1 ആരംഭംമുതലേ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നതും ഞങ്ങൾ കേട്ടതും ഞങ്ങളുടെ കണ്ണുകൾ കണ്ടതും ഞങ്ങൾ നോക്കിയതും ഞങ്ങളുടെ കൈകൾ സ്പർശിച്ചതുമായ ജീവന്റെ വചനത്തെക്കുറിച്ചാണ് ഞങ്ങൾ ഘോഷിക്കുന്നത്.
౧ఆది నుండి ఉన్న జీవ వాక్కును గురించి మేము విన్నదీ, మా కళ్ళతో చూసిందీ, దగ్గరగా గమనించిందీ, మా చేతులతో తాకిందీ మీకు ప్రకటిస్తున్నాం.
2 ഈ ജീവൻ പ്രത്യക്ഷപ്പെട്ടു; അത് ഞങ്ങൾ ദർശിച്ചു; ഞങ്ങൾ അതിന് സാക്ഷികളാകുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. പിതാവിനോടുകൂടെ ഇരുന്നതും ഞങ്ങൾക്കു വെളിപ്പെട്ടതുമായ നിത്യജീവൻ ഞങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളോട് ഘോഷിക്കുന്നു. (aiōnios g166)
౨ఆ జీవం వెల్లడైంది. తండ్రితో ఉండి ఇప్పుడు బయటకు కనిపించిన ఆ శాశ్వత జీవాన్ని మేము చూశాం కాబట్టి మీకు సాక్షమిస్తూ దాన్ని మీకు ప్రకటిస్తున్నాం. (aiōnios g166)
3 നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഞങ്ങളുമായി കൂട്ടായ്മ ഉണ്ടാകേണ്ടതിനാണ് ഞങ്ങൾ കാണുകയും കേൾക്കുകയുംചെയ്തത് നിങ്ങളെ അറിയിക്കുന്നത്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ കൂട്ടായ്മയോ പിതാവിനോടും അവിടത്തെ പുത്രനായ യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിനോടും ആകുന്നു.
౩మీరు కూడా మాతో సహవాసం కలిగి ఉండాలని మేము చూసిందీ, విన్నదీ మీకు ప్రకటిస్తున్నాం. నిజానికి మన సహవాసం తండ్రితోను, ఆయన కుమారుడు యేసు క్రీస్తుతోను ఉంది.
4 ഞങ്ങളുടെ ആനന്ദം സമ്പൂർണമാകാനാണ് ഞങ്ങൾ ഇത് എഴുതുന്നത്.
౪మీ ఆనందం సంపూర్తి కావాలని ఈ సంగతులు మీకు రాస్తున్నాం.
5 ഞങ്ങൾ തിരുമൊഴി ശ്രവിച്ച് നിങ്ങളോട് അറിയിക്കുന്ന സന്ദേശം ഇതാണ്: ദൈവം പ്രകാശം ആകുന്നു; ദൈവത്തിൽ അന്ധകാരം അൽപ്പംപോലും ഇല്ല.
౫దేవుడు వెలుగు. ఆయనలో చీకటి లేనే లేదు. దీన్ని మేము ఆయన దగ్గర విని మీకు ప్రకటిస్తున్నాం.
6 നമുക്ക് അവിടത്തോട് കൂട്ടായ്മ ഉണ്ടെന്നു പറയുകയും അന്ധകാരത്തിൽ ജീവിക്കുകയുംചെയ്യുന്നെങ്കിൽ നാം വ്യാജംപറയുകയാണ്; സത്യം അനുസരിച്ചു ജീവിക്കുന്നതുമില്ല.
౬మనకు ఆయనతో సహవాసం ఉందని చెప్పుకుంటూ, చీకటి మార్గంలో ఉంటే మనం అబద్ధం ఆడుతున్నట్టే. సత్యాన్ని ఆచరిస్తున్నట్టు కాదు.
7 അവിടന്നു പ്രകാശത്തിൽ ആയിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ നാമും പ്രകാശത്തിൽ ജീവിക്കുന്നെങ്കിൽ നമുക്ക് പരസ്പരം കൂട്ടായ്മയുണ്ട്; അവിടത്തെ പുത്രനായ യേശുവിന്റെ രക്തം സകലപാപത്തിൽനിന്നും നമ്മെ ശുദ്ധീകരിക്കുന്നു.
౭అయితే, ఆయన వెలుగులో ఉన్న ప్రకారం మనం వెలుగులో నడిస్తే, మనకు ఒకరితో ఒకరికి అన్యోన్యసహవాసం ఉంటుంది. అప్పుడు ఆయన కుమారుడు యేసు క్రీస్తు రక్తం మనలను ప్రతి పాపం నుండి శుద్ధి చేస్తుంది.
8 നമുക്കു പാപമില്ലെന്ന് നാം അവകാശപ്പെട്ടാൽ നമ്മെത്തന്നെ വഞ്ചിക്കുകയാണ്; സത്യം നമ്മിൽ വസിക്കുന്നതുമില്ല.
౮మనలో పాపం లేదని మనం అంటే మనలను మనమే మోసం చేసుకుంటున్నాం. మనలో సత్యం ఉండదు.
9 നാം നമ്മുടെ പാപങ്ങൾ ഏറ്റുപറയുന്നു എങ്കിൽ അവിടന്ന് നമ്മുടെ പാപങ്ങൾ ക്ഷമിച്ച് എല്ലാ അനീതിയിൽനിന്നും നമ്മെ ശുദ്ധീകരിക്കും; അവിടന്ന് വിശ്വസ്തനും നീതിമാനും ആണല്ലോ.
౯కాని, మన పాపాలు మనం ఒప్పుకుంటే, మన పాపాలు క్షమించడానికీ, సమస్త దుర్నీతి నుండి శుద్ధి చేయడానికీ ఆయన నమ్మదగినవాడు, న్యాయవంతుడు.
10 നാം പാപംചെയ്തിട്ടില്ലെന്ന് അവകാശപ്പെടുന്നു എങ്കിൽ നാം ദൈവത്തെ അസത്യവാദി ആക്കുന്നു, അവിടത്തെ വചനം നമ്മിൽ നിവസിക്കുന്നുമില്ല.
౧౦మనం పాపం చెయ్యలేదు అంటే, మనం ఆయనను అబద్ధికుణ్ణి చేసినట్టే. ఆయన వాక్కు మనలో లేనట్టే.
