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]).
ଆଦ୍ୟରୁ ଯେ ଥିଲେ, ଯାହାଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଶୁଣିଅଛୁ, ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ୱଚକ୍ଷୁରେ ଦେଖିଅଛୁ, ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ନିରୀକ୍ଷଣ କରିଅଛୁ ଓ ସ୍ୱହସ୍ତରେ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରିଅଛୁ, ସେହି ଜୀବନ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ବାକ୍ୟ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଜଣାଉଅଛୁ।
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)
ସେହି ଜୀବନ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲେ, ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦେଖିଅଛୁ ଓ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦେଉଅଛୁ; ଯେଉଁ ଅନନ୍ତ ଜୀବନ ପିତାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗରେ ଥିଲେ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲେ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଣାଉଅଛୁ। (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.
ଯାହା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦେଖିଅଛୁ ଓ ଶୁଣିଅଛୁ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଜଣାଉଅଛୁ, ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ମଧ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସହଭାଗିତା ହୋଇପାରେ; ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସହଭାଗିତା ପିତା ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଅଛି।
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.
ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଆନନ୍ଦ ଯେପରି ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହୁଏ, ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଏହିସବୁ ଲେଖୁଅଛୁ।
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.
ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଯେଉଁ ସମ୍ବାଦ ଶୁଣିଅଛୁ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଣାଉଅଛୁ, ତାହା ଏହି, ଈଶ୍ବର ଜ୍ୟୋତିଃସ୍ୱରୂପ, ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ଅନ୍ଧକାରର ଲେଶ ନାହିଁ।
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.
ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସହଭାଗିତା ଅଛି, ଏହା କହି ଯଦି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଅନ୍ଧକାରରେ ଆଚରଣ କରୁ ତାହାହେଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମିଥ୍ୟାବାଦୀ, ଆଉ ସତ୍ୟ ଆଚରଣ କରୁ ନ ଥାଉ।
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]).
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଯେପରି ଜ୍ୟୋତିର୍ନିବାସୀ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯଦି ସେହିପରି ଜ୍ୟୋତିଃରେ ଆଚରଣ କରୁ, ତେବେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପରସ୍ପର ସହଭାଗିତା ଅଛି, ପୁଣି, ତାହାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ରକ୍ତ ସମସ୍ତ ପାପରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରିଷ୍କାର କରେ।
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପାପ ନାହିଁ! ଏହା ଯଦି କହୁ, ତାହାହେଲେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣାକୁ ପ୍ରବଞ୍ଚନା କରୁ, ପୁଣି, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ସତ୍ୟ ନାହିଁ।
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].
ଯଦି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ପାପ ସ୍ୱୀକାର କରୁ, ତେବେ ସେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରିବାକୁ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ଅଧର୍ମରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରିଷ୍କାର କରିବାକୁ ବିଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ ଓ ନ୍ୟାୟବାନ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
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]!
ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପାପ କରି ନାହୁଁ, ଏହା ଯଦି କହୁ, ତାହାହେଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମିଥ୍ୟାବାଦୀ କରୁ, ପୁଣି, ତାହାଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ନାହିଁ।
