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 upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life;
Izvo zvakanga zviripo kubva pakutanga, izvo zvatakanzwa, zvatakaona nameso edu, zvatakatarira uye zvatakabata namaoko, izvozvi ndizvo zvatinoparidza zveShoko roupenyu.
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and testify, and show to you that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
Upenyu hwakaonekwa; takahuona uye tikapupura nezvahwo, uye tinoparidza kwamuri upenyu husingaperi, hwakanga huri kuna Baba uye hwakaratidzwa kwatiri. (aiōnios g166)
3 That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Tinoparidza kwamuri zvatakaona nezvatakanzwa, kuti nemiwo mugowadzana nesu. Uye tinowadzana naBaba noMwanakomana wavo, Jesu Kristu.
4 And these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.
Tiri kunyora izvi kuti mufaro wedu uzadziswe.
5 This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Iyi ndiyo mharidzo yatakanzwa kwaari uye yatinoparidza kwamuri kuti: Mwari ndiye chiedza; maari hamuna rima zvachose.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Kana tichiti tinowadzana naye asi tichifamba murima, tinoreva nhema uye hatigari muchokwadi.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Asi kana tichifamba muchiedza, saiye ari muchiedza, tinowadzana nomumwe nomumwe wedu, uye ropa raJesu, Mwanakomana wake, rinotinatsa pazvivi zvose.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kana tichiti hatina chivi, tinozvinyengera uye chokwadi hachizi matiri.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Kana tichireurura zvivi zvedu, iye akatendeka uye akarurama, uye achatikanganwira zvivi zvedu agotinatsa pakusarurama kwose.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Kana tichiti hatina kutadza, tinomuita murevi wenhema uye shoko rake harizi matiri.
