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]).
सुरुदेखि नै हुनुभएको जीवनको वचनको बारेमा, जुन हामीले सुनेका छौँ, हाम्रा आफ्नै आँखाले देखेका छौँ, हामीले विचार गरेका छौँ र हाम्रा आफ्नै हातहरूले छोएका छन्
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)
(अनि जीवन प्रकट गरियो र हामीले देखेका छौँ, गवाही दिन्छौँ, अनि तिमीहरूलाई अनन्त जीवन घोषणा गर्छौं जुन पितासँग थियो, र हामीलाई प्रकट गरिएको थियो); (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.
जुन हामीले देखेका र सुनेका छौँ, हामी तिमीहरूलाई पनि घोषणा गर्छौं, ताकि हामीहरूसँग तिमीहरूको सङ्गति होस् । हाम्रो सङ्गति पिता र उहाँको पुत्र येशू ख्रीष्टसँग हुन्छ ।
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.
र तिमीहरूको आनन्द पुरा होस् भनेर हामी यी कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई लेख्छौँ ।
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.
हामीले उहाँबाट सुनेको वचन यही हो र हामी तिमीहरूलाई घोषणा गर्छौं, कि परमेश्वर ज्योति हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँमा कुनै अन्धकार छैन ।
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.
हामीले उहाँसँग सगङ्ति गर्छौं भनी भन्छौँ र अन्धकारमा हिँड्छौँ भने, हामी झुट बोल्छौँ र सत्य व्यवहार गर्दैनौँ ।
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]).
तर उहाँ ज्योतिमा हुनुभएझैँ हामी ज्योतिमा हिँड्छौँ भने, हामी एक अर्कासँग सङ्गति गर्छौं, र उहाँका पुत्र येशू ख्रीष्टको रगतले हामीलाई हाम्रा सबै पापबाट शुद्ध पार्छ ।
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
यदि हामीले हामीसँग पाप छैन भन्छौँ भने, हामीले आफैँलाई धोका दिन्छौँ, र हामीसँग सत्य हुँदैन ।
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].
तर यदि हामीले आफ्ना पापहरू स्वीकार गर्छौं भने उहाँ हामीलाई हाम्रा पापहरू क्षमा गर्न र सबै अधर्मबाट हामीलाई शुद्ध पार्न विश्वासयोग्य र धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ ।
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]!
यदि हामीले पाप गरेका छैनौँ भन्छौँ भने हामीले उहाँलाई झुटा तुल्याउँछौँ, र उहाँको वचन हामीमा हुँदैन ।
