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 saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲓⲟⲣϩϥ̅. ⲁⲛⲉⲛϭⲓϫ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲱⲙϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅.
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios g166)
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟϥ. ⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϥϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
4 And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉ[ⲛ]ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲉⲛϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ⲉⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ [ⲙⲁⲩ]ⲁⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
