1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life, —
Kile kilichokuwapo tangu mwanzo-kile tulichokisikia, kile tulichokiona kwa macho yetu, kile tulichokitazama, na mikono yetu imekishika-kuhusu Neno la uzima.
2 And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; (aiōnios g166)
Na ule uzima ulifanywa kujulikana wazi, na tumeuona, na kuushuhudia, na kuwatangazia uzima wa milele, ambao ulikuwa kwa Baba na ulifanywa kujulikana kwetu. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Kile tulichokiona na kukisikia twakitangaza kwenu pia, ili kwamba muweze kujumuika pamoja nasi, na ushirika wetu pamoja na Baba na Mwanae Yesu Kristo.
4 And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.
Na tunawandikia mambo haya ninyi ili kwamba furaha yetu iwe timilifu.
5 And this is the message which we have heard from him, and are reporting unto you, —that, God, is, light, and in him is, no darkness at all.
Huu ndio ujumbe tuliousikia kutoka kwake na kuwatangazia: Mungu ni nuru na ndani yake hakuna giza hata kidogo.
6 If we say—We have, fellowship, with him! and, in darkness, are walking, we are dealing falsely, and not doing the truth;
Kama tukisema kwamba tunaushirika naye na twatembea gizani, twadanganya na hatutendi kweli.
7 Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.
Lakini tukitembea katika nuru kama alivyo katika nuru, twashirikiana sisi kwa sisi, na damu ya Yesu Kristo, mwanae yatutakasa kutoka dhambi zote.
8 If we say—Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us.
Kama tukisema hatuna dhambi, twajidanganya wenyewe, na kweli haimo ndani yetu.
9 If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous—that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lakini tukizitubu dhambi zetu, yeye ni mwaminifu na haki kutusamehe dhambi zetu na kututakasa na uovu wote.
10 If we say—We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.
Tukisema kwamba hatujatenda dhambi, twamfanya yeye kuwa muongo, na neno lake halimo ndani yetu.
