< 1 John 1 >
1 That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life;
ādito ya āsīd yasya vāg asmābhiraśrāvi yañca vayaṁ svanetrai rdṛṣṭavanto yañca vīkṣitavantaḥ svakaraiḥ spṛṣṭavantaśca taṁ jīvanavādaṁ vayaṁ jñāpayāmaḥ|
2 (and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us: ) (aiōnios )
sa jīvanasvarūpaḥ prakāśata vayañca taṁ dṛṣṭavantastamadhi sākṣyaṁ dadmaśca, yaśca pituḥ sannidhāvavarttatāsmākaṁ samīpe prakāśata ca tam anantajīvanasvarūpaṁ vayaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ| (aiōnios )
3 that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship [is] indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
asmābhi ryad dṛṣṭaṁ śrutañca tadeva yuṣmān jñāpyate tenāsmābhiḥ sahāṁśitvaṁ yuṣmākaṁ bhaviṣyati| asmākañca sahāṁśitvaṁ pitrā tatputreṇa yīśukhrīṣṭena ca sārddhaṁ bhavati|
4 And these things write we to you that your joy may be full.
aparañca yuṣmākam ānando yat sampūrṇo bhaved tadarthaṁ vayam etāni likhāmaḥ|
5 And this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
vayaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ tasmāt śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ seyam| īśvaro jyotistasmin andhakārasya leśo'pi nāsti|
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth.
vayaṁ tena sahāṁśina iti gaditvā yadyandhākāre carāmastarhi satyācāriṇo na santo 'nṛtavādino bhavāmaḥ|
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 Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
kintu sa yathā jyotiṣi varttate tathā vayamapi yadi jyotiṣi carāmastarhi parasparaṁ sahabhāgino bhavāmastasya putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya rudhirañcāsmān sarvvasmāt pāpāt śuddhayati|
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
vayaṁ niṣpāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi svayameva svān vañcayāmaḥ satyamatañcāsmākam antare na vidyate|
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
yadi svapāpāni svīkurmmahe tarhi sa viśvāsyo yāthārthikaścāsti tasmād asmākaṁ pāpāni kṣamiṣyate sarvvasmād adharmmāccāsmān śuddhayiṣyati|
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
vayam akṛtapāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi tam anṛtavādinaṁ kurmmastasya vākyañcāsmākam antare na vidyate|
