¹Ene haourtoác, gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiçuet, bekaturic eztaguiçuençát: eta baldin cembeitec eguin badu bekaturic, badugu aduocatbat Aita baithara, Iesus Christ iustoa.

¹My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

²Eta hura da appoinctamendua gure bekatuacgatic, eta ez gureacgatic solament, baina mundu guciarenacgatic-ere

²and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

³Eta hunetan daquigu ecen hura eçagutu dugula, baldin haren manamenduac beguira baditzagu.

³and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

⁴Norc erraiten baitu, Eçagutu dut hura: eta haren manamenduac ezpaititu beguiratzen, gueçurti da, eta eguiá ezta hura baithan:

⁴he who is saying, `I have known him,` and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;

⁵Baina norc beguiratzen baitu haren hitza eguiazqui hura baithan Iaincoaren amorioa complitu da: huneçaz daquigu ecen hura baithan garela.

⁵and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

⁶Norc erraiten baitu hura baithan dagoela, behar du, nola hura ebili baita, hala hainac-ere ebili

⁶He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

⁷Anayeác, eztrauçuet manamendu berribat scribatzen, baina manamendu çahar hatseandanic vkan duçuena: manamendu çaharra hatseandanic ençun vkan duçuen hitza da.

⁷Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;

⁸Berçalde manamendu berribat scribatzen drauçuet, cein baita eguiazco hartan eta çuetan: ceren ilhumbea iragan baita, eta eguiazco arguiac ia eguiten baitu argui.

⁸again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;

⁹Norc erraiten baitu ecen arguian dela, eta bere anayeri gaitz baitaritzá hura ilhumbean da oraindrano .

⁹he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;

¹⁰Bere anayeri on daritzana arguian dago, eta scandaloric ezta hura baithan.

¹⁰he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;

¹¹Baina bere anayeri gaitz daritzana, ilhumbean da, eta ilhumbean dabila, eta eztaqui norát ioaiten den: ecen ilhumbeac haren beguiac itsutu vkan ditu.

¹¹and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

¹²Scribatzen drauçuet, haourtoác, ceren çuen bekatuac barkatu baitzaizquiçue haren icenagatic.

¹²I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

¹³Scribatzen drauçuet, aitác, ceren eçagutu baituçue hatsean-danic dena. Scribatzen drauçuet, gazteác, ceren gaichtoari garaithu baitzaizquiote. Scribatzen drauçuet, haour chipiác, ceren eçagutu vkan baituçue Aita.

¹³I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:

¹⁴Scribatu vkan drauçuet, aitác, ceren eçagutu baituçue hatsean-danic dena. Scribatu drauçuet, gazteác, ceren borthitz baitzarete, eta Iaincoaren hitza çuetan egoiten baita, eta gaichtoari garaithu baitzaizquiote.

¹⁴I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

¹⁵Eztuçuela maite mundua, ez munduco gauçác: baldin cembeitec maite badu mundua, ezta Aitaren amorioa hura baithan.

¹⁵Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁶Ecen munduan den gauça gucia (hala nola, haraguiaren guthiciá, eta beguien guthiciá, eta vicitzearen arrogantiá) ezta Aitaganic baina da munduaganic.

¹⁶because all that [is] in the world — the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁷Eta mundua iragaiten da, eta haren guthiciá, baina Iaincoaren vorondatea eguiten duena dago seculacotz.

¹⁷and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age.

¹⁸Haourtoác, azquen dembora da: eta nola ençun vkan baituçue ecen Antechrist ethorteco dela, oraindanic-ere Antechristac anhitz dirade: nondic baitaquigu ecen azquen demborá dela.

¹⁸Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — whence we know that it is the last hour;

¹⁹Gure artetic ilki içan dirade baina etziraden gutaric: ecen baldin gutaric içan balirade, gurequin egon ciratequeen: baina haur eguin içan da manifesta ledinçát ecen guciac eztiradela gutaric.

¹⁹out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

²⁰Baina çuec baduçue vnctionea Sainduaganic, eta eçagutzen dituçue gauça guciac.

²⁰And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;

²¹Eztrauçuet scribatu vkan, eguiá eçagutzen eztuçuelacotz: aitzitic ceren hura eçagutzen duçuen, eta gueçurric batre ezpaita eguiatic.

²¹I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.

²²Nor da gueçurti, Iesus dela Christ vkatzen duena baicen? hura da Antechrist, ceinec Aita eta Semea vkatzen baititu.

²²Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

²³Norc-ere vkatzen baitu Semea, harc Aita-ere eztu: norc-ere aithortzen baitu Semea, harc Aita-ere badu.

²³every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]

²⁴Beraz hatsean-danic ençun vkan duçuena çuetan hego: ecen baldin çuetan badago hatseandanic ençun vkan duçuena, çuec-ere Semea baithan eta Aita baithan egonen çarete.

²⁴Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

²⁵Eta haur da berac guri promettatu draucun promessa, baita, vicitze eternala.

²⁵and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during.

²⁶Gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiçuet, çuec seducitzen çaituztenéz.

²⁶These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;

²⁷Baina harenganic recebitu vkan duçuen vnctionea dago çuetan, eta eztuçue mengoaric nehorc iracats çaitzaten: baina vnctione berac gauça guciéz iracasten çaituzten beçala, eta eguiati da, eta ezta gueçurti: eta vnctioneac iracatsi çaituzten beçala, hartan egonen çarete.

²⁷and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

²⁸Orain bada, ene haourtoác, çaudete hartan: aguer dadinean assegurança dugunçát, eta haren aitzinean confus ezgarençát haren aduenimenduan.

²⁸And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

²⁹Baldin badaquiçue ecen hura iusto dela, iaquiçue ecen norc-ere iustitia eguiten baitu, hura harenganic iayo dela.

²⁹if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
