1That 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;
1Ang kaniadto sukad sa sinugdan, ang among hingdunggan, ang among hingkit-an sa among mga mata, ang among nasud-ong, ug nahikap sa among mga kamot, nahatungod sa Pulong sa kinabuhi,
2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
2(Kay ang kinabuhi napadayag, ug nakita namo, ug ginapamatud-an namo, ug ginamantala namo kaninyo ang kinabuhi nga walay katapusan, nga didto kauban sa Amahan, ug ginapadayag kanamo):
3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
3Ang among hingkit-an ug hingdunggan, ginamantala namo kaninyo, aron kamo usab may pagkaambit uban kanamo, ug ang atong pagkaambit usab uban sa Amahan ug sa iyang Anak nga si Jesucristo.
4And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
4Ug kining mga butanga ginasulat namo kaninyo, aron mamahingpit ang among kalipay.
5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
5Ug kini mao ang balita, nga hingdunggan namo gikan kaniya ug ginamantala namo kaninyo: nga ang Dios mao ang kahayag, ug kaniya wala gayud ing kangitngit.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
6Kong umingon kita, nga may kaambitan kita uban kaniya ug nagalakaw kita diha sa kangitngit, nagabakak kita, ug wala kita magabuhat sa kamatuoran.
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
7Apan kong magalakaw kita diha sa kahayag, maingon nga siya anaa sa kahayag, may kaambitan kita sa usa ug usa, ug ang dugo ni Jesucristo nga iyang Anak, nagahinlo kanato gikan sa tanang sala.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8Kong umingon kita nga kita walay sala, gilimbongan nato ang atong kaugalingon, ug walay kamatuoran dinhi kanato.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9Kong igasugid nato ang atong mga sala, matinumanon ug matarung siya, aron pasayloon kita niya sa atong mga sala, ug pagahinloan kita niya gikan sa tanang kadautan.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10Kong moingon kita, nga wala kita makasala, siya gibuhat nato nga bakakon, ug ang iyang pulong wala dinhi kanato.
