1 Johana 1
1 Wandikonu kuom Wach mar ngima, mane nitie nyaka aa chakruok, ma wasewinjo kendo waseneno gi wengewa, kendo waserange maber mi wamule gi lwetewa.
That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
2 Ngimani nofwenyore mine wanene, omiyo wawuoyo kuome, kendo wanyisou wach ngima mochwere mane nigi Wuoro kendo mane onyiswa. (aiōnios g166)
the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
3 Wanyisou gima waseneno kendo winjo, mondo un bende ubed e achiel kodwa e lalruok. To lalruok marwa ni e kindwa gi Wuoro kod Wuode, Yesu Kristo.
that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 Wandikonu wachni mondo morwa obed mogundho kendo moromo chuth.
And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
5 Puonj mane wayudo kuom Kristo kendo koro wanyisou ema: Nyasaye en ler, kendo mudho onge kuome kata matin.
This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
6 Omiyo ka wawacho ni wan e winjruok kode to pod wawuotho e mudho to wariambo kendo ok wawuothi e adiera.
If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
7 To ka wawuotho e ler, kaka en bende enie ler to wan e lalruok ngʼato gi ngʼato, kendo remb Yesu Wuode pwodhowa kuom richowa duto.
But if we live 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 Ka wawacho ni waonge richo, to wawuondore kendwa wawegi, kendo adiera onge e chunywa.
If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
9 To ka wahulo richowa, to oweyonwagi kendo opwodhowa kuom timbe duto ma ok odhi kare nikech en Ja-adiera kendo otimo gima kare.
If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
10 Ka wawacho ni pok watimo richo to wamiyo odoko ja-miriambo kendo wachne onge gi thuolo e ngimawa.
If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
