1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life:
M'ap ekri nou sou pawòl ki bay lavi a, pawòl ki te la depi nan konmansman tout bagay. Nou te tande l', nou te wè l' ak pwòp je nou, nou te gade l' byen gade, nou te manyen l' ak men nou.
2 For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us: (aiōnios g166)
Lè lavi a te parèt, nou te wè li. Se poutèt sa mwen ka pale nou sou sa: m'ap fè nou konnen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an, lavi ki te la avèk Papa a, lavi ki te parèt aklè devan nou an. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Sa nou menm nou te wè a, sa nou te tande a, m'ap fè nou konnen l' tou pou nou ka viv ansanm yonn ak lòt nan lavi nou tout n'ap mennen ansanm ak Papa a ansanm ak Pitit li a, Jezikri.
4 And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
M'ap ekri nou sa pou kè nou ka kontan nèt ale.
5 And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
Men nouvèl nou te tande nan bouch Jezikri a, nouvèl m'ap fè nou konnen an: Bondye se limyè. Pa gen fènwa nan Bondye.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
Si nou di n'ap viv ansanm ak li, pou anmenmtan n'ap viv nan fènwa, n'ap bay manti ni nan sa n'ap di, ni nan sa n'ap fè.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Men, si n'ap viv nan limyè menm jan li menm Bondye li nan limyè, lè sa a se tout bon n'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Jezi, Pitit Bondye a, va netwaye nou ak san li anba tout peche nou yo.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Si nou di nou pa gen peche, se tèt nou n'ap twonpe. Verite a pa nan nou.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
Men, si nou rekonèt devan Bondye nou fè peche, nou mèt gen konfyans nan li. Paske l'ap fè sak gen pou fèt la: la padonnen tout peche nou yo, la netwaye nou anba tou sa ki mal.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Men, si nou di nou pa t' fè peche, nou fè Bondye pase pou mantò: Pawòl li pa nan kè nou.
