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
1الذي كان من البدء الذي سمعناه الذي رأيناه بعيوننا الذي شاهدناه ولمسته ايدينا من جهة كلمة الحياة.
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);
2فان الحياة أظهرت وقد رأينا ونشهد ونخبركم بالحياة الابدية التي كانت عند الآب وأظهرت لنا.
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.
3الذي رأيناه وسمعناه نخبركم به لكي يكون لكم ايضا شركة معنا. واما شركتنا نحن فهي مع الآب ومع ابنه يسوع المسيح.
4And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
4ونكتب اليكم هذا لكي يكون فرحكم كاملا
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.
5وهذا هو الخبر الذي سمعناه منه ونخبركم به ان الله نور وليس فيه ظلمة البتة.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.
6ان قلنا ان لنا شركة معه وسلكنا في الظلمة نكذب ولسنا نعمل الحق
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.
7ولكن ان سلكنا في النور كما هو في النور فلنا شركة بعضنا مع بعض ودم يسوع المسيح ابنه يطهرنا من كل خطية.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8ان قلنا انه ليس لنا خطية نضل انفسنا وليس الحق فينا.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9ان اعترفنا بخطايانا فهو امين وعادل حتى يغفر لنا خطايانا ويطهرنا من كل اثم.
10If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10ان قلنا اننا لم نخطئ نجعله كاذبا وكلمته ليست فينا
