1 Jaona 1
1 Izay hatramin’ ny voalohany, dia izay efa renay, izay efa hitan’ ny masonay, izay efa nojerenay sady efa notsapain’ ny tananay, dia ny amin’ ny Teny Fiainana
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life:
2 (fa efa naseho ny fiainana, ary efa nahita azy izahay, dia tonga vavolombelona ka manambara aminareo ny fiainana mandrakizay, izay tao amin’ ny Ray ka efa naseho taminay), ― (aiōnios g166)
For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us: (aiōnios g166)
3 izay efa hitanay sy renay no ambaranay aminareo, mba hahazoanareo firaisana aminay koa; ary ny firaisanay dia amin’ ny Ray sy amin’ i Jesosy Kristy Zanany.
That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Ary izao zavatra izao no soratanay, mba ho tanteraka ny fifaliantsika.
And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
5 Ary izao no teny renay taminy ka ambaranay aminareo: Andriamanitra dia mazava, ary tsy misy maizina akory ao aminy.
And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6 Raha hoy isika: Manana firaisana aminy isika, kanefa mandeha amin’ ny maizina, dia mandainga isika ka tsy manao ny marina.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
7 Fa raha mandeha eo amin’ ny mazava isika, tahaka Azy eo amin’ ny mazava, dia manana firaisana isika, ary ny ran’ i Jesosy Zanany no manadio antsika ho afaka amin’ ny ota rehetra.
But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 Raha hoy isika: Tsy manana ota isika, dia mamita-tena, ary ny marina tsy ato anatintsika.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Raha miaiky ny fahotantsika isika, dia mahatoky sy marina Izy ka mamela ny fahotantsika sy manadio antsika ho afaka amin’ ny tsi-fahamarinana rehetra.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10 Raha hoy isika: Tsy nanota isika, dia mampandainga Azy, ary tsy ato anatintsika.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
