1 Joan 1
1 HATSEAN-DANIC cena, ençun vkan duguna, gure beguiéz ikussi vkan duguna, contemplatu vkan duguna, eta gure escuéc hunqui vkan dutena vicitzeco Hitzaz.
[I, John, am writing to you about] the one who existed before [there was anything else]. He is the one whom we [apostles] listened to [as he taught us!] We saw him! We ourselves looked at him and touched him! [He is the one who taught us] the message that [enables people to have eternal] life (OR, live [spiritually]).
2 (Ecen vicitzea manifestatu içan da, eta ikussi vkan dugu, eta testificatzen dugu eta denuntiatzen drauçuegu vicitze eternala, cein baitzén Aita baithan, eta aguertu içan baitzaicu.) (aiōnios g166)
Because he came here [to the earth] and we have seen him, we proclaim to you clearly that the one whom we have seen is the [one who] has always lived. He was [previously] with his Father in heaven, but he came to live among us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Eta ikussi eta ençun vkan duguna, diot, denuntiatzen drauçuegula, cuec-ere communione duçuençát gurequin, eta gure communionea da Aitarequin eta Iesus Christ haren Semearequin.
We proclaim to you the [message about Jesus], the one whom we saw and heard, in order that you may have a close relationship with us. The ones whom we have a close relationship with are God our Father and his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Eta gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiçuegu çuen bozcarioa compli dadinçát.
I am writing to you about these things so that [you (will be convinced/believe]) [that they are true, and as a] result we may be completely joyful.
5 Haur da bada harenganic ençun vkan dugun mandatalgoa eta denuntiátzen drauçueguna, Ecen Iaincoa dela arguia, eta ilhumberic batre hura baithan eztela.
The message that we heard from Christ and proclaim to you is this: God is [pure in every way. He never sins. He is like] [MET] a [brilliant] light that has no darkness at all.
6 Baldin erran badeçagu ecen communione dugula harequin, eta ilhumbean bagabiltza, gueçurra erraiten dugu, eta eztugu eguiten eguiá.
If we claim to have a close relationship with [God], but [we conduct our lives in an impure manner, that is like] living [MET] in [evil] darkness. We are lying. We are not conducting our lives according to [God’s] true message.
7 Baina baldin arguian bagabiltza, hura arguian den beçala, communione dugu elkarrequin harequin batean, eta Iesus Christ haren Semearen odolac purgatzen gaitu bekatu orotaric.
But living [in a pure manner], as God is [living in a pure manner] [MET] [in every way, is like living] in God’s light. If we do that, we have a close relationship with each other. Not only that, but [God] (acquits us/removes [the guilt]) [of] all our sins because [he accepts] what his Son Jesus did for us [when his] blood [flowed from his body when he died. So we should conduct our lives] ([in a manner according to what God says is pure]).
8 Baldin erran badeçagu ecen bekaturic eztugula, gure buruäc seducitzen ditugu, eta eguiá gutan ezta.
Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
9 Baldin confessa baditzagu gure bekatuac, fidel da eta iusto, guri gure bekatuén barkatzeco, eta iniquitate orotaric gure purgatzeco.
But God will do what he says that he will do, and what he does is [always] right. So, if we confess to him that we [have behaved] sinfully, he will forgive [us for] our sins and (will free us from/remove) [the guilt of] all our sins. [Because of that], [we should confess to him that we have behaved sinfully].
10 Baldin erran badeçagu ecen eztugula bekaturic eguin: gueçurti eguiten dugu hura, eta haren hitza ezta gutan.
[Because God says that everyone has sinned], those who say/claim that they have never behaved sinfully talk [as though] God lies! They reject what God says [about us]!
