1 Jan 1
1 Sa ki te ye depi kòmansman an, sa ke nou te tande, sa ke nou te wè avèk zye nou yo, sa ke nou te byen konnen, epi te manyen avèk men nou yo, konsènan Pawòl Lavi a;
That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life
2 epi lavi te vin parèt pou l vizib e nou te wè l, epi tande l, epi pwoklame a nou menm lavi etènèl la, ki te avèk Papa a, epi te fè parèt byen klè a nou. (aiōnios g166)
(And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us); (aiōnios g166)
3 Sa ke nou te wè epi tande, nou pwoklame a nou menm osi ke nou kapab genyen kominyon avèk nou. Konsa vrèman, kominyon nou se avèk Papa a, epi avèk Fis Li, Jésus Kri.
We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:
4 Epi bagay sa yo nou ekri, pou lajwa nou kapab vin konplèt.
And we are writing these things to you so that our joy may be made complete.
5 Men mesaj la ke nou te tande a Li, epi te anonse a nou menm, ke Bondye se limyè, epi nan Li nanpwen tenèb ditou.
This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.
6 Si nou di ke nou gen kominyon avè Li, men nou mache nan tenèb la, nou manti epi pa pratike laverite a.
If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue:
7 Men si nou mache nan limyè a, menm jan ke Li menm se nan limyè a, nou gen kominyon youn avèk lòt, epi san a Jésus, Fis Li, netwaye nou de tout peche.
But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.
8 Si nou di ke nou pa gen peche, n ap pase pwòp tèt nou nan desepsyon, epi laverite a pa nan nou.
If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.
9 Si nou konfese peche nou yo, Li se fidèl epi jis pou padonnen nou peche nou yo, epi pou netwaye nou de tout mal.
If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.
10 Epi si nou di ke nou pa peche, nou fè Li menm yon mantè, epi pawòl Li pa nan nou.
If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.
