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]).
Přinášíme a dosvědčujeme vám zvěst o tom, co bylo od počátku: o Ježíši, který je živé slovo –
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)
viditelný projev Otcova věčného života. Slyšeli jsme ho, viděli jsme ho, sledovali jsme ho, dotýkali jsme se ho. (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.
Podáváme vám o něm zprávu, abyste se s námi sjednotili, jako jsme my zajedno s Otcem a s jeho Synem Ježíšem Kristem,
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.
aby se tím naše radost vzájemně znásobila.
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.
Předáváme vám poselství, které jsme přijali od Krista: Bůh je světlo a není v něm žádná tma.
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.
Tvrdíme-li, že máme k Bohu dobrý vztah, a přesto setrváváme ve tmě, lžeme a náš život je nepravdivý.
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]).
Žijeme-li však stále ve světle Boží přítomnosti, krev Ježíše Krista, jeho Syna, nás očišťuje od každého hříchu a nic neruší náš vzájemný vztah.
8 Those who say they never behave sinfully are deceiving themselves, and refusing [to accept as] true [what God says about them].
Tvrdíme-li, že nehřešíme, pak klameme sami sebe a nechceme si připustit pravdu.
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 však své hříchy vyznáváme, smíme se spolehnout na Boží sliby, že nás očišťuje od každé špinavosti a promíjí nám každé selhání.
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]!
Říkáme-li, že nic špatného neděláme, obviňujeme Boha ze lži a vůbec ho nechápeme.
