1 āditō ya āsīd yasya vāg asmābhiraśrāvi yañca vayaṁ svanētrai rdr̥ṣṭavantō yañca vīkṣitavantaḥ svakaraiḥ spr̥ṣṭavantaśca taṁ jīvanavādaṁ vayaṁ jñāpayāmaḥ|
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 sa jīvanasvarūpaḥ prakāśata vayañca taṁ dr̥ṣṭavantastamadhi sākṣyaṁ dadmaśca, yaśca pituḥ sannidhāvavarttatāsmākaṁ samīpē prakāśata ca tam anantajīvanasvarūpaṁ vayaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ| (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 asmābhi ryad dr̥ṣṭaṁ śrutañca tadēva yuṣmān jñāpyatē tēnāsmābhiḥ sahāṁśitvaṁ yuṣmākaṁ bhaviṣyati| asmākañca sahāṁśitvaṁ pitrā tatputrēṇa yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca sārddhaṁ bhavati|
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 aparañca yuṣmākam ānandō yat sampūrṇō bhavēd tadarthaṁ vayam ētāni likhāmaḥ|
We are writing these things to you so that our joy may be full.
5 vayaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ tasmāt śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ sēyam| īśvarō jyōtistasmin andhakārasya lēśō'pi nāsti|
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 vayaṁ tēna sahāṁśina iti gaditvā yadyandhākārē carāmastarhi satyācāriṇō na santō 'nr̥tavādinō bhavāmaḥ|
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 kintu sa yathā jyōtiṣi varttatē tathā vayamapi yadi jyōtiṣi carāmastarhi parasparaṁ sahabhāginō bhavāmastasya putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya rudhirañcāsmān sarvvasmāt pāpāt śuddhayati|
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 vayaṁ niṣpāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi svayamēva svān vañcayāmaḥ satyamatañcāsmākam antarē na vidyatē|
If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 yadi svapāpāni svīkurmmahē tarhi sa viśvāsyō yāthārthikaścāsti tasmād asmākaṁ pāpāni kṣamiṣyatē sarvvasmād adharmmāccāsmān śuddhayiṣyati|
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 vayam akr̥tapāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi tam anr̥tavādinaṁ kurmmastasya vākyañcāsmākam antarē na vidyatē|
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
