< 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]).
ئێمە ئەمە ڕادەگەیەنین سەبارەت بە وشەی ژیان، ئەوەی لە سەرەتاوە بوو، ئەوەی گوێمان لێی بوو، ئەوەی بە چاوی خۆمان بینیمان، ئەوەی تەماشامان کرد و دەستمان لێیدا.
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)
ژیانەکە دەرکەوت، ئێمە بینیومانە و شایەتی بۆ دەدەین، ژیانە هەتاهەتاییەکەتان بۆ ڕادەگەیەنین، ئەو ژیانەی کە لەلای باوکی ئاسمانی بوو و بۆ ئێمە دەرکەوت. (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.
ئەوەی بینیومانە و بیستوومانە بە ئێوەی ڕادەگەیەنین، بۆ ئەوەی پێکەوە ژیانی هاوبەشمان هەبێت، پێکەوە ژیانی ئێمەش پەیوەستە لەگەڵ باوکی ئاسمانی و عیسای مەسیحی کوڕی.
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.
ئێمە ئەمانەتان بۆ دەنووسین تاکو خۆشییەکەمان پڕ و تەواو بێت.
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.
ئەمەش ئەو پەیامەیە کە لە مەسیحەوە بیستمان و پێتانی ڕادەگەیەنین: خودا ڕووناکییە، هیچ تاریکییەکی تێدا نییە.
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.
ئەگەر بڵێین لەگەڵیدا پێکەوە دەژین و بە تاریکیدا بڕۆین، ئەوا درۆ دەکەین و ڕاست ناکەین،
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]).
بەڵام ئەگەر بە ڕووناکیدا بڕۆین، هەروەک چۆن خودا لە ڕووناکیدایە، ئەوا پێکەوە دەژین و خوێنی عیسای کوڕی لە هەموو گوناهێک پاکمان دەکاتەوە.
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
ئەگەر بڵێین گوناهمان نییە، ئەوا خۆمان هەڵدەخەڵەتێنین و ڕاستی لە ئێمەدا نییە.
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].
ئەگەر دانمان بە گوناهەکانماندا نا، ئەوا خودا دڵسۆز و دادپەروەرە، تەنانەت لە گوناهەکانمان خۆشدەبێت و لە هەموو ناڕەواییەک پاکمان دەکاتەوە.
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]!
ئەگەر بڵێین گوناهمان نەکردووە، ئەوا بە درۆزنی دادەنێین و پەیامەکەی لە ئێمەدا نییە.
