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:
Ihe anyị na-edere unu banyere ya bụ ihe ahụ na-adịrị site na mmalite, nke anyị nụrụ, nke anyị jikwa anya anyị hụ, nke anyị lekwasịrị anya, na nke aka anyị metụrụ. Anyị na-ekwu ihe banyere Okwu nke ndụ ahụ.
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)
Ndụ ahụ pụtara ihe. Anyị ahụla ya ma gbaakwa ama banyere ya. Ya mere, ihe anyị na-ekwu okwu ya, na ihe anyị na-akọrọ unu bụ banyere ndụ ebighị ebi ahụ nke ya na Nna nọ na mbụ; nke e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè nye anyị. (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.
Anyị na-ekwusara unu ihe anyị hụrụ na nke anyị nụrụ, ka unu soro anyị nwee nnwekọ. Nʼezie nnwekọ anyị bụ nke anyị na Nna na nke Ọkpara ya bụ Jisọs Kraịst, na-enwekọ.
4 And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
Anyị na-edere unu ihe ndị a nʼihi ime ka ọṅụ anyị zuo oke.
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.
Nke a bụ ozi ahụ anyị nụrụ site nʼaka ya, nke anyị na-ekwusakwara unu. Chineke bụ ìhè, ọchịchịrị ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼime ya.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
Ya mere ọ bụrụ na anyị asị na anyị na ya nọ nʼezi nnwekọ ma na-ebi nʼime ọchịchịrị, ọ bụ okwu ụgha ka anyị na-ekwu. Eziokwu ahụ adịghịkwa nʼime anyị.
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.
Ma ọ bụrụ na anyị na-ebi ndụ anyị nʼìhè, dị ka ya onwe ya si nọọ nʼìhè, mgbe ahụ anyị na ibe anyị na-enwe ezi nnwekọ. Ọbara Jisọs bụ Ọkpara ya na-asachapụkwa anyị mmehie anyị niile.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Ma ọ bụrụ na anyị asị na anyị adịghị eme mmehie, anyị na-eduhie onwe anyị, na-ajụkwa ịnabata eziokwu ahụ nʼime anyị.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
Ma ọ bụrụ na anyị ekwupụta mmehie anyị, onye ahụ kwesiri ntụkwasị obi na onye ezi omume, ọ ga-agbaghara anyị mmehie anyị niile, sachapụkwa anyị site nʼajọ omume anyị niile.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị asị na anyị emeghị mmehie ọbụla, anyị na-akpọ ya onye na-ekwu okwu ụgha, okwu ya enwekwaghị ọnọdụ nʼime anyị.
