1 Jan 1
1 M'ap ekri nou sou pawòl ki bay lavi a, pawòl ki te la depi nan konmansman tout bagay. Nou te tande l', nou te wè l' ak pwòp je nou, nou te gade l' byen gade, nou te manyen l' ak men nou.
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, concerning the Word of life--
2 Lè lavi a te parèt, nou te wè li. Se poutèt sa mwen ka pale nou sou sa: m'ap fè nou konnen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an, lavi ki te la avèk Papa a, lavi ki te parèt aklè devan nou an. (aiōnios g166)
the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
3 Sa nou menm nou te wè a, sa nou te tande a, m'ap fè nou konnen l' tou pou nou ka viv ansanm yonn ak lòt nan lavi nou tout n'ap mennen ansanm ak Papa a ansanm ak Pitit li a, Jezikri.
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Yahushua the Messiah.
4 M'ap ekri nou sa pou kè nou ka kontan nèt ale.
And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
5 Men nouvèl nou te tande nan bouch Jezikri a, nouvèl m'ap fè nou konnen an: Bondye se limyè. Pa gen fènwa nan Bondye.
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that YHWH is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 Si nou di n'ap viv ansanm ak li, pou anmenmtan n'ap viv nan fènwa, n'ap bay manti ni nan sa n'ap di, ni nan sa n'ap fè.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 Men, si n'ap viv nan limyè menm jan li menm Bondye li nan limyè, lè sa a se tout bon n'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Jezi, Pitit Bondye a, va netwaye nou ak san li anba tout peche nou yo.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yahushua the Messiah His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Si nou di nou pa gen peche, se tèt nou n'ap twonpe. Verite a pa nan nou.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Men, si nou rekonèt devan Bondye nou fè peche, nou mèt gen konfyans nan li. Paske l'ap fè sak gen pou fèt la: la padonnen tout peche nou yo, la netwaye nou anba tou sa ki mal.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Men, si nou di nou pa t' fè peche, nou fè Bondye pase pou mantò: Pawòl li pa nan kè nou.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
