1 John 1
1 [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]).
Což bylo od počátku, což jsme slýchali, co jsme očima svýma viděli, a co jsme pilně spatřili, a čeho se ruce naše dotýkaly, o slovu života,
2 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)
(Nebo ten život zjeven jest, a my jsme viděli jej, a svědčíme, i zvěstujeme vám ten život věčný, kterýž byl u Otce, a zjeven jest nám, ) (aiōnios g166)
3 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.
Což jsme viděli a slyšeli, to vám zvěstujeme, abyste i vy s námi obecenství měli, a obecenství naše aby bylo s Otcem i s Synem jeho Jezukristem.
4 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.
A totoť píšeme vám, aby radost vaše byla plná.
5 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.
Toť jest tedy zvěstování to, kteréž jsme slýchali od něho, a zvěstujeme vám: Že Bůh jest světlo, a tmy v něm nižádné není.
6 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.
Díme-li, že s ním obecenství máme, a ve tmě chodíme, lžeme a nečiníme pravdy.
7 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]).
Pakliť chodíme v světle, jako on jest v světle, obecenství máme vespolek, a krev Ježíše Krista Syna jeho očišťuje nás od všelikého hříchu.
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
Pakliť díme, že hříchu nemáme, sami se svodíme, a pravdy v nás není.
9 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].
Jestliže pak budeme vyznávati hříchy své, věrnýť jest Bůh a spravedlivý, aby nám odpustil hříchy, a očistil nás od všeliké nepravosti.
10 [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]!
Díme-li, že jsme nehřešili, činíme jej lhářem, a neníť v nás slova jeho.
