< 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 på, nemlig om Livets Ord; -
WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life.
2 og Livet blev åbenbaret, og vi have set og vidne og forkynde eder det evige Liv, som jo var hos Faderen og blev åbenbaret for os; - (aiōnios )
And the life was manifested, and we have seen and do testify and announce to you, the life which is eternal; which was with the Father, and was revealed to us. (aiōnios )
3 hvad vi have set og hørt, forkynde vi også eder, for at også I må have Samfund med os; men vort Samfund er med Faderen og med hans Søn Jesus Kristus.
And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah.
4 Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde må være fuldkommen.
And these things we write to you, that our joy in you 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.
And this is the announcement, which we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light, and no darkness at all is in him.
6 Dersom vi sige, at vi have Samfund med ham, og vandre i Mørket, da lyve vi og gøre ikke Sandheden.
And if we say that we have fellowship with him, and we walk in the darkness, we are liars, and walk not in 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 if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all our sins.
8 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have Synd, bedrage vi os selv, og Sandheden er ikke i os.
And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Dersom vi bekende vore Synder, er han trofast og retfærdig, så at han forlader os Synderne og renser os fra al Uretfærdighed.
But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity.
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 that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.
