1 Sione 1
1 Ko ia naʻe ʻi ai talu mei he kamataʻanga, ʻaia naʻa mau ongoʻi, pea mamata ki ai ʻaki homau mata, pea mau vakai pau ki ai, pea ala ki ai homau nima, ki he Folofola ʻoe moʻui;
THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life;
2 (He naʻe fakahā ʻae moʻui, pea naʻa mau mamata, pea fakamoʻoni, mo fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae moʻui taʻengata ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he Tamai, pea fakahā mai kiate kimautolu; ) (aiōnios g166)
(for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us; ) (aiōnios g166)
3 Pea ko ia ia kuo mau mamata mo ongoʻi ʻoku mau fakahā kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke tau feohi foki mo kimoutolu: pea ko e moʻoni ko ʻemau feohi ʻoku ʻi he Tamai, pea mo hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi.
that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Pea ʻoku mau tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke fonu ai hoʻomou fiefia.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be complete.
5 Ko eni ia ʻae fekau naʻa mau fanongo meiate ia, mo fakahā kiate kimoutolu, ko e maama ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ha fakapoʻuli siʻi.
And this is the promise which we have heard from him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and that darkness in him there is none.
6 Kapau ʻoku tau pehē, ʻoku tau feohi mo ia, kae ʻaʻeva ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻoku tau loi, pea ʻikai fai ki he moʻoni:
If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and practise not the truth:
7 Pea ka tau ka ʻaʻeva ʻi he maama, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻi he maama ia, ʻoku tau feohi mo ia, pea ko e taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ko hono ʻAlo ʻoku ne fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he angahala kotoa pē
but if we walk in the light, as he is himself in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Kapau te tau pehē, ʻoku ʻikai haʻatau angahala, ʻoku tau kākaaʻi ʻakitautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kitautolu ʻae moʻoni.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Kapau te tau vete ʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻoku moʻoni mo angatonu ia ke fakamolemolea ʻetau ngaahi angahala, mo fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
If we confess our sins, faithful is he and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Kapau te tau pehē, naʻe ʻikai te tau angahala, ʻoku tau lohiakiʻi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofoʻia ʻakitautolu ʻe heʻene folofola.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
