1Uma mowo kabohe ahi' -na Alata'ala to Tuama hi kita', duu' -na nakahangai' -tamo ana' -na. Pai' bate wae mpu'u. Ana' Alata'ala mpu'u-tamo. Tauna to uma mepangala' hi Yesus uma mpo'incai kakita' -na ana' Alata'ala, apa' uma-ra mpo'incai Alata'ala.
1Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi'! Tempo toi, ana' Alata'ala-tamo. Ko'ia ta'incai mpu'u kabeiwa-na mpai' katuwu' -ta hi eo mpeno, apa' ko'ia-ta rapopo'incai. Aga to ta'inca-na: ane rata nculii' -i-damo mpai' Kristus-e, hewa Hi'a wo'o-tamo-tawo, apa' bate lence-na mpu'u-mi mpai' to tahilo.
2Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
3Hawe'ea tauna to ncarumaka Kristus hewa toe, bate mpakaroli' katuwu' -ra, hewa kamoroli' -na Kristus.
3And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4Hawe'ea tauna to mpobabehi jeko', mpotiboki hawa' Alata'ala. Apa' toe-mi to rahanga' jeko', mpotiboki hawa' Alata'ala.
4Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
5Pai' ni'inca moto ompi', patuju-na Yesus mehupa' hi dunia', bona mpolali jeko' manusia'. Hiaa' Hi'a moto, uma-hana ria jeko' -na.
5And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
6Jadi', hawe'ea tauna to tida hintuwu' hante Hi'a, uma-rapa mpobabehi jeko'. Hawe'ea tauna to mpobabehi jeko' oa', uma-ra mpohiloi-i pai' uma-ra mpo'incai-i.
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.
7Ana' -ana' -ku, neo' nipelele' -ra ba hema-hema to doko' mpobagiu-koi. Tauna to mpobabehi konoa Alata'ala, tauna to monoa' -ra, hewa kamonoa' -na Yesus.
7[My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:
8Tauna to mpobabehi jeko' oa', napo'ana' Magau' Anudaa' -ra. Apa' Magau' Anudaa', topojeko' ngkai lomo' -na ami' -imi-hana. Toi-mi patuju-na Ana' Alata'ala mehupa' hi dunia', bona mpogero bago-na Magau' Anudaa'.
8he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9Hawe'ea tauna to napo'ana' Alata'ala, uma-rapa mpobabehi jeko' oa', apa' mporata-ramo katuwua' to bo'u ngkai Alata'ala. Uma-ra bisa mpobabehi jeko' oa', apa' napo'ana' Alata'ala-ramo.
9Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.
10Toi-mi pompetonoi-na, bona ta'inca hema to napo'ana' Alata'ala pai' hema to napo'ana' Magau' Anudaa'. Hawe'ea tauna to uma mpobabehi konoa Alata'ala, bela-ra ana' Alata'ala. Wae wo'o tauna to uma mpoka'ahi' ompi' -ra, bela-ra ana' Alata'ala.
10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11Toi-mi kareba to ni'epe ngkai lomo' -na: kana momepoka'ahi' -ta hadua bo hadua.
11For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
12Neo' -ta mpenau' kehi Kain owi. Kain toei, napo'ana' anudaa' -i, alaa-na mpopatehi-i tu'ai-na. Napa pai' alaa-na mpopatehi-i tu'ai-na? Apa' dada'a-hana po'ingku-na, hiaa' po'ingku tu'ai-na monoa'.
12not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13Toe-mi ompi', neo' nikehelei ane tauna to uma mepangala' hi Yesus mpokahuku' -koi.
13Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you.
14Ane mpoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta, ta'inca katebahaka-tami ngkai kamatea pai' mporata-tamo katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na. Tauna to uma mpoka'ahi' ompi' -ra, ko'ia-ra tebahaka ngkai kamatea.
14We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.
15Hawe'ea tauna to mpokahuku' ompi' -ra, hibalia topepatehi-ra-hana. Pai' ni'inca moto ompi': tauna topepatehi uma mporata katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.
15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca to ra'uli' ahi': Yesus mpewai' tuwu' -na bona kita' mporata kalompea'. Jadi', kita' wo'o kana mpewai' tuwu' -ta mpotulungi ompi' -ta.
16Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17Rapa' -na ria hadua tauna to nakariai rewa dunia' toi, pai' mpohilo-i ompi' -na nakakurai' ba napa-napa, pai' nanaa mara-wadi, uma natulungi, tantu tauna toe uma-i ma'ahi' hewa Alata'ala.
17But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
18Ana' -ana' -ku, neo' ma'ahi' hi wiwi-wadi, neo' ta'uli' kampoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta pai' uma tababehi napa-napa mpotulungi-ra. Ma'ahi' -ta hante kehi-ta, apa' toe-mi ahi' to makono mpu'u.
18[My] Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
19Ane mpoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta, toe-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca mpu'u kakita' -na ana' Alata'ala, alaa-na rodo-mi nono-ta mponyanyo-i.
19Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:
20Ane uma rodo nono-ta apa' mpenonoi sala' -ta, ma'ala oa' tapakarodo nono-ta, apa' Alata'ala mpo'inca omea tuwu' -ta, pai' ahi' -na hi kita' meliu kabohe-na ngkai nono-ta to mposalai' -ta toe.
20because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21Jadi', ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi', ane nono-ta uma-pi mposalai' -ta, daho' -tamo mponyanyo Alata'ala,
21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;
22pai' napa-napa to taperapi' bate nawai' -ta, apa' tatuku' hawa' -na pai' tababehi napa to mpakagoe' nono-na.
22and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23Toi-mile hawa' -nae: mepangala' -tamo hi Yesus Kristus Ana' -na, pai' momepoka'ahi' -ta hadua bo hadua, ntuku' to nahawai' -taka.
23And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.
24Tauna to mpotuku' hawa' Alata'ala, tida-ra hintuwu' hante Hi'a, pai' Hi'a hante hira'. Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca katida-na Alata'ala hintuwu' hante kita', apa' nawai' -tamo Inoha' -na.
24And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
