1 John 1
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
M'ap ekri nou sou pawòl ki bay lavi a, pawòl ki te la depi nan konmansman tout bagay. Nou te tande l', nou te wè l' ak pwòp je nou, nou te gade l' byen gade, nou te manyen l' ak men nou.
2 the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
Lè lavi a te parèt, nou te wè li. Se poutèt sa mwen ka pale nou sou sa: m'ap fè nou konnen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an, lavi ki te la avèk Papa a, lavi ki te parèt aklè devan nou an. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
Sa nou menm nou te wè a, sa nou te tande a, m'ap fè nou konnen l' tou pou nou ka viv ansanm yonn ak lòt nan lavi nou tout n'ap mennen ansanm ak Papa a ansanm ak Pitit li a, Jezikri.
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
M'ap ekri nou sa pou kè nou ka kontan nèt ale.
5 This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
Men nouvèl nou te tande nan bouch Jezikri a, nouvèl m'ap fè nou konnen an: Bondye se limyè. Pa gen fènwa nan Bondye.
6 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
Si nou di n'ap viv ansanm ak li, pou anmenmtan n'ap viv nan fènwa, n'ap bay manti ni nan sa n'ap di, ni nan sa n'ap fè.
7 But if we live 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 all sin.
Men, si n'ap viv nan limyè menm jan li menm Bondye li nan limyè, lè sa a se tout bon n'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Jezi, Pitit Bondye a, va netwaye nou ak san li anba tout peche nou yo.
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
Si nou di nou pa gen peche, se tèt nou n'ap twonpe. Verite a pa nan nou.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Men, si nou rekonèt devan Bondye nou fè peche, nou mèt gen konfyans nan li. Paske l'ap fè sak gen pou fèt la: la padonnen tout peche nou yo, la netwaye nou anba tou sa ki mal.
10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
Men, si nou di nou pa t' fè peche, nou fè Bondye pase pou mantò: Pawòl li pa nan kè nou.
