1 yohanaḥ 1
1 ādito ya āsīd yasya vāg asmābhiraśrāvi yañca vayaṁ svanetrai rdṛṣṭavanto yañca vīkṣitavantaḥ svakaraiḥ spṛṣṭavantaśca taṁ jīvanavādaṁ vayaṁ jñāpayāmaḥ|
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
2 sa jīvanasvarūpaḥ prakāśata vayañca taṁ dṛṣṭavantastamadhi sākṣyaṁ dadmaśca, yaśca pituḥ sannidhāvavarttatāsmākaṁ samīpe prakāśata ca tam anantajīvanasvarūpaṁ vayaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
(and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); (aiōnios g166)
3 asmābhi ryad dṛṣṭaṁ śrutañca tadeva yuṣmān jñāpyate tenāsmābhiḥ sahāṁśitvaṁ yuṣmākaṁ bhaviṣyati| asmākañca sahāṁśitvaṁ pitrā tatputreṇa yīśukhrīṣṭena ca sārddhaṁ bhavati|
that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah.
4 aparañca yuṣmākam ānando yat sampūrṇo bhaved tadarthaṁ vayam etāni likhāmaḥ|
And we write these things, that our joy may be fulfilled.
5 vayaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ tasmāt śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmaḥ seyam| īśvaro jyotistasmin andhakārasya leśo'pi nāsti|
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 vayaṁ tena sahāṁśina iti gaditvā yadyandhākāre carāmastarhi satyācāriṇo na santo 'nṛtavādino bhavāmaḥ|
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not tell the truth.
7 kintu sa yathā jyotiṣi varttate tathā vayamapi yadi jyotiṣi carāmastarhi parasparaṁ sahabhāgino bhavāmastasya putrasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya rudhirañcāsmān sarvvasmāt pāpāt śuddhayati|
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 vayaṁ niṣpāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi svayameva svān vañcayāmaḥ satyamatañcāsmākam antare na vidyate|
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 yadi svapāpāni svīkurmmahe tarhi sa viśvāsyo yāthārthikaścāsti tasmād asmākaṁ pāpāni kṣamiṣyate sarvvasmād adharmmāccāsmān śuddhayiṣyati|
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 vayam akṛtapāpā iti yadi vadāmastarhi tam anṛtavādinaṁ kurmmastasya vākyañcāsmākam antare na vidyate|
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
