1That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the 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.
2and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to 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 to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and 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 we write to you, that your joy may be full.
4Ja me kirjutame seda, et meie rõõm oleks täielik.
5And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not 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 may say — `we have fellowship with Him,` and in the darkness may walk — we lie, and do not the truth;
6Kui me ütleme: 'Meil on osadus temaga', kuid käime pimeduses, siis me valetame ega tee tõtt.
7and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light — we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every 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 may say — `we have not sin,` ourselves we lead astray, 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 may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every 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 may say — `we have not sinned,` a liar we make Him, 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.
