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]).
Kut sim nu suwos ke Kas in moul, su nuna oan oe ke mutawauk ah me. Kut tuh lohng, ac kut sifacna liye ke mutasr; aok, kut liye tari, ac paosr kahlya tari.
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)
Ke pacl se moul sac ku in liyeyuk, kut tuh wi liye; ouinge kut kaskaskin ac srumun nu suwos ke moul kawil se ma oan yurin Papa, su akkalemyeyuk nu sesr. (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.
Ma su kut tuh liye ac lohng, kut fahkak pac nu suwos, tuh kowos in wikutyang ke moul in sie sin sie lasr yurin God Papa, ac yurin Jesus Christ, Wen natul.
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.
Kut simusla ma inge tuh engan lasr in arulana yohk.
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.
Inge, mwe luti se ma kut lohng tari sin Wen natul ac fahkak uh pa inge: God El kalem, ac wangin kutena lohsr in El.
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.
Kut fin fahk mu kut aengani yorol, a kut fufahsryesr in lohsr, kut kikiap ke ma kut fahk ac oayapa ke ma kut oru.
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]).
Tusruktu, kut fin fufahsryesr in kalem — oana ke El oasr in kalem — na oasr aengani lasr yurin sie sin sie, ac srahn Jesus, Wen natul, aknasnasyekutla liki ma koluk nukewa.
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
Kut fin fahk mu wangin ma koluk lasr, kut sifacna kiapwekutla ac wangin ma pwaye in kut.
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].
A kut fin fahkak ma koluk lasr nu sin God, El ac fah akpwayei wulela lal ac oru ma suwohs: El ac fah nunak munas nu sesr ke ma koluk lasr, ac aknasnasye kut liki ma sesuwos nukewa lasr.
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]!
Kut fin fahk mu kut soenna oru ma koluk, kut oru srulun God El kikiap, ac kas lal tia oan in kut.
