< 1 Jaona 1 >
1 Tam-pifotorañey i Tsaran-kaveloñey, ie i jinanji’aiy, niisam-pihaino’aiy, nisambà’ay naho tsinapa-pità’aiy.
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life
2 (Fa naboake i haveloñey le niisa’ay, naho mitalily, vaho itaroña’ay i haveloñe nainai’e aman-dRae ao vaho nabentatse ama’aiy.) (aiōnios )
(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal [life], which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); (aiōnios )
3 Taroñe’ay ka o niisa’ay naho jinanji’aio, soa te hitrao-drehak’ ama’ay nahareo. Toe miharo rehak’ aman-dRae naho amy Ana’e Iesoà Norizañey zahay.
that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:
4 Isokira’ay o raha zao, hañenefañe ty haeha’areo.
and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.
5 Zao ty entañe nijinanjiñe’ay naho itaroña’ay, Toe Hazavàñe t’i Andrianañahare; ie tsy aman’ ieñe, ndra loli’e.
And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Naho mihàboke t’ie mitrao-drehak’ ama’e fe mañavelo amy ieñey ao, le mandañitse, tsy mañavelo an-katò.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 F’ie mañavelo an-kazavàñe, amy te Ie ro an-kazavàñ’ ao, le mitrao-drehake tika vaho liove’ ty lio’ Iesoà Ana’e amy ze fonga tahiñe.
but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Aa naho mieva t’ie tsy aman-kakeo le mamañahy vatañe, vaho tsy aman-tika ty hatò.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Ie miantoke hakeo, le migahiñe naho vantan-dre hañaha o tahin-tikañeo, hañaliova’e amy ze fonga hatsivokarañe.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Ie manao te mb’e lia tsy nanao hakeo le mampandañitse aze vaho tsy aman-tika o tsara’eo.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
