Ιωαννου Α΄ 1
1 Ὃ ἦν ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς, ὃ ἀκηκόαμεν, ὃ ἑωράκαμεν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν, ὃ ἐθεασάμεθα καὶ αἱ χεῖρες ἡμῶν ἐψηλάφησαν, περὶ τοῦ λόγου τῆς ζωῆς
Kile kilichokuwapo tangu mwanzo-kile tulichokisikia, kile tulichokiona kwa macho yetu, kile tulichokitazama, na mikono yetu imekishika-kuhusu Neno la uzima.
2 καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἐφανερώθη, καὶ ἑωράκαμεν καὶ μαρτυροῦμεν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλομεν ὑμῖν τὴν ζωὴν τὴν αἰώνιον ἥτις ἦν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα καὶ ἐφανερώθη ἡμῖν (aiōnios g166)
Na ule uzima ulifanywa kujulikana wazi, na tumeuona, na kuushuhudia, na kuwatangazia uzima wa milele, ambao ulikuwa kwa Baba na ulifanywa kujulikana kwetu. (aiōnios g166)
3 ὃ ἑωράκαμεν καὶ ἀκηκόαμεν ἀπαγγέλλομεν καὶ ὑμῖν, ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς κοινωνίαν ἔχητε μεθ’ ἡμῶν. καὶ ἡ κοινωνία δὲ ἡ ἡμετέρα μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
Kile tulichokiona na kukisikia twakitangaza kwenu pia, ili kwamba muweze kujumuika pamoja nasi, na ushirika wetu pamoja na Baba na Mwanae Yesu Kristo.
4 καὶ ταῦτα γράφομεν ἡμεῖς ἵνα ἡ χαρὰ ἡμῶν ᾖ πεπληρωμένη.
Na tunawandikia mambo haya ninyi ili kwamba furaha yetu iwe timilifu.
5 Καὶ ἔστιν αὕτη ἡ ἀγγελία ἣν ἀκηκόαμεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναγγέλλομεν ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς φῶς ἐστιν καὶ σκοτία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδεμία.
Huu ndio ujumbe tuliousikia kutoka kwake na kuwatangazia: Mungu ni nuru na ndani yake hakuna giza hata kidogo.
6 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι κοινωνίαν ἔχομεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ σκότει περιπατῶμεν, ψευδόμεθα καὶ οὐ ποιοῦμεν τὴν ἀλήθειαν·
Kama tukisema kwamba tunaushirika naye na twatembea gizani, twadanganya na hatutendi kweli.
7 ἐὰν δὲ ἐν τῷ φωτὶ περιπατῶμεν ὡς αὐτός ἐστιν ἐν τῷ φωτί, κοινωνίαν ἔχομεν μετ’ ἀλλήλων καὶ τὸ αἷμα Ἰησοῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καθαρίζει ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἁμαρτίας.
Lakini tukitembea katika nuru kama alivyo katika nuru, twashirikiana sisi kwa sisi, na damu ya Yesu Kristo, mwanae yatutakasa kutoka dhambi zote.
8 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἔχομεν, ἑαυτοὺς πλανῶμεν καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν.
Kama tukisema hatuna dhambi, twajidanganya wenyewe, na kweli haimo ndani yetu.
9 ἐὰν ὁμολογῶμεν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν, πιστός ἐστιν καὶ δίκαιος ἵνα ἀφῇ ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας καὶ καθαρίσῃ ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἀδικίας.
Lakini tukizitubu dhambi zetu, yeye ni mwaminifu na haki kutusamehe dhambi zetu na kututakasa na uovu wote.
10 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι οὐχ ἡμαρτήκαμεν, ψεύστην ποιοῦμεν αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν.
Tukisema kwamba hatujatenda dhambi, twamfanya yeye kuwa muongo, na neno lake halimo ndani yetu.
