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
1Kar je bilo od začetka, kar smo slišali, kar smo videli na svoje oči, kar smo gledali in so tipale naše roke, o Besedi življenja
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);
2(in življenje se je razodelo, in videli smo in pričamo in oznanjujemo vam večno življenje, ki je bilo pri Očetu in se je razodelo nam);
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.
3kar smo videli in slišali, oznanjamo vam, da imate tudi vi deleštvo z nami; deleštvo naše pa je z Očetom in Sinom njegovim Jezusom Kristusom.
4And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
4In to pišemo, da bode veselje vaše popolno.
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.
5In to je oznanilo, ki smo ga slišali od njega in ga vam oznanjamo: da je Bog luč, in teme v njem ni nobene.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.
6Ako pravimo, da imamo deleštvo ž njim, pa živimo v temi, lažemo in ne delamo resnice;
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.
7če pa živimo v luči, kakor je on v luči, imamo deleštvo [Ali: družbo, zvezo.] med seboj in kri Jezusa Kristusa, Sina njegovega, nas očiščuje slehernega greha.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
8Ako pravimo, da nimamo greha, sami sebe slepimo, in resnice ni v nas.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9Če pripoznavamo grehe svoje, je zvest in pravičen, da nam odpusti grehe in nas očisti sleherne krivice.Ako pravimo, da nismo grešili, ga delamo za lažnika, in besede njegove ni v nas.
10If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
10Ako pravimo, da nismo grešili, ga delamo za lažnika, in besede njegove ni v nas.
