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—
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 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 g166)
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 g166)
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;
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 we write to 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 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;
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 may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] 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 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;
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 may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, 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 may confess our sins, He is steadfast and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every 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 may say, “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.
