1 Johani 1
1 Izvo zvakanga zviripo kubva pakutanga, izvo zvatakanzwa, zvatakaona nameso edu, zvatakatarira uye zvatakabata namaoko, izvozvi ndizvo zvatinoparidza zveShoko roupenyu.
WE announce to you that which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, and seen with our eyes, have seen, and touched with our hands, that which is the Word of life.
2 Upenyu hwakaonekwa; takahuona uye tikapupura nezvahwo, uye tinoparidza kwamuri upenyu husingaperi, hwakanga huri kuna Baba uye hwakaratidzwa kwatiri. (aiōnios g166)
And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Tinoparidza kwamuri zvatakaona nezvatakanzwa, kuti nemiwo mugowadzana nesu. Uye tinowadzana naBaba noMwanakomana wavo, Jesu Kristu.
And what we have seen and heard, we make known also to you, that you may have communion with us; and our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jeshu the Meshiha.
4 Tiri kunyora izvi kuti mufaro wedu uzadziswe.
And these write we unto you, that our joy which is in you may be complete.
5 Iyi ndiyo mharidzo yatakanzwa kwaari uye yatinoparidza kwamuri kuti: Mwari ndiye chiedza; maari hamuna rima zvachose.
And this is the annunciation which we have heard from him, and announce to you, that Aloha is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Kana tichiti tinowadzana naye asi tichifamba murima, tinoreva nhema uye hatigari muchokwadi.
And if we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and in the truth do not proceed;
7 Asi kana tichifamba muchiedza, saiye ari muchiedza, tinowadzana nomumwe nomumwe wedu, uye ropa raJesu, Mwanakomana wake, rinotinatsa pazvivi zvose.
but if in the light we walk, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jeshu his Son cleanseth us from all our sins.
8 Kana tichiti hatina chivi, tinozvinyengera uye chokwadi hachizi matiri.
And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us;
9 Kana tichireurura zvivi zvedu, iye akatendeka uye akarurama, uye achatikanganwira zvivi zvedu agotinatsa pakusarurama kwose.
but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Kana tichiti hatina kutadza, tinomuita murevi wenhema uye shoko rake harizi matiri.
And if we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
