1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
Kadto nga diha na sukad pa sa sinugdan, nga among nadungog, nga among nakita pinaagi sa among kaugalingong mga mata, nga among nasud-ong ug nahikap pinaagi sa among mga kamot, mahitungod sa pulong nga nagahatag ug kinabuhi
2 the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
(ug ang kinabuhi gikapadayag, ug kami nakakita niini ug magapanghimatuod niini, ug magamantala kaninyo sa maong dayong kinabuhi, nga diha kauban sa Amahan ug nga gikapadayag kanamo), (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
kadto nga among nakita ug nadungog among ginamantala usab kaninyo, aron kamo usab makabaton sa pakig-ambitay uban kanamo; ug ang atong pakig-ambitay maoy pakig-ambitay uban sa Amahan ug sa iyang Anak nga si Jesu-Cristo.
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
Ug kami nagasulat niini kaninyo aron mamahingpit ang among kalipay.
5 This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
Ang gipahibalo nga among nadungog gikan kaniya ug karon among ginamantala kaninyo mao kini: nga ang Dios kahayag ug diha kaniya wala gayuy kangitngit.
6 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
Kon kita magaingon nga may pakig-ambitay kita uban kaniya, apan nagalakaw usab kita diha sa kangitngit, nan, kita nagabakak ug wala magkinabuhi subay sa kamatuoran;
7 But if we live 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 all sin.
apan kon kita magalakaw diha sa kahayag, maingon nga siya anaa sa kahayag, nan, kita may pakig-ambitay ang usa sa usa, ug ang dugo ni Jesus nga iyang Anak nagahinlo kanato gikan sa tanang sala.
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
Kon kita magaingon nga wala kitay sala, kita ra ang nagapahisalaag sa atong kaugalingon, ug wala kanato ang kamatuoran.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Kon isugid ta ang atong mga sala, siya kasaligan ug makatarunganon nga tungod niana mopasaylo siya sa atong mga sala ug magahinlo kanato gikan sa tanang pagkadili makatarunganon.
10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
Kon kita magaingon nga wala kita makasala, siya atong gipakabakakon, ug wala kanato ang iyang pulong.
