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.
Na kung alinman mula sa simula- na aming narinig, na nakita ng aming mga mata, na aming natunghayan, at nahawakan ng aming mga kamay-patungkol sa Salita ng buhay.
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)
At ang buhay ay nagawang ipaalam, at aming nakita, at nasaksihan, at hinayag sa inyo ang buhay na walang hanggan, na noon ay kasama ng Ama, at nagawang ipaalam sa amin. (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.
Iyon na aming nakita at narinig inihayag din namin sa inyo, sa gayon ay magkaroon kayo ng pakikisama sa amin, at ang aming pakikisama ay kasama ang Ama at kasama ang kanyang Anak na si Jesu-Cristo.
4 We are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
At sinulat namin ang mga bagay na ito sa inyo upang ang aming kagalakan ay maging ganap.
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.
Ito ang mensahe na aming narinig mula sa kanya at ipinapahayag sa inyo: Ang Diyos ay liwanag at sa kanya'y walang kadiliman ang lahat.
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 sinasabi natin na tayo ay mayroong pakikisama sa Kanya at lumalakad sa kadiliman, tayo ay nagsisinungaling at hindi isinasagawa ang katotohanan.
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.
Pero kung tayo'y lumalakad sa liwanag katulad niyang nasa liwanag, meron tayong pakikisama sa isa't isa at ang dugo ni Jesus na kanyang Anak ay naglilinis sa atin mula sa lahat ng kasalanan.
8 If we say, “we have no sin,” then we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kung sinasabi natin na wala tayong kasalanan, niloloko natin ang ating mga sarili at ang katotohanan ay wala sa atin.
9 If we confess our sins, he is just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.
Pero kung tayo ay umamin sa ating mga kasalanan, siya ay matapat at matuwid na patawarin tayo sa ating mga kasalanan at linisin tayo mula sa lahat ng kasamaan.
10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make God a liar, and his Word is not in us.
Kapag sinabi natin na hindi tayo nagkasala, ginawa natin siyang isang sinungaling, at ang kanyang salita ay wala sa atin.
