1 Joni 1
1 Ama Kea ese agafare korapa me'nea ke, nentahita tavunu negeta, konazana tazanu avako nehuta, asimu eri Kegu nehune.
It is of what has been in existence from the Beginning, of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands — it is about the Word who is the Life that we are now writing.
2 Ana asimu'mo eama higeta tagra negeta, huama huta mevava asimura, Nefa ene me'nea tagrite eama hu'neazanku neramasmune. (aiōnios g166)
That Life was made visible, and we have seen it, and now bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that Immortal Life, which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Keta antahita hu'nonazanku, tagra tamagri enena neramasmunankita, tamagra tagri'ene emeri mago hutma manisageta, tamage huta Nefane, Nemofo Jisas Kraisi'enena tragoteta manigahune.
It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have communion with us. And our communion is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Tagra ama naneke negronankino, ama anazamo musezantia avitesiegu nehune.
And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
5 Menina Knare Musenke Agripinti antahi'nona ke neramasmune, Anumzana masa mani'neankino, Agripina hanizana magore huno omanetfa hu'ne.
These, then, are the Tidings that we have heard from him and now tell you — ‘God is Light, and Darkness has no place at all in him.’
6 Tagrama huta Agrane vano nehune huta nehuta, hanizampima vano hanunana tagra havige nehuta, tamage kemofona amage nontone.
If we say that we have communion with him, and yet continue to live in the Darkness, we lie, and are not living the Truth.
7 Hu'neanagi tagrama masare'ma vano huta, Agrama masare mani'nea kna'ma nehuta, tagrama trogoteta manisunkeno'a, Anumzamofo Nemofo Jisasi koramo mika kefozantia sese hunerante.
But, if our lives are lived in the Light, as God himself is in the Light, we have communion with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8 Tagrama huta kumi osu'none hanuta, tagra'a reravatga hanunkeno, tamage ke'mo'a tagri tagu'afina omanegahie.
If we say that there is no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves, and the Truth has no place in us.
9 Hianagi tagrama kumitima huama hanunkeno'a, Agra tamage huno fatgo hu'neankino, kumitia atreranteno maka fatgo osu avu'avapintira sese hurantegahie.
If we confess our sins, God may be trusted, in his righteousness, to forgive us our sins and purify us from all wickedness.
10 Tagrama huta kumi osu'none hanuta, Anumzamofona azeri havige ne' kna nehunkeno, ke'amo'a tagu'afina nomane.
If we say that we have not sinned, we are making God a liar, and his Message has no place in us.
