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--
Au suraꞌ susura ia soꞌal Lamatualain Hara-liin mana nendi masodꞌaꞌ. Hara-lii mana nendi masodꞌaꞌ ia, sia eniꞌ a mia raefafoꞌ fefeun. Leleꞌ ia au, o nonoo nggara mita E no mata mara ena. Hai rena E no hai ndiki mara. Ma hai nggama E no lima mara boe. Hai mita E taꞌo naa,
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)
huu Ana nema sia hai taladꞌa mara. Dalahulun, Ana leo no Aman, te ia na Ana natudꞌu Aon nema nggita. Huu naa, hai mimbirani mifadꞌe neu nggi taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ, nda mana etuꞌ sa. Te Eni ia, Hara-lii mana nendi masodꞌaꞌ. (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.
Hai mae mifadꞌe nggi, basa saa fo hai mitaꞌ a, ma basa saa fo hai renaꞌ a ena, naa fo ama bisa ralaꞌ esa mo hai boe. Huu basa hita nenepaꞌa to Lamatualain no Anan fo Ana haitua nemaꞌ a, naeni Yesus Kristus.
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
Dadꞌi hai suraꞌ susura ia, fo tao nemehoꞌo rala mara. No taꞌo naa, hai rala mara o boe maꞌahee.
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.
Nenoriꞌ fo Yesus nanori neu hai, ia na hai mae mifadꞌe neu nggi, naeni taꞌo ia: Lamatualain naa, malolen seli. Ana nda naꞌena deꞌulakaꞌ mbei sa boe. Huu Ana onaꞌ manggareloꞌ mana naronda, nda naꞌena maꞌahatuꞌ mbei sa boe.
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.
Mete ma hita olaꞌ tae, “Hita tasodꞌa ralaꞌ esa to Lamatuaꞌ,” tao-tao te hita feꞌe tasodꞌa tao deꞌulakaꞌ, na, naa onaꞌ hita tasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Huu hita olaꞌ peko-lelekoꞌ, ma nda tasodꞌa tungga dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
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.
Te mete ma tasodꞌa tungga dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, na, hita onaꞌ atahori mana nasodꞌa sia Lamatualain manggarelon rala. No taꞌo naa, hita bisa tasodꞌa ralaꞌ sa, esa no esa. Ma rala tara dadꞌi meumareꞌ, huu Lamatualain Anan Yesus mate, ma raan fee ambon neu basa sala-kilu tara ena.
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
Mete ma hita olaꞌ tae, “Hita nda tao salaꞌ sa,” na, naa dadꞌi tanda oi, hita eꞌedik tala baliꞌ ao tara, ma nda tahine ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Te mete ma hita tataa sala-kilu tara, dei fo Lamatualain, mana naꞌena rala ndoos, tao tungga hehelu-fufulin ma fee ambon neu sala tara, ma tao nameu rala tara.
10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
Mete ma hita olaꞌ tae, “Hita nda tao tita salaꞌ sa,” na, naa hita tae Lamatualain mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Huu Ana olaꞌ ena nae, basa atahori tao salaꞌ. Ma mete ma hita olaꞌ taꞌo naa, na, naa natudꞌu ena oi, Hara-lii nda hambu sia rala tara sa.
