King James Version
AFR DVK
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;
Dit wat van die begin af was, wat ons gehoor het, wat ons met ons oë gesien het, wat ons aangeskou het, en ons hande betas het, van die Woord van die lewe;
2
(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;)
(Want die lewe is geopenbaar, en ons het dit gesien, en getuig, en verkondig aan julle daardie ewige lewe, wat by die Vader was, en aan ons geopenbaar is;)
3
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.
Dit wat ons gesien en gehoor het, verkondig ons aan julle, dat julle ook gemeenskap met ons mag hê: en waarlik ons gemeenskap is met die Vader, en met sy Seun Jesus Christus.
4
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
En hierdie dinge skryf ons aan julle, dat julle blydskap vol mag wees.
5
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.
Dit dan is die boodskap wat ons van Hom gehoor het, en aan julle verkondig, dat God lig is, en in Hom is daar geen duisternis nie.
6
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
As ons sê dat ons gemeenskap met Hom het, en in die duisternis wandel, lieg ons, en doen nie die waarheid nie:
7
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.
Maar as ons in die lig wandel, soos Hy in die lig is, het ons gemeenskap met mekaar, en die bloed van Jesus Christus sy Seun reinig ons van alle sonde.
8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
As ons sê dat ons geen sonde het nie, bedrieg ons onsself, en die waarheid is nie in ons nie.
9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
As ons ons sondes bely, Hy is getrou en regverdig om ons die sondes te vergewe, en ons van alle ongeregtigheid te reinig.
10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
As ons sê dat ons nie gesondig het nie, maak ons Hom tot ’n leuenaar, en sy woord is nie in ons nie.
