< 1 Jovanova 1 >
1 Što bješe ispoèetka, što èusmo, što vidjesmo oèima svojima, što razmotrismo i ruke naše opipaše, o rijeèi života:
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 I život se javi, i vidjesmo, i svjedoèimo, i javljamo vam život vjeèni, koji bješe u oca, i javi se nama; (aiōnios )
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; ) (aiōnios )
3 Što vidjesmo i èusmo to javljamo vama da i vi s nama imate zajednicu; a naša je zajednica s ocem i sa sinom njegovijem Isusom Hristom.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 I ovo vam pišemo da radost vaša bude ispunjena.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 I ovo je obeæanje koje èusmo od njega i javljamo vama, da je Bog vidjelo, i tame u njemu nema nikakve.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Ako reèemo da imamo zajednicu s njim a u tami hodimo, lažemo i ne tvorimo istine.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 Ako li u vidjelu hodimo, kao što je on sam u vidjelu, imamo zajednicu jedan s drugijem, i krv Isusa Hrista, sina njegova, oèišæava nas od svakoga grijeha.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Ako reèemo da grijeha nemamo, sebe varamo, i istine nema u nama.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Ako priznajemo grijehe svoje, vjeran je i pravedan da nam oprosti grijehe naše, i oèisti nas od svake nepravde.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Ako reèemo da ne sagriješismo, gradimo ga lažom, i rijeè njegova nije u nama.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
