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—
ādito ya āsīd yasya vāg asmābhiraśrāvi yañca vayaṁ svanetrai rdṛṣṭavanto yañca vīkṣitavantaḥ svakaraiḥ spṛṣṭavantaśca taṁ jīvanavādaṁ vayaṁ jñāpayāmaḥ|
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)
sa jīvanasvarūpaḥ prakāśata vayañca taṁ dṛṣṭavantastamadhi sākṣyaṁ dadmaśca, yaśca pituḥ sannidhāvavarttatāsmākaṁ samīpe prakāśata ca tam anantajīvanasvarūpaṁ vayaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ| (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;
asmābhi ryad dṛṣṭaṁ śrutañca tadeva yuṣmān jñāpyate tenāsmābhiḥ sahāṁśitvaṁ yuṣmākaṁ bhaviṣyati| asmākañca sahāṁśitvaṁ pitrā tatputreṇa yīśukhrīṣṭena ca sārddhaṁ bhavati|
4 and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
aparañca yuṣmākam ānando yat sampūrṇo bhaved tadarthaṁ vayam etāni likhāmaḥ|
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;
vayaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ tasmāt śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ seyam| īśvaro jyotistasmin andhakārasya leśo'pi nāsti|
6 if we may say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and may walk in the darkness—we lie, and do not [speak] the truth;
vayaṁ tena sahāṁśina iti gaditvā yadyandhākāre carāmastarhi satyācāriṇo na santo 'nṛtavādino bhavāmaḥ|
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;
kintu sa yathā jyotiṣi varttate tathā vayamapi yadi jyotiṣi carāmastarhi parasparaṁ sahabhāgino bhavāmastasya putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya rudhirañcāsmān sarvvasmāt pāpāt śuddhayati|
8 if we may say, “We have no sin,” we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us;
vayaṁ niṣpāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi svayameva svān vañcayāmaḥ satyamatañcāsmākam antare na vidyate|
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;
yadi svapāpāni svīkurmmahe tarhi sa viśvāsyo yāthārthikaścāsti tasmād asmākaṁ pāpāni kṣamiṣyate sarvvasmād adharmmāccāsmān śuddhayiṣyati|
10 if we may say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
vayam akṛtapāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi tam anṛtavādinaṁ kurmmastasya vākyañcāsmākam antare na vidyate|
