< 1 John 1 >
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life—
ⲁ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ϫⲉⲙϫⲱⲙϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ.
2 and the Life appeared, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the continuous Life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us— (aiōnios )
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. (aiōnios )
3 we declare to you that which we have seen and heard, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;
ⲅ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲥⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
4 and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
5 And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness is not in Him at all;
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉϥ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
6 if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;
ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲉⲛϫⲉⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ.
7 and if we may walk in the light, as He is in the light—we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ cleanses us from every sin;
ⲍ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
8 if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us;
ⲏ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ.
9 if we may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;
ⲑ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲭⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟⲛ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
10 if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
ⲓ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ
