< 1 John 1 >
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.
Yaong buhat sa pasimula, yaong aming narinig, yaong nakita ng aming mga mata, yaong aming namasdan, at nahipo ng aming mga kamay, tungkol sa salita ng buhay;
2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. (aiōnios )
(At ang buhay ay nahayag, at aming nakita, at pinatotohanan, at sa inyo'y aming ibinabalita ang buhay, ang buhay na walang hanggan, na kasama ng Ama at sa atin ay nahayag); (aiōnios )
3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Yaong aming nakita at narinig ay siya rin naming ibinabalita sa inyo, upang kayo naman ay magkaroon ng pakikisama sa amin: oo, at tayo ay may pakikisama sa Ama, at sa kaniyang Anak na si Jesucristo:
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
At ang mga bagay na ito ay aming isinusulat, upang ang ating kagalakan ay malubos.
5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
At ito ang pasabing aming narinig sa kaniya at sa inyo'y aming ibinabalita, na ang Dios ay ilaw, at sa kaniya'y walang anomang kadiliman.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Kung sinasabi nating tayo'y may pakikisama sa kaniya at nagsisilakad tayo sa kadiliman, ay nangagbubulaan tayo, at hindi tayo nagsisigawa ng katotohanan:
7 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.
Nguni't kung tayo'y nagsisilakad sa liwanag, na gaya niyang nasa liwanag, ay may pakikisama tayo sa isa't isa, at nililinis tayo ng dugo ni Jesus na kaniyang Anak sa lahat ng kasalanan.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kung sinasabi nating tayo'y walang kasalanan, ay ating dinadaya ang ating sarili, at ang katotohanan ay wala sa atin.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Kung ipinahahayag natin ang ating mga kasalanan, ay tapat at banal siya na tayo'y patatawarin sa ating mga kasalanan, at tayo'y lilinisin sa lahat ng kalikuan.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Kung sinasabi nating tayo'y hindi nangagkasala, ay ating ginagawang sinungaling siya, at ang kaniyang salita ay wala sa atin.
