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, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the 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)
and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, 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 fellowship with us, and our fellowship [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 we write to you, that your joy may be full.
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 message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;
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 may say — 'we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk — we lie, and do 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
and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light — we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;
8 Kapau te tau pehē, ʻoku ʻikai haʻatau angahala, ʻoku tau kākaaʻi ʻakitautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kitautolu ʻae moʻoni.
if we may say — 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, 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 may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every 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 may say — 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
