< 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.
We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning 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 )
This life was revealed; we have seen it, and we testify and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and that was revealed to us. (aiōnios )
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.
What we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Tũramwandĩkĩra maũndũ maya nĩguo gĩkeno giitũ kĩiganĩre.
We are writing these things to you so that our joy may be full.
5 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa tũiguĩte kuuma kũrĩ we, na nĩyo tũramũmenyithia, atĩ: Ngai nĩ ũtheri; thĩinĩ wake gũtirĩ nduma o na hanini.
This is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
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 fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by 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 in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Tũngiuga tũtirĩ na mehia, nĩ kwĩheenia tũkwĩheenia, naguo ũhoro wa ma ndũrĩ thĩinĩ witũ.
If we say that we do not have 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, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and 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.
