1 John 1
1 This letter is about the Word of Life which existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our very own eyes and gazed upon, and which our hands have touched.
Kadto nga diha na sukad pa sa sinugdan, nga among nadungog, nga among nakita pinaagi sa among kaugalingong mga mata, nga among nasud-ong ug nahikap pinaagi sa among mga kamot, mahitungod sa pulong nga nagahatag ug kinabuhi
2 This Life was revealed to us; we saw it and give evidence about it. We are telling you about the one who is Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
(ug ang kinabuhi gikapadayag, ug kami nakakita niini ug magapanghimatuod niini, ug magamantala kaninyo sa maong dayong kinabuhi, nga diha kauban sa Amahan ug nga gikapadayag kanamo), (aiōnios g166)
3 What we have seen and heard we are now explaining to you, so that you may also share in this friendship together with us—this friendship that is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
kadto nga among nakita ug nadungog among ginamantala usab kaninyo, aron kamo usab makabaton sa pakig-ambitay uban kanamo; ug ang atong pakig-ambitay maoy pakig-ambitay uban sa Amahan ug sa iyang Anak nga si Jesu-Cristo.
4 We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
Ug kami nagasulat niini kaninyo aron mamahingpit ang among kalipay.
5 This is the message we received from him and that we declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him at all.
Ang gipahibalo nga among nadungog gikan kaniya ug karon among ginamantala kaninyo mao kini: nga ang Dios kahayag ug diha kaniya wala gayuy kangitngit.
6 If we claim to share this friendship with him and yet go on living in darkness, we're lying, and not living in the truth.
Kon kita magaingon nga may pakig-ambitay kita uban kaniya, apan nagalakaw usab kita diha sa kangitngit, nan, kita nagabakak ug wala magkinabuhi subay sa kamatuoran;
7 But if we are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.
apan kon kita magalakaw diha sa kahayag, maingon nga siya anaa sa kahayag, nan, kita may pakig-ambitay ang usa sa usa, ug ang dugo ni Jesus nga iyang Anak nagahinlo kanato gikan sa tanang sala.
8 If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Kon kita magaingon nga wala kitay sala, kita ra ang nagapahisalaag sa atong kaugalingon, ug wala kanato ang kamatuoran.
9 But if we confess our sins, he is trustworthy and right so that he can forgive us our sins and make us clean from all that is not right in us.
Kon isugid ta ang atong mga sala, siya kasaligan ug makatarunganon nga tungod niana mopasaylo siya sa atong mga sala ug magahinlo kanato gikan sa tanang pagkadili makatarunganon.
10 If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
Kon kita magaingon nga wala kita makasala, siya atong gipakabakakon, ug wala kanato ang iyang pulong.
