Introduction to 1 John
2 TSN Ene yo, yo e leng Botshelo jo bo tswang kwa Modimong re ne ra mmontshiwa, jalo re supa gore re mmonye: ke bua kaga Keresete, yo e leng Botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. O ne a na le Rara mme ra mmontshiwa. BSB BSB: And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3 TSN Gape ka re, re lo bolelela ka se rona re se bonyeng tota ra bo ra se utlwa, gore lo tle lo nne le seabe mo bolekaneng le mo boitumelong jo re nang najo mo Modimong le mo go Jesu Keresete MorwaOne. BSB BSB: We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 TSN Mme fa lo dira jaaka ke bua mo lokwalong lo, le lona lo tlaa tlala boitumelo, mme le rona re tlaa itumela. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 TSN O ke molaetsa o Modimo o o re neetseng go o lo bolelela: gore Modimo ke lesedi mme mo go One ga go na lefifi gotlhelele. BSB BSB: And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 TSN Jalo fa re re re ditsala tsa one, mme re tswelela re nna mo lefifing la semowa le mo sebeng, re bua maaka. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 TSN Mme fa re nna mo leseding la Modimo, fela jaaka Keresete a dira, hong re na le bolekane jo bo hakgamatsang le boitumelo yo mongwe mo go yo mongwe, mme madi a ga Jesu Morwa One a re tlhapisa mo boleong bongwe le bongwe. BSB BSB: But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
9 TSN Mme fa re ipolela dibe tsa rona mo go One, o ka ikanngwa go re itshwarela le go re tlhapisa mo tshiamololong nngwe le nngwe. (Ebile go tshwanetse Modimo sentle thata go re direla jaana gonne Keresete o swetse go tlosa dibe tsa rona). BSB BSB: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 TSN Fa re re ga re a leofa, re bua maaka ebile re bitsa Modimo moaki, gonne wa re re leofile. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
