Eyokuqala EkaJohane 1:1-10
1 Silibhalela ngalowo owayekhona kusukela ekuqaleni, esamuzwayo ekhuluma, sambona ngawethu, samkhangelisisa futhi samthinta ngezandla zethu. Silibhalela mayelana lelizwi lokuphila.+
2 (Phela ukuphila kwabonakaliswa. Sikubonile lokhu futhi siyafakaza+ silibikela ukuthi ukuphila okungapheliyo+ okwakukuBaba kwabonakaliswa kithi.)
3 Sesilibikela ngalokho esakubonayo lesakuzwayo+ ukuze lani libe lobudlelwano* lathi. Ebudlelwaneni lobo kuloBaba leNdodana yakhe uJesu Khristu.+
4 Sibhala izinto lezi ukuze injabulo yethu iphelele.
5 Nanti ilizwi esilibika kini esalizwa ngaye, lithi: UNkulunkulu uyikukhanya+ futhi akula ngitsho ubumnyama kuye.
6 Nxa sisithi, “Silobudlelwano* laye” kodwa thina siqhubeka sihamba emnyameni, siyabe siqamba amanga futhi singenzi okutshiwo liqiniso.+
7 Kodwa nxa sihamba ekukhanyeni njengoba yena esekukhanyeni, silobudlelwano laye njalo igazi leNdodana yakhe uJesu liyasihlambulula kuzo zonke izono.+
8 Nxa sisithi, “Asilasono,” siyaziyenga+ futhi iqiniso alikho kithi.
9 Kodwa nxa sivuma izono zethu, uyasithethelela njalo asihlambulule kukho konke okungalunganga njengoba yena ethembekile futhi elungile.+
10 Nxa sisithi, “Kasonanga,” simenza umqambi wamanga njalo ilizwi lakhe alikho kithi.
