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.
Ko te mea o te timatanga, ko ta matou i rongo ai, ko ta o matou kanohi i kite ai, ko ta matou i titiro atu ai, ko ta o matou ringaringa i whawha atu ai, ko nga mea o te Kupu o te ora;
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)
I whakakitea mai hoki te ora, a kite ana matou, na ka whakaatu nei, ka kauwhau nei ki a koutou i te ora tonu, i tera i te Matua i mua, a kua whakakitea mai nei ki a matou; (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.
Ko ta matou ra i kite ai, i rongo ai, e kauwhautia atu nei e matou ki a koutou, kia whakahoatia ai koutou ki a matou: na, ko to tatou whakahoanga kei te Matua, kei tana Tama hoki, kei a Ihu Karaiti.
4 Also, we are writing these things to you so that our joy will be complete.
Na ka tuhituhia atu nei enei mea e matou ki a koutou, kia tino nui ai to koutou hari.
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.
Ko te korero ano tenei i rongo ai matou ki a ia, a ka korerotia atu nei e matou ki a koutou, na, he marama te Atua, kahore rawa hoki he pouri i a ia.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth.
Ki te mea tatou e whakahoa ana tatou ki a ia, me te haere ano tatou i te pouri, e korero teka ana tatou, ehara hoki i te pono ta tatou e mahi nei;
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.
Ki te haere ia tatou i te marama, me ia hoki e noho nei i te marama, na ka whakahoa tatou tetahi ki tetahi, e horoia ana ano o tatou hara katoa e nga toto o tana Tama, o Ihu Karaiti.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Ki te mea tatou kahore o tatou hara, e whakapohehe ana tatou i a tatou ano, a kahore te pono i roto i a tatou.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Ki te whaki tatou i o tatou hara, e pono ana ia, e tika ana, a ka murua e ia o tatou hara, ka horoia atu hoki o tatou he katoa.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.
Ki te mea tatou kahore tatou i hara, ka meinga ia he kaikorero teka, kahore hoki tana kupu i roto i a tatou.
