1 Johannes 1
1 Det, som var fra Begyndelsen, det, vi have hørt, det, vi have set med vore Øjne, det, vi skuede og vore Hænder følte på, nemlig om Livets Ord; -
That which was from the beginning—which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched—it is about the Word of life.
2 og Livet blev åbenbaret, og vi have set og vidne og forkynde eder det evige Liv, som jo var hos Faderen og blev åbenbaret for os; - (aiōnios g166)
Also, the life was made known, and we have seen it, and we bear witness to it. We are announcing to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and which has been made known to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 hvad vi have set og hørt, forkynde vi også eder, for at også I må have Samfund med os; men vort Samfund er med Faderen og med hans Søn Jesus Kristus.
That which we have seen and heard we declare also to you, so you also will have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Og dette skrive vi til eder, for at eders Glæde må være fuldkommen.
Also, we are writing these things to you so that our joy will be complete.
5 Og dette er det Budskab, som vi have hørt af ham og forkynde eder, at Gud er Lys, og der er slet intet Mørke i ham.
This is the message that we have heard from him and are announcing to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
6 Dersom vi sige, at vi have Samfund med ham, og vandre i Mørket, da lyve vi og gøre ikke Sandheden.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth.
7 Men dersom vi vandre i Lyset, ligesom han er i Lyset, have vi Samfund med hverandre, og Jesu, hans Søns, Blod renser os fra al Synd.
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.
8 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have Synd, bedrage vi os selv, og Sandheden er ikke i os.
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Dersom vi bekende vore Synder, er han trofast og retfærdig, så at han forlader os Synderne og renser os fra al Uretfærdighed.
But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Dersom vi sige, at vi ikke have syndet, gøre vi ham til en Løgner, og hans Ord er ikke i os.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar, and his word is not in us.
