I John 1

That 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;

M'ap ekri nou sou pawòl ki bay lavi a, pawòl ki te la depi nan konmansman tout bagay. Nou te tande l', nou te wè l' ak pwòp je nou, nou te gade l' byen gade, nou te manyen l' ak men nou.

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Lè lavi a te parèt, nou te wè li. Se poutèt sa mwen ka pale nou sou sa: m'ap fè nou konnen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an, lavi ki te la avèk Papa a, lavi ki te parèt aklè devan nou an.

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Sa nou menm nou te wè a, sa nou te tande a, m'ap fè nou konnen l' tou pou nou ka viv ansanm yonn ak lòt nan lavi nou tout n'ap mennen ansanm ak Papa a ansanm ak Pitit li a, Jezikri.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

M'ap ekri nou sa pou kè nou ka kontan nèt ale.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Men nouvèl nou te tande nan bouch Jezikri a, nouvèl m'ap fè nou konnen an: Bondye se limyè. Pa gen fènwa nan Bondye.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

Si nou di n'ap viv ansanm ak li, pou anmenmtan n'ap viv nan fènwa, n'ap bay manti ni nan sa n'ap di, ni nan sa n'ap fè.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Men, si n'ap viv nan limyè menm jan li menm Bondye li nan limyè, lè sa a se tout bon n'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Jezi, Pitit Bondye a, va netwaye nou ak san li anba tout peche nou yo.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Si nou di nou pa gen peche, se tèt nou n'ap twonpe. Verite a pa nan nou.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Men, si nou rekonèt devan Bondye nou fè peche, nou mèt gen konfyans nan li. Paske l'ap fè sak gen pou fèt la: la padonnen tout peche nou yo, la netwaye nou anba tou sa ki mal.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Men, si nou di nou pa t' fè peche, nou fè Bondye pase pou mantò: Pawòl li pa nan kè nou.
