< 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, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of 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 )
For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to 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 have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Isokira’ay o raha zao, hañenefañe ty haeha’areo.
And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be 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 declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
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 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 also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ 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 just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
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.
