1 John 1
1 That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with the eyes of us, that which we have gazed upon and the hands of us handled concerning the Word of life —
Ko te mea o te timatanga, ko ta matou i rongo ai, ko ta o matou kanohi i kite ai, ko ta matou i titiro atu ai, ko ta o matou ringaringa i whawha atu ai, ko nga mea o te Kupu o te ora;
2 and the life was made manifest, and we have seen and bear witness and we proclaim to you the life eternal which was with the Father and was revealed to us — (aiōnios g166)
I whakakitea mai hoki te ora, a kite ana matou, na ka whakaatu nei, ka kauwhau nei ki a koutou i te ora tonu, i tera i te Matua i mua, a kua whakakitea mai nei ki a matou; (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and have heard, we proclaim (also *no) to you so that also you yourselves fellowship may have with us; Indeed the fellowship now our own [is] with the Father and with the Son of Him Jesus Christ.
Ko ta matou ra i kite ai, i rongo ai, e kauwhautia atu nei e matou ki a koutou, kia whakahoatia ai koutou ki a matou: na, ko to tatou whakahoanga kei te Matua, kei tana Tama hoki, kei a Ihu Karaiti.
4 And these things write (we ourselves *N+KO) so that the joy of us may be completed.
Na ka tuhituhia atu nei enei mea e matou ki a koutou, kia tino nui ai to koutou hari.
5 And is this the (message *NK+O) that we have heard from Him and we preach to you that God light is and darkness in Him not is none.
Ko te korero ano tenei i rongo ai matou ki a ia, a ka korerotia atu nei e matou ki a koutou, na, he marama te Atua, kahore rawa hoki he pouri i a ia.
6 If we shall say that fellowship we have with Him and yet in the darkness may walk, we lie and not we do practice the truth;
Ki te mea tatou e whakahoa ana tatou ki a ia, me te haere ano tatou i te pouri, e korero teka ana tatou, ehara hoki i te pono ta tatou e mahi nei;
7 If now in the light we shall walk as He himself is in the light, fellowship we have with one another and the blood of Jesus (Christ *K) the Son of Him cleanses us from all sin.
Ki te haere ia tatou i te marama, me ia hoki e noho nei i te marama, na ka whakahoa tatou tetahi ki tetahi, e horoia ana ano o tatou hara katoa e nga toto o tana Tama, o Ihu Karaiti.
8 If we shall say that sin not we have, ourselves we deceive and the truth not is in us.
Ki te mea tatou kahore o tatou hara, e whakapohehe ana tatou i a tatou ano, a kahore te pono i roto i a tatou.
9 If we shall confess the sins of us, faithful He is and just that He may forgive us [our] sins and may cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Ki te whaki tatou i o tatou hara, e pono ana ia, e tika ana, a ka murua e ia o tatou hara, ka horoia atu hoki o tatou he katoa.
10 If we shall say that not we have sinned, a liar we make Him and the word of Him not is in us.
Ki te mea tatou kahore tatou i hara, ka meinga ia he kaikorero teka, kahore hoki tana kupu i roto i a tatou.
