1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which wee haue heard, which wee haue seene with these our eyes, which wee haue looked vpon, and these handes of ours haue handled of that Word of life,
Tunawajulisha lile lililokuwepo tangu mwanzo, lile tulilosikia, ambalo tumeliona kwa macho yetu, ambalo tumelitazama na kuligusa kwa mikono yetu, kuhusu Neno la uzima.
2 (For that life was made manifest, and wee haue seene it, and beare witnes, and shewe vnto you that eternall life, which was with the Father, and was made manifest vnto vs) (aiōnios g166)
Uzima huo ulidhihirishwa; nasi tumeuona na kuushuhudia, nasi twawatangazia uzima wa milele, ambao ulikuwa pamoja na Baba, nao ukadhihirishwa kwetu. (aiōnios g166)
3 That, I say, which wee haue seene and heard, declare wee vnto you, that yee may also haue fellowship with vs, and that our fellowship also may be with the Father, and with his Sonne Iesvs Christ.
Twawatangazia lile tuliloliona na kulisikia, ili nanyi mwe na ushirika nasi. Na ushirika wetu hasa ni pamoja na Baba na Mwanawe, Yesu Kristo.
4 And these thinges write we vnto you, that that your ioy may be full.
Tunaandika mambo haya ili furaha yetu ipate kuwa timilifu.
5 This then is the message which wee haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenes.
Huu ndio ujumbe tuliosikia kutoka kwake na kuwatangazia ninyi: kwamba Mungu ni nuru na ndani yake hamna giza lolote.
6 If wee say that wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not truely:
Kama tukisema kwamba twashirikiana naye huku tukienenda gizani, twasema uongo, wala hatutendi lililo kweli.
7 But if we walke in the light as he is in the light, we haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.
Lakini tukienenda nuruni, kama yeye alivyo nuruni, twashirikiana sisi kwa sisi na damu yake Yesu, Mwana wake, yatusafisha dhambi yote.
8 If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and trueth is not in vs.
Kama tukisema kwamba hatuna dhambi, twajidanganya wenyewe wala kweli haimo ndani yetu.
9 If we acknowledge our sinnes, he is faithfull and iust, to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.
Kama tukiziungama dhambi zetu, yeye ni mwaminifu na wa haki, atatusamehe dhambi zetu na kutusafisha kutoka kwenye udhalimu wote.
10 If wee say we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.
Kama tukisema hatukutenda dhambi, twamfanya yeye kuwa mwongo na neno lake halimo ndani yetu.
