1 Yohana 1
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Habari hii ya yahusu Neno la uzima lililokuwako tangu mwanzo. Sisi tumepata kulisikia na kuliona kwa macho yetu wenyewe; tulilitazama na kulishika kwa mikono yetu wenyewe.
1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life:
2Uzima huo ulipotokea sisi tuliuona na sasa tunasema habari zake na kuwaambieni juu ya uzima huo wa milele uliokuwa kwa Baba na uliodhihirishwa kwetu.
2For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us:
3Tulichokiona na kukisikia ndicho tunachowatangazieni ninyi pia ili nanyi mpate kushirikiana nasi katika umoja tulio nao na Baba na Mwanae Yesu Kristo.
3That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4Tunawaandikia ninyi mambo haya kusudi furaha yetu ikamilike.
4And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.
5Basi, habari tuliyoisikia kwake Yesu na tunayowahubirieni ndiyo hii: Mungu ni mwanga na hamna giza lolote ndani yake.
5And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6Tukisema kwamba tuna umoja naye, na papo hapo twaishi gizani, tutakuwa tumesema uongo kwa maneno na matendo.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
7Lakini tukiishi katika mwanga, kama naye alivyo katika mwanga, basi tutakuwa na umoja sisi kwa sisi, na damu yake Yesu Kristo, Mwanae, inatutakasa dhambi zote.
7But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8Tukisema kwamba hatuna dhambi, tunajidanganya wenyewe na ukweli haumo ndani yetu.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9Lakini tukiziungama dhambi zetu, basi Mungu ni mwaminifu na mwadilifu, naye atatusamehe dhambi zetu na kututakasa na uovu wote.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10Tukisema kwamba hatujatenda dhambi, tutakuwa tumemfanya Mungu mwongo, na neno lake halimo ndani yetu.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
