Īvods.
1 Tū, kas beja nu īsōkuma, kū mes dzērdējom un ar sovom acim redzējom, kū mes apskatejom un ar sovom rūkom aptaustejom, tū mes sludynojam par dzeiveibas Vōrdu.
2 Jā, dzeiveiba pasarōdeja un mes kai oculīcinīki līcynojam un sludynojam jums myužeigū dzeivi, kura beja pi Tāva un pasarōdeja mums. 3 Kū mes redzējom un kū dzērdējom, tū arī jums sludynojam, lai arī jums ar mums byutu draudzeiba. Mums ir draudzeiba ar Tāvu un ar Jō Dālu Jezu Kristu.
4 Un šytū mes jums rokstom, ka (jyus prīcōtūs un) myusu prīca byutu piļneiga.
Dīvs ir gaisma.
5 Šitei ir tei prīceigō ziņa, kū mes nu Jō dzerdējom un tagad jums stōstam: Dīvs ir gaisma un Jymā nav nikaida tymsuma.
6 Un jo mes apgolvōtu, ka asom ar Jū draudzeibā, bet tūmār dzeivōtu tymsumā, tad mes byutu nūžālojami meli un pēc patīseibas mes nadareitu. 7 Bet jo mes dzeivojam gaismā tai, kai Jys ir gaisma, tad mums vīnam ar ūtru ir draudzeiba, un Jō Dāla Jezus (Kristus) asnis myusus atteirej nu ikvīna grāka. 8 Bet jo mes apgolvōtu, ka mes asom breivi nu grāka, tad mes poši sevi mōneitu un patīseibas myusūs nabyutu. 9 Bet jo mes sovus grākus izzeistam, tad Jys ir uzticeigs un taisneigs un Jys mums grākus pīdūs un nūteireis myusus nu ikvīnas nataisneibas. 10 Bet jo mes saceitu: Mes naasom sagrākōjuši, tad mes Jū īskaiteitu par meli un myusūs nabyutu Jō vōrda.
The Word of Life
1 We write to you about the Word of life, which has existed from the very beginning. We have heard it, and we have seen it with our eyes; yes, we have seen it, and our hands have touched it. 2 When this life became visible, we saw it; so we speak of it and tell you about the eternal life which was with the Father and was made known to us. 3 What we have seen and heard we announce to you also, so that you will join with us in the fellowship that we have with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 We write this in order that our joy may be complete.
God Is Light
5 Now the message that we have heard from his Son and announce is this: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him. 6 If, then, we say that we have fellowship with him, yet at the same time live in the darkness, we are lying both in our words and in our actions. 7 But if we live in the light—just as he is in the light—then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from every sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us. 9 But if we confess our sins to God, he will keep his promise and do what is right: he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make a liar out of God, and his word is not in us.
