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;
1Mis algusest peale on olnud, mida me oleme kuulnud, mida me oleme oma silmaga näinud, mida me oleme vaadelnud ja mida meie käed on katsunud - seda me kuulutame Elu Sõnast.
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;)
2Jah, Elu on saanud avalikuks, ja me oleme näinud ja me tunnistame ja kuulutame teile igavest elu, mis oli Isa juures ja on saanud meile avalikuks.
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.
3Mida me oleme näinud ja kuulnud, seda me kuulutame ka teile, et teilgi oleks osadus meiega. Meie osadus on osadus Isaga ja tema Poja Jeesuse Kristusega.
4And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
4Ja me kirjutame seda, et meie rõõm oleks täielik.
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.
5Ja see on sõnum, mida me oleme kuulnud temalt ja kuulutame teile: Jumal on valgus, ja temas ei ole mingit pimedust.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
6Kui me ütleme: 'Meil on osadus temaga', kuid käime pimeduses, siis me valetame ega tee tõtt.
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.
7Aga kui me käime valguses, nõnda nagu tema on valguses, siis on meil osadus omavahel ning Jeesuse, tema Poja veri puhastab meid kogu patust.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8Kui me ütleme: 'Meil ei ole pattu', siis me petame iseendid ja tõde ei ole meis.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9Kui me oma patud tunnistame, on tema ustav ja õige, nõnda et ta annab andeks meie patud ja puhastab meid kogu ülekohtust.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10Kui me ütleme: 'Meie ei ole patustanud', siis me teeme tema valetajaks ja tema sõna ei ole meis.
