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 beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the 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)
and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto 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 heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Ary izao zavatra izao no soratanay, mba ho tanteraka ny fifaliantsika.
And we write the same things to you, in order that our 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 the same message which we have heard from him, we also proclaim to 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 is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Raha hoy isika: Tsy manana ota isika, dia mamita-tena, ary ny marina tsy ato anatintsika.
But 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 righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Raha hoy isika: Tsy nanota isika, dia mampandainga Azy, ary tsy ato anatintsika.
If we may say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
