1 Ninia da dilima eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu Sia: dafa amo da eso huluane eno liligi hame galu eso amoga dialusu, amo olelemusa: dilima dedesa. Amo Sia: dafa E da osobo bagade dunu hamoiba: le, amo ninia gega nabi amola siga ba: i. Dafawane! Amo ninia ba: i dagoi amola ninia loboga digili ba: i dagoi.
We write to you about the Word of life, which has been in existence from the beginning. We write of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands.
2 Amo eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu Sia: dafa da dunu ba: ma: ne da: i hodo lai, amo ninia ba: i dagoi. Amaiba: le, ninia amo hou olelesa. Eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu da musa: Gode amola gilisili esalu. Ada Gode da ninima olelebeba: le, ninia da bu dilima olelesa. (aiōnios g166)
That life was made visible, and we have seen it. We bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that eternal life which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Ninia amola Ada Gode amola Egefedafa Yesu Gelesu, da gilisili fi hamoi dagoi. Dilia dogo da ninia fi ninima gilisima: ne, ninia ba: i liligi amola nabi liligi dilima olelesa.
It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Dilia hahawane hou da nabaiwane ba: ma: ne, ninia da amo hou dilima dedesa.
We are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
5 Amo sia: Gode Egefedafa ninima olelei, ninia da dunu enoma bu olelesa amane, “Gode da Hadigidafa. Ea hou amo ganodini, gasi da hamedafa gala.”
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
6 Amaiba: le, ninia da Godema na: iyado gala ninia da lafidili sia: sea, be gasi ganodini ahoanebe ba: sea, ninia da lafidili amola ninia hou hamonanebe, amoga ogogosa.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet continue to walk in the darkness, our words and our lives are a lie.
7 Be ninia Gode defele hadigi ganodini ahoasea, ninia amola ninia fi dunu, na: iyado fi hamosa. Amola Gode Egefedafa, amo Yesu, E da ninia wadela: i hou huluanedafa Ea maga: mega dodofesa.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 Be ninia da wadela: i hou hame dawa: , amo sia: sea, ninisu ninima ogogosa. Amai galea, ninia dafawane hou hame dawa:
If we say, “we have no sin,” then we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Be ninia wadela: i hou hamoi Godema fofada: sea, ninia da Ea moloidafa sia: i liligi ba: mu. E da ninia wadela: i hou bu gogolema: ne olofole, amo wadela: i hou bu mae ba: ma: ne dodofemu.
If we confess our sins, he is just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
10 Be ninia wadela: i hou hamedafa hamoi amo sia: sea, ninia da Gode da ogogosu dunu giadofale olelesa. Amai galea, Gode Ea Sia: da ninia dogo ganodini hame gala.
If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make God a liar, and his Word is not in us.
