Alata'ala, mosidai' -ramo hante Alata'ala to Tuama.
23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.
24Jadi', ane koi' ompi' -ompi', kareba to ni'epe-mi ngkai lomo' -na kana nipoinono oa'. Ane kareba to ni'epe ngkai lomo' -na toe nipoinono oa', tida-mokoi hintuwu' hante Alata'ala to Ana' pai' Alata'ala to Tuama.
24As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
25Pai' toi-mi janci-na hi kita': katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.
25And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal.
26Ku'uki' -kokoi sura tohe'i, mpotompo'wiwi-ra to doko' mpobagiu-koi.
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.
27Aga koi' ompi', nitarima-mi-koina Inoha' Tomoroli' to ngkai Kristus, pai' Inoha' toe tida hi rala nono-ni. Uma-pi mingki' ria to ntani' -na mpotudui' -koi, apa' Inoha' Tomoroli' toe-mi mpotudui' -koi butu nyala-na. Tudui' -na paka' to makono, uma ria to boa'. Jadi', hewa to oti-mi natudui' -kokoi, tida-mokoi hintuwu' hante Kristus.
27And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
28Kakaliliua-na ana' -ana' -ku, tida-mokoi hintuwu' hante Kristus, bona ane rata nculii' -ipi mpai', daho' -tamo mponyanyo-i, uma-ta mpai' me'ea' nakaratai.
28And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29Kristus mpotuku' oa' konoa Alata'ala. Ni'inca moto toe ompi'. Jadi', ni'inca wo'o: hawe'ea tauna to mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala, napo'ana' Alata'ala-ramo.
29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
