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--
Ko ia naʻe ʻi ai talu mei he kamataʻanga, ʻaia naʻa mau ongoʻi, pea mamata ki ai ʻaki homau mata, pea mau vakai pau ki ai, pea ala ki ai homau nima, ki he Folofola ʻoe moʻui;
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)
(He naʻe fakahā ʻae moʻui, pea naʻa mau mamata, pea fakamoʻoni, mo fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae moʻui taʻengata ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he Tamai, pea fakahā mai kiate kimautolu; ) (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.
Pea ko ia ia kuo mau mamata mo ongoʻi ʻoku mau fakahā kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke tau feohi foki mo kimoutolu: pea ko e moʻoni ko ʻemau feohi ʻoku ʻi he Tamai, pea mo hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi.
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
Pea ʻoku mau tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke fonu ai hoʻomou fiefia.
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.
Ko eni ia ʻae fekau naʻa mau fanongo meiate ia, mo fakahā kiate kimoutolu, ko e maama ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ha fakapoʻuli siʻi.
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.
Kapau ʻoku tau pehē, ʻoku tau feohi mo ia, kae ʻaʻeva ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻoku tau loi, pea ʻikai fai ki he moʻoni:
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.
Pea ka tau ka ʻaʻeva ʻi he maama, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻi he maama ia, ʻoku tau feohi mo ia, pea ko e taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ko hono ʻAlo ʻoku ne fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he angahala kotoa pē
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
Kapau te tau pehē, ʻoku ʻikai haʻatau angahala, ʻoku tau kākaaʻi ʻakitautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kitautolu ʻae moʻoni.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Kapau te tau vete ʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻoku moʻoni mo angatonu ia ke fakamolemolea ʻetau ngaahi angahala, mo fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
Kapau te tau pehē, naʻe ʻikai te tau angahala, ʻoku tau lohiakiʻi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofoʻia ʻakitautolu ʻe heʻene folofola.
