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, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comforter. 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 atoning sacrifice “atoning sacrifice” is from the Greek “hilasmos,” an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation—the sacrifice that turns away God’s wrath because of our sin. 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.

³This is how 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.

⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t 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 whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how 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 who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like 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.

⁷Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

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, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

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 who says he is in the light and hates 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 who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for 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 who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹²Ana' -ana', ku'uki' -kokoi sura tohe'i, apa' te'ampungi-mi jeko' -ni sabana Pue' Yesus.

¹²I write to you, 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 to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you 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 to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you 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.

¹⁵Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t 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, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

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.

¹⁷The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

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, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final 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 didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

²⁰Aga koi' ompi' -ompi', nitarima-mi Inoha' Tomoroli' to ngkai Kristus. Toe pai' hawe'ea-ni mpo'inca tudui' to makono.

²⁰You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. Or, “know what is true.” Or, “know all 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 to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you 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 who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies 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.

²³Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has 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.

²⁴Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁵Pai' toi-mi janci-na hi kita': katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.

²⁵This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

²⁶Ku'uki' -kokoi sura tohe'i, mpotompo'wiwi-ra to doko' mpobagiu-koi.

²⁶These things I have written to you concerning those who 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.

²⁷As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain 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.

²⁸Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, 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 you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.
