< 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
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 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)
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 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.
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 we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Yango wana tozali kokomela bino makambo oyo mpo na kokomisa esengo na biso ya kokoka.
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.
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 say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell 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 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.
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 say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, 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 confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Soki toyamboli masumu na biso, Nzambe akolimbisa biso mpe akopetola biso na mabe nyonso, pamba te azali Sembo mpe Moyengebene.
10 If we say that 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.
