1 Nu ngi leen di bind ci mbirum Ki ñuy wax Kàddug dund, moom mi amoon ca njàlbéen ga; mi nu dégg te gis ko ak sunuy bët, mi nu xool te laal ko ak sunuy loxo.
1That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life;
2 Dund feeñ na, te gis nanu ko; te moom lanuy seedeel, di leen yégal dund gu dul jeex, googu nekkoon ci wetu Yàlla Baay bi te feeñu nu.
2(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:)
3 Li nu gis te dégg ko, nu ngi leen koy yégal, ngir yéen itam ngeen bokk ak nun. Te dëgg-dëgg bokk nanu ci Baay bi ak Doomam, Yeesu Kirist.
3that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that *ye* also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship [is] indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Nu ngi leen di bind yëf yii, ngir sunu mbég mat sëkk, nun ñépp.
4And these things write we to you that your joy may be full.
5 Xebaar bi nu dégg ci Yeesu Kirist, di leen ko yégal, mooy lii: Yàlla Leer la, te genn lëndëm nekkul ci moom.
5And this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Su nu waxee ne, bokk nanu ci moom, tey dox ci lëndëm, danuy fen ci sunuy wax ak sunuy jëf.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth.
7 Waaye bu nuy dox ci leer, ni mu nekke moom ci boppam ci leer, kon bokk nanu ci sunu biir, te deretu Yeesu Doomam dina nu sellal ci bépp bàkkaar.
7But if we walk in the light as *he* is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Su nu waxee ne amunu bàkkaar, kon nax nanu sunu bopp, te dëgg nekkul ci nun.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Su nu nangoo sunuy bàkkaar ci kanamam, fekk kuy sàmm kóllëre la te jub, ngir baal nu sunuy bàkkaar te sellal nu ci lépp lu jubadi.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Su nu waxee ne defunu bàkkaar, teg nanu ko kuy tebbi waxam, te kàddoom duggagul ci sunu xol.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
