1Čo bolo od počiatku, čo sme počuli, čo sme videli svojimi očami, na čo sme sa dívali, a čoho sa naše ruky dotýkaly, o slove života -
1That 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
2a ten život sa zjavil, a videli sme a svedčíme a zvestujeme vám ten večný život, ktorý bol u Otca a zjavil sa nám -,
2(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);
3teda čo sme videli a počuli, zvestujeme vám, aby ste aj vy mali obecenstvo s nami. A naše obecenstvo je s Otcom a jeho Synom, Ježišom Kristom.
3that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4A to vám píšeme nato, aby bola vaša radosť naplnená.
4And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
5A toto je zvesť, ktorú sme počuli od neho a ktorú vám zvestujeme, že Bôh je svetlo, a že niet v ňom nijakej tmy.
5This 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.
6Keď povieme, že máme obecenstvo s ním a chodíme vo tme, luháme a nečiníme pravdy;
6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.
7ale keď chodíme vo svetle, jako je on vo svetle, máme obecenstvo jeden s druhým, a krv Ježiša Krista, jeho Syna, očisťuje nás od každého hriechu.
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8Keď povieme, že nemáme hriechu, sami seba zvodíme, a niet v nás pravdy.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9Keď vyznávame svoje hriechy, verný je a spravedlivý, aby nám odpustil hriechy a očistil nás od každej neprávosti.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10Keď povieme, že sme nehrešili, robíme ho lhárom, a niet v nás jeho slova.
10If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
