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—
Oyo ezalaki wuta na ebandeli, oyo toyokaki, oyo tomonaki na miso na biso, oyo totalaki malamu, mpe oyo maboko na biso esimbaki, yango nde tozali kotatola na tina na Liloba na bomoi.
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)
Bomoi emimonisaki; tomoni yango, tozali kotatola na tina na yango mpe kosakola epai na bino bomoi ya seko oyo ezalaki elongo na Tata mpe emimonisi epai na biso. (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;
Tozali kosakola epai na bino makambo oyo tomoni mpe toyoki, mpo ete bino mpe bozala moko na biso. Nzokande, biso tozali moko na Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Ye.
4 and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
Yango wana tozali kokomela bino makambo oyo mpo na kokomisa esengo na biso ya kokoka.
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;
Tala makambo oyo toyoki na tina na Ye mpe tozali koyebisa bino: Nzambe azali pole, mpe molili ezali te kati na Ye.
6 if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;
Soki tolobi ete tozali moko na Ye, nzokande tozali kotambola kati na molili, wana tozali bakosi mpe tozali kotambola na solo te.
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;
Kasi soki tozali kotambola kati na pole ndenge Ye moko Nzambe azali kati na pole, wana tozali moko, bamoko na bamosusu, mpe makila ya Yesu, Mwana na Ye, ezali kopetola biso na masumu nyonso.
8 if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us;
Soki tolobi ete tozali na masumu te, wana tozali komikosa biso moko mpe solo ezali te kati na biso.
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;
Soki toyamboli masumu na biso, Nzambe akolimbisa biso mpe akopetola biso na mabe nyonso, pamba te azali Sembo mpe Moyengebene.
10 if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
Soki tolobi ete tosalaka masumu te, wana tokomisi Nzambe mokosi mpe Liloba na Ye ezali te kati na biso.
