1 Johannes 1
1 Det, som var fra Begyndelsen, det, vi have hørt, det, vi have set med vore Øjne, det, vi skuede og vore Hænder følte paa, nemlig om Livets Ord; —
It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.
2 og Livet blev aabenbaret, og vi have set og vidne og forkynde eder det evige Liv, som jo var hos Faderen og blev aabenbaret for os; — (aiōnios g166)
And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 hvad vi have set og hørt, forkynde vi ogsaa eder, for at ogsaa I maa have Samfund med os; men vort Samfund er med Faderen og med hans Søn Jesus Kristus.
It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde maa være fuldkommen.
And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
5 Og dette er det Budskab, som vi have hørt af ham og forkynde eder, at Gud er Lys, og der er slet intet Mørke i ham.
This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.
6 Dersom vi sige, at vi have Samfund med ham, og vandre i Mørket, da lyve vi og gøre ikke Sandheden.
If we say, "We have partnership with Him," when we are passing our life in the darkness, we are lying and are not doing the truth.
7 Men dersom vi vandre i Lyset, ligesom han er i Lyset, have vi Samfund med hverandre, og Jesu, hans Søns, Blod renser os fra al Synd.
But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.
8 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have Synd, bedrage vi os selv, og Sandheden er ikke i os.
If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 Dersom vi bekende vore Synder, er han trofast og retfærdig, saa at han forlader os Synderne og renser os fra al Uretfærdighed.
But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.
10 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have syndet, gøre vi ham til en Løgner, og hans Ord er ikke i os.
If we say, "We have not sinned," we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us.
