1 John 1
1 [I, John, am writing to you about] the one who existed before [there was anything else]. He is the one whom we [apostles] listened to [as he taught us!] We saw him! We ourselves looked at him and touched him! [He is the one who taught us] the message that [enables people to have eternal] life (OR, live [spiritually]).
Shin teshts kashi aap'i jango itsh guut'irwonee, kashi aap'anuwere no shishtsonat no aawon nobek'tso, nos'iiltsonat nokishonowere noshu'utsoniye.
2 Because he came here [to the earth] and we have seen him, we proclaim to you clearly that the one whom we have seen is the [one who] has always lived. He was [previously] with his Father in heaven, but he came to live among us. (aiōnios g166)
Kashanwere be'ere noowere bín bek'rone, no b́ jangosh gawitwone. Nihoke teshtsonat noosh be'ets dúre dúri kasho itsh keewitwone. (aiōnios g166)
3 We proclaim to you the [message about Jesus], the one whom we saw and heard, in order that you may have a close relationship with us. The ones whom we have a close relationship with are God our Father and his Son Jesus Christ.
Noonton ik woto itdetseetwek'o nobek'tsok'onat noshishtson itsh keewirwone. Ik nowotitwere nihonat b́ naay Iyesus Krstosntoniye.
4 I am writing to you about these things so that [you (will be convinced/believe]) [that they are true, and as a] result we may be completely joyful.
Nogeneeúwo s'een b́wototiwok'o han itsh guut'irwone.
5 The message that we heard from Christ and proclaim to you is this: God is [pure in every way. He never sins. He is like] [MET] a [brilliant] light that has no darkness at all.
Bíyokee noshishtsonat itsh nokewit wosho «Ik'o shááne, t'aluwonwere b́jamon bíyoke aaliye» etiruwoniye.
6 If we claim to have a close relationship with [God], but [we conduct our lives in an impure manner, that is like] living [MET] in [evil] darkness. We are lying. We are not conducting our lives according to [God’s] true message.
Mansh «Ik'onton ik woto detsfone» erfetsr t'aluwotse nobeetka wotiyal koote nokotiri, no aap'onat nofino arikaliye etee.
7 But living [in a pure manner], as God is [living in a pure manner] [MET] [in every way, is like living] in God’s light. If we do that, we have a close relationship with each other. Not only that, but [God] (acquits us/removes [the guilt]) [of] all our sins because [he accepts] what his Son Jesus did for us [when his] blood [flowed from his body when he died. So we should conduct our lives] ([in a manner according to what God says is pure]).
Wotowa eree bí sháánotse b́ beyirwok'o noowere sháánotse nobeyink'e no atsatsewo ik wotosh faliyank'one. Dab b́ naay Iyesus Krstos s'atsonwor morr jamotse noon s'aytsitwee.
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
Morro deshatsone no'etal notooke no ant'elciri, aronwere noytse aaliye.
9 But God will do what he says that he will do, and what he does is [always] right. So, if we confess to him that we [have behaved] sinfully, he will forgive [us for] our sins and (will free us from/remove) [the guilt of] all our sins. [Because of that], [we should confess to him that we have behaved sinfully].
No morro Ik'osh kish nokewitka wotiyal bí kááwonat amanek b́wottsosh nomorr jamo noosh orowa eteetwe nogond fin jamatsno noon s'ayintsitwe.
10 [Because God says that everyone has sinned], those who say/claim that they have never behaved sinfully talk [as though] God lies! They reject what God says [about us]!
Morro fineratsone no'etetkawotiyal Ik'one kotetsiye nowoshiri, bí aap'onwere noyitse aali etee.
