1 John 1
1 We write to you about the Word of life, which has been in existence from the beginning. We write of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands.
Mao kana ang gikan sa sinugdanan—nga among nadungog, nga among nakita pinaagi sa among mga mata, nga amo usab nga gitan-aw, ug ang among mga kamot maoy naggunit—may kalabotan ang Pulong sa kinabuhi.
2 That life was made visible, and we have seen it. We bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that eternal life which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
Ug ang kinabuhi nahimong dayag, ug kami usab nakakita, ug nahimo nga mga saksi, ug nagpahayag kaninyo sa kinabuhing walay kataposan, nga uban diha sa Amahan, ug nahimo nga dayag dinhi kanato. (aiōnios g166)
3 It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
Ang among nakita ug nadungog amo usab nga gipahayag diha kaninyo, aron nga kamo adunay panaghiusa uban kanamo, ug ang atong panaghiusa uban sa Amahan ug uban sa iyang Anak, si Jesu-Cristo.
4 We are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
Ug kami nagsulat niining mga butanga kaninyo aron nga ang atong kalipay mahimong hingpit.
5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
Mao kini ang mensahe nga among nadungog gikan kaniya ug isangyaw diha kaninyo: Ang Dios kahayag ug diha kaniya wala na gayoy kangitngit.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and yet continue to walk in the darkness, our words and our lives are a lie.
Kung kita moingon nga kita adunay panaghiusa uban kaniya apan naglakaw diha sa kangitngit, namakak kita ug wala nagkinabuhi sa kamatuoran.
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.
Apan kung kita maglakaw diha sa kahayag ingon nga siya anaa sa kahayag, kita adunay panaghiusa sa matag-usa ug ang dugo ni Jesus nga iyang Anak naghinlo kanato gikan sa tanang sala.
8 If we say, ‘we have no sin,’ then we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kung kita moingon nga kita walay sala, kita milimbong sa atong kaugaligon ug ang kamatuoran wala dinhi kanato.
9 If we confess our sins, he is just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
Apan kung isugid nato ang atong mga sala, siya matinud-anon ug matarong nga mopasaylo kanato sa atong mga sala ug maghinlo kanato gikan sa tanang kalapasan.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make God a liar, and his Word is not in us.
Kung kita moingon nga kita wala makasala, kita naghimo kaniya nga bakakon, ug ang iyang pulong wala dinhi kanato.
