1 Johana 1
1 Ũhoro ũrĩa warĩ kuo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria, ũrĩa tũiguĩte, na ũrĩa tuonete na maitho maitũ, na tũkawĩrorera, namo moko maitũ makaũhutia, o ũhoro ũcio wa Kiugo kĩa muoyo, nĩguo tũhunjagia.
THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life;
2 Muoyo ũcio nĩwonithanirio; na ithuĩ nĩtũwonete na tũkaheana ũira waguo, na ithuĩ tũkamũhunjagĩria ũhoro wa muoyo wa tene na tene, ũrĩa watũire na Ithe witũ, na ũkĩonithanio kũrĩ ithuĩ. (aiōnios g166)
(for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
3 Ithuĩ tũmũhunjagĩria kĩrĩa tuonete na tũkaigua, nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũgĩe ngwatanĩro na ithuĩ. Nayo ngwatanĩro iitũ nĩ ngwatanĩro na Ithe witũ, o na Mũriũ Jesũ Kristũ.
that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Tũramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya nĩguo gĩkeno giitũ kĩiganĩre.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be complete.
5 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa tũiguĩte kuuma kũrĩ we, na nĩyo tũramũmenyithia, atĩ: Ngai nĩ ũtheri; thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ nduma o na hanini.
And this is the promise which we have heard from him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and that darkness in him there is none.
6 Tũngiuga atĩ tũrĩ ngwatanĩro nake, tũgĩthiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya nduma-rĩ, ũguo nĩkũheenania, naguo ũhoro wa ma ndũtũũraga thĩinĩ witũ.
If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and practise not the truth:
7 No tũngĩthiĩ na ũtheri, o ta ũrĩa we arĩ ũtheri-inĩ, tũrĩ na ngwatanĩro mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, nayo thakame ya Jesũ, Mũrũ wake, nĩĩtũtheragia, tũgathirwo nĩ mehia mothe.
but if we walk in the light, as he is himself in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Tũngiuga tũtirĩ na mehia, nĩ kwĩheenia tũkwĩheenia, naguo ũhoro wa ma ndũrĩ thĩinĩ witũ.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Tũngiumbũra mehia maitũ-rĩ, we nĩ mwĩhokeku na nĩ wa kĩhooto, na nĩegũtũrekera mehia maitũ na atũtherie tũthirwo nĩ maũndũ mothe marĩa matarĩ ma ũthingu.
If we confess our sins, faithful is he and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Tũngiuga tũtiĩhĩtie-rĩ, tũkũmũtua wa maheeni, naguo ũhoro wake ndũrĩ na handũ thĩinĩ witũ.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
