< 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;
āditō ya āsīd yasya vāg asmābhiraśrāvi yañca vayaṁ svanētrai rdr̥ṣṭavantō yañca vīkṣitavantaḥ svakaraiḥ spr̥ṣṭavantaśca 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 dr̥ṣṭavantastamadhi sākṣyaṁ dadmaśca, yaśca pituḥ sannidhāvavarttatāsmākaṁ samīpē 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 dr̥ṣṭaṁ śrutañca tadēva yuṣmān jñāpyatē tēnāsmābhiḥ sahāṁśitvaṁ yuṣmākaṁ bhaviṣyati| asmākañca sahāṁśitvaṁ pitrā tatputrēṇa yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca sārddhaṁ bhavati|
4 And these things write we to you that your joy may be full.
aparañca yuṣmākam ānandō yat sampūrṇō bhavēd tadarthaṁ vayam ētāni 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 sēyam| īśvarō jyōtistasmin andhakārasya lēśō'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 tēna sahāṁśina iti gaditvā yadyandhākārē carāmastarhi satyācāriṇō na santō 'nr̥tavādinō 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 jyōtiṣi varttatē tathā vayamapi yadi jyōtiṣi carāmastarhi parasparaṁ sahabhāginō 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 svayamēva svān vañcayāmaḥ satyamatañcāsmākam antarē na vidyatē|
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
yadi svapāpāni svīkurmmahē tarhi sa viśvāsyō yāthārthikaścāsti tasmād asmākaṁ pāpāni kṣamiṣyatē 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 akr̥tapāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi tam anr̥tavādinaṁ kurmmastasya vākyañcāsmākam antarē na vidyatē|
