1 Johannes 1
1 Det som var ifrå upphavet, det som me hev høyrt, det som me hev set med augo våre, det som me skoda, og henderne våre tok på, um livsens ord
He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our eyes, upon whom we have gazed, and whom our hands have certainly touched: He is the Word of Life.
2 - og livet vart openberra, og me hev set det og vitnar og forkynner dykk livet, det ævelege, som var hjå Faderen og vart openberra for oss - (aiōnios g166)
And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 det som me hev set og høyrt, det forkynner me dykk og, so de kann hava samfund med oss. Men vårt samfund er med Faderen og med hans son Jesus Kristus.
He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Og dette skriv me, so dykkar gleda kann vera fullkomi.
And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
5 Og dette er den bodskapen me hev høyrt av honom og forkynner dykk, at Gud er ljos, og det finst inkje myrker i honom.
And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6 Dersom me segjer at me hev samfund med honom, og me ferdast i myrkret, so lyg me og gjer ikkje sanningi.
If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
7 Men dersom me ferdast i ljoset, liksom han er i ljoset, so hev me samfund med kvarandre, og Jesu, hans sons, blod reinsar oss frå all synd.
But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 Dersom me segjer at me ikkje hev synd, so dårar me oss sjølve, og sanningi er ikkje i oss.
If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 Dersom me sannar synderne våre, so er han trufast og rettferdig, so han forlet oss synderne og reinsar oss frå all urettferd.
If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10 Dersom me segjer at me ikkje hev synda, so gjer me honom til ljugar, og hans ord er ikkje i oss.
If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.
