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
Èyí tí ó wà láti àtètèkọ́ṣe, tí àwa ti gbọ́, tí àwa ti fi ojú wa rí, tí àwa sì ti tẹjúmọ́, tí ọwọ́ wa sì ti dì mú; èyí tí a kéde; ní ti ọ̀rọ̀ ìyè;
2 (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal [life], which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); (aiōnios g166)
iyè náà sì ti farahàn, àwa sì ti rí i, àwa sì ń jẹ́rìí, àwa sì ń sọ ti ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun náà fún yín, tí ó ti ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Baba, tí ó sì farahàn fún wa. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:
Àwa ń sọ fún yín, èyí tí àwa ti rí, tí àwa sì ti gbọ́, kí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú kí ó lè ní ìdàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú wa. Nítòótọ́ ìdàpọ̀ wa sì ń bẹ pẹ̀lú Baba àti pẹ̀lú ọmọ rẹ̀, Jesu Kristi.
4 and these things we write, that our joy may be fulfilled.
Àwa sì kọ̀wé nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí yín, kí ayọ̀ yín kí ó lè di kíkún.
5 And this is the message which we have heard from him, and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Èyí sì ni iṣẹ́ tí àwa ti gbọ́ lẹ́nu rẹ̀, tí àwa sì ń jẹ́ fún yín pé, ìmọ́lẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run; ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ kò sì òkùnkùn rárá.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Bí àwa bá wí pé àwa ní ìdàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí àwa sì ń rìn nínú òkùnkùn, àwa ń ṣèké, àwa kò sì gbé nínú òtítọ́.
7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwa bá ń rìn nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun ti ń wà nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀, àwa ní ìdàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú ara wa, àti pé ẹ̀jẹ̀ Jesu Kristi, Ọmọ rẹ̀, wẹ̀ wá nù kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbogbo.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Bí àwa bá wí pé àwa kò ní ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, àwa ń tan ara wa jẹ, òtítọ́ kan kò sì ṣí nínú wa.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Bí àwa bá jẹ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, olóòtítọ́ àti olódodo ni òun láti dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa jì wá, àti láti wẹ̀ wá nù kúrò nínú àìṣòdodo gbogbo.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Bí àwa bá wí pé àwa kò dẹ́ṣẹ̀, àwa mú un ní èké, ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kò sì ṣí nínú wa.
