< 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;
Keresete o ne a ntse a le teng fa lefatshe le simologa, le gone nna ke mmonye ka matlho a me ka bo ka mo reetsa a bua. Ke mo amile ka diatla tsa me. Ene ka sebele ke molaetsa wa Botshelo wa Modimo.
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) (aiōnios )
Ene yo, yo e leng Botshelo jo bo tswang kwa Modimong re ne ra mmontshiwa, jalo re supa gore re mmonye: ke bua kaga Keresete, yo e leng Botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. O ne a na le Rara mme ra mmontshiwa. (aiōnios )
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Gape ka re, re lo bolelela ka se rona re se bonyeng tota ra bo ra se utlwa, gore lo tle lo nne le seabe mo bolekaneng le mo boitumelong jo re nang najo mo Modimong le mo go Jesu Keresete MorwaOne.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
Mme fa lo dira jaaka ke bua mo lokwalong lo, le lona lo tlaa tlala boitumelo, mme le rona re tlaa itumela.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
O ke molaetsa o Modimo o o re neetseng go o lo bolelela: gore Modimo ke lesedi mme mo go One ga go na lefifi gotlhelele.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Jalo fa re re re ditsala tsa one, mme re tswelela re nna mo lefifing la semowa le mo sebeng, re bua maaka.
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 cleanseth us from all sin.
Mme fa re nna mo leseding la Modimo, fela jaaka Keresete a dira, hong re na le bolekane jo bo hakgamatsang le boitumelo yo mongwe mo go yo mongwe, mme madi a ga Jesu Morwa One a re tlhapisa mo boleong bongwe le bongwe.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Fa re re ga re na boleo, re a itsietsa, ebile re gana go amogela boammaaruri.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Mme fa re ipolela dibe tsa rona mo go One, o ka ikanngwa go re itshwarela le go re tlhapisa mo tshiamololong nngwe le nngwe. (Ebile go tshwanetse Modimo sentle thata go re direla jaana gonne Keresete o swetse go tlosa dibe tsa rona).
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Fa re re ga re a leofa, re bua maaka ebile re bitsa Modimo moaki, gonne wa re re leofile.
