1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning—which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched—it is about the Word of life.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉⲓⲟⲣϩϥ̅. ⲁⲛⲉⲛϭⲓϫ ϭⲙ̅ϭⲱⲙϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅.
2 Also, the life was made known, and we have seen it, and we bear witness to it. We are announcing to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and which has been made known to us. (aiōnios g166)
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟϥ. ⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϥϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ̅ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard we declare also to you, so you also will have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲧⲛ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
4 Also, we are writing these things to you so that our joy will be complete.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉ[ⲛ]ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
5 This is the message that we have heard from him and are announcing to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅. ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ. ⲉⲛϫⲓϭⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ⲉⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ [ⲙⲁⲩ]ⲁⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ.
