1My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
1ʻA ʻeku fānau ʻofeina, ʻoku ou tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mou angahala. Pea kapau ʻe angahala ha taha, ʻoku ai hotau fakalelei ki he Tamai, ko Sisu Kalaisi ko e māʻoniʻoni
2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
2Pea ko e feilaulau totongi ia ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala: pea ʻikai ʻatautolu pe, ka koeʻuhi ko māmani kotoa pē.
3And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
3Pea ko eni ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau ʻilo ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku tau fai ʻene ngaahi fekau.
4He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
4Ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ʻOku ou ʻilo ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ko e loi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae moʻoni.
5But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.
5Ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ki heʻene folofola, kuo fakahaohaoa moʻoni ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua: ko eni ia ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau ʻiate ia.
6He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.
6Ko ia ia ʻoku ne pehē, ʻoku nofo ia kiate ia, ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻeveʻeva foki ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻeveʻeva ʻaʻana.
7Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.
7ʻE kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u tohi ha fekau foʻou kiate kimoutolu, ka ko e fekau motuʻa, naʻa mou maʻu mei he kamataʻanga. Ko e fekau motuʻa ko e folofola ia, ʻaia kuo mou ongoʻi mei he kamataʻanga.
8Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.
8Ko eni foki, ʻoku ou tohi ʻae fekau foʻou kiate kimoutolu, ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻoku moʻoni kiate ia mo kimoutolu: he kuo mole atu ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku ulo ni ʻae maama moʻoni.
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
9Ko ia ʻoku ne pehē, ʻoku ʻi he maama ia, ka ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ʻoku kei ʻi he poʻuli ia.
10He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.
10Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki hono tokoua, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he maama, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ha tūkiaʻanga.
11But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
11Ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli ia, pea ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo pe ʻoku ne ʻalu ki fē, he kuo fakakui hono mata ʻe he poʻuli.
12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
12ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae fānau ʻofeina, koeʻuhi kuo fakamolemolea hoʻomou angahala koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.
13I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
13ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku mei he kamataʻanga. ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kau talavou, koeʻuhi kuo mou ikuna ʻae tokotaha angakovi. ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae fānau siʻi, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻae Tamai.
14I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
14Kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku mei he kamataʻanga. Kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kau talavou, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou mālohi, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo mou ikuʻi ʻae tokotaha angakovi.
15Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
15ʻOua naʻa ʻofa ki māmani, pe ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi he māmani. Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ha taha ki māmani, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae Tamai.
16For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16He ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he māmani, ko e holi ʻoe kakano, pea mo e holi ʻoe mata, mo e laukau ʻoe moʻui, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe Tamai, ka ʻoku ʻoe māmani ia.
17And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever.
17Pea ʻoku mole ange ʻa māmani, pea mo e holi ʻo ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku nofomaʻu ia ʻo taʻengata.
18Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour.
18ʻAe fānau siʻi, ko e kuonga fakamui eni: pea hangē ko hoʻomou fanongo ʻe haʻu ʻae Fili ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku ai ni ʻae ngaahi fili tokolahi ʻo Kalaisi: ko ia ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ko e kuonga fakamui eni,
19They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us.
19Naʻa nau ʻalu atu meiate kitautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻotautolu; he ka ne ʻotautolu ʻakinautolu, pehē, kuo nau nofomaʻu mo kitautolu: ka ko e meʻa ia, ke hā ai naʻe ʻikai ʻotautolu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
20But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
20Ka kuo mou maʻu ʻae pani mei he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
21I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth.
21Kuo ʻikai te u tohi kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloʻi ʻae moʻoni, ka koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha loi ʻe tupu ʻi he moʻoni.
22Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.
22Ko hai ia ʻoku loi, ka ko ia ʻoku ne fakafisinga ʻoku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu? Ko e fili ʻo Kalaisi ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakafisinga ʻi he Tamai mo e ʻAlo.
23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.
23Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fakafisinga ʻi he ʻAlo ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae Tamai.
24As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
24Ko ia, tuku ke nofomaʻu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻaia kuo mou fanongo mei he kamataʻanga. Kapau ʻe nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he meʻa kuo mou ongoʻi mei he kamataʻanga, pehē ʻe nofomaʻu foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻAlo, pea mo e Tamai.
25And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting.
25Pea ko eni ʻae talaʻofa, ʻaia kuo ne talaʻofa ai kiate kitautolu, ko e moʻui taʻengata.
26These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you.
26Ko e ngaahi meʻa eni kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
27And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.
27Ka ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he pani ʻoku mou maʻu meiate ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke akonakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha: kae hangē ʻoku akonakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he pani ko ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku moʻoni ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e loi, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko ʻene akonekina ʻakimoutolu, ke mou nofo pehē kiate ia.
28And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming.
28Pea ko eni, ʻe fānau ʻofeina, mou nofo pe kiate ia; koeʻuhi, ʻoka hā mai ia, ketau maʻu ai ʻae mālohi, pea ʻikai mā ʻi hono ʻao, ʻi heʻene hāʻele mai.
29If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.
29Kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia, ʻoku mou ʻilo foki, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai māʻoniʻoni, kuo fanauʻi ia ʻiate ia.
