1 Yoane 1
1 Oyo ezalaki wuta na ebandeli, oyo toyokaki, oyo tomonaki na miso na biso, oyo totalaki malamu, mpe oyo maboko na biso esimbaki, yango nde tozali kotatola na tina na Liloba na bomoi.
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 Bomoi emimonisaki; tomoni yango, tozali kotatola na tina na yango mpe kosakola epai na bino bomoi ya seko oyo ezalaki elongo na Tata mpe emimonisi epai na biso. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
3 Tozali kosakola epai na bino makambo oyo tomoni mpe toyoki, mpo ete bino mpe bozala moko na biso. Nzokande, biso tozali moko na Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana na Ye.
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 Yango wana tozali kokomela bino makambo oyo mpo na kokomisa esengo na biso ya kokoka.
We are writing these things to you so that our joy may be full.
5 Tala makambo oyo toyoki na tina na Ye mpe tozali koyebisa bino: Nzambe azali pole, mpe molili ezali te kati na Ye.
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 Soki tolobi ete tozali moko na Ye, nzokande tozali kotambola kati na molili, wana tozali bakosi mpe tozali kotambola na solo te.
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 Kasi soki tozali kotambola kati na pole ndenge Ye moko Nzambe azali kati na pole, wana tozali moko, bamoko na bamosusu, mpe makila ya Yesu, Mwana na Ye, ezali kopetola biso na masumu nyonso.
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 Soki tolobi ete tozali na masumu te, wana tozali komikosa biso moko mpe solo ezali te kati na biso.
If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Soki toyamboli masumu na biso, Nzambe akolimbisa biso mpe akopetola biso na mabe nyonso, pamba te azali Sembo mpe Moyengebene.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Soki tolobi ete tosalaka masumu te, wana tokomisi Nzambe mokosi mpe Liloba na Ye ezali te kati na biso.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
