< 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 on, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
Au suraꞌ susura ia soꞌal Lamatualain Hara-liin mana nendi masodꞌaꞌ. Hara-lii mana nendi masodꞌaꞌ ia, sia eniꞌ a mia raefafoꞌ fefeun. Leleꞌ ia au, o nonoo nggara mita E no mata mara ena. Hai rena E no hai ndiki mara. Ma hai nggama E no lima mara boe. Hai mita E taꞌo naa,
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show to you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
huu Ana nema sia hai taladꞌa mara. Dalahulun, Ana leo no Aman, te ia na Ana natudꞌu Aon nema nggita. Huu naa, hai mimbirani mifadꞌe neu nggi taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ, nda mana etuꞌ sa. Te Eni ia, Hara-lii mana nendi masodꞌaꞌ. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Hai mae mifadꞌe nggi, basa saa fo hai mitaꞌ a, ma basa saa fo hai renaꞌ a ena, naa fo ama bisa ralaꞌ esa mo hai boe. Huu basa hita nenepaꞌa to Lamatualain no Anan fo Ana haitua nemaꞌ a, naeni Yesus Kristus.
4 And these things write we to you, that your joy may be full.
Dadꞌi hai suraꞌ susura ia, fo tao nemehoꞌo rala mara. No taꞌo naa, hai rala mara o boe maꞌahee.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Nenoriꞌ fo Yesus nanori neu hai, ia na hai mae mifadꞌe neu nggi, naeni taꞌo ia: Lamatualain naa, malolen seli. Ana nda naꞌena deꞌulakaꞌ mbei sa boe. Huu Ana onaꞌ manggareloꞌ mana naronda, nda naꞌena maꞌahatuꞌ mbei sa boe.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Mete ma hita olaꞌ tae, “Hita tasodꞌa ralaꞌ esa to Lamatuaꞌ,” tao-tao te hita feꞌe tasodꞌa tao deꞌulakaꞌ, na, naa onaꞌ hita tasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Huu hita olaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ, ma nda tasodꞌa tungga dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans us from all sin.
Te mete ma tasodꞌa tungga dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, na, hita onaꞌ atahori mana nasodꞌa sia Lamatualain manggarelon rala. No taꞌo naa, hita bisa tasodꞌa ralaꞌ sa, esa no esa. Ma rala tara dadꞌi meumareꞌ, huu Lamatualain Anan Yesus mate, ma raan fee ambon neu basa sala-kilu tara ena.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Mete ma hita olaꞌ tae, “Hita nda tao salaꞌ sa,” na, naa dadꞌi tanda oi, hita eꞌedik tala baliꞌ ao tara, ma nda tahine ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Te mete ma hita tataa sala-kilu tara, dei fo Lamatualain, mana naꞌena rala ndoos, tao tungga hehelu-fufulin ma fee ambon neu sala tara, ma tao nameu rala tara.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Mete ma hita olaꞌ tae, “Hita nda tao tita salaꞌ sa,” na, naa hita tae Lamatualain mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Huu Ana olaꞌ ena nae, basa atahori tao salaꞌ. Ma mete ma hita olaꞌ taꞌo naa, na, naa natudꞌu ena oi, Hara-lii nda hambu sia rala tara sa.
