1 John 3
1 BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Nu akka ijoollee Waaqaa jedhamnee waamamnuuf jaalalli Abbaan nurratti dhangalaase akkam guddaa dha! Nus akkasuma ijoollee isaa ti! Addunyaan waan isa hin beekiniif nu hin beeku.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Yaa michoota jaallatamoo, nu amma ijoollee Waaqaa ti; gara fuula duraatti immoo maal akka taanu amma hin ibsamne. Garuu yommuu inni mulʼatutti sababii akkuma inni jirutti isa arginuuf nu akkuma isaa akka taanu ni beekna.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Namni akkasitti isa abdatu hundinuu akkuma inni qulqulluu taʼe sana of qulqulleessa.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Namni cubbuu hojjetu kam iyyuu seeratti ni fincila; cubbuun finciluudhaatii.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Isin garuu akka inni cubbuu keenya balleessuudhaaf mulʼate ni beektu. Isa keessa cubbuun hin jiru.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Namni isaan jiraatu kam iyyuu cubbuu hin hojjetu. Namni cubbuu hojjetu kam iyyuu isa hin argine yookaan isa hin beekne.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Yaa ijoolle, namni tokko iyyuu isin hin gowwoomsin. Akkuma inni qajeelaa taʼe sana namni waan qajeelaa hojjetus qajeelaa dha.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Namni cubbuu hojjetu kan diiyaabiloos; diiyaabiloos jalqabumaa kaasee cubbuu hojjetaatii. Ilmi Waaqaa hojii diiyaabiloos diiguudhaaf mulʼateetii.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Namni Waaqa irraa dhalate kam iyyuu waan sanyiin Waaqaa isa keessa jiraatuuf cubbuu hojjechuutti hin fufu; inni waan Waaqa irraa dhalateef cubbuu hojjechuu hin dandaʼu.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Ijoolleen Waaqaatii fi ijoolleen diiyaabiloos kanaan gargar baafamanii beekamu: Namni waan qajeelaa hin hojjenne yookaan obboleessa isaa hin jaallanne kam iyyuu kan Waaqaa miti.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Ergaan isin jalqabaa kaaftanii dhageessan isa, “Nu wal jaallachuu qabna” jedhuu dha.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Isin akka Qaayin isa kan isa hamaa sanaa taʼee obboleessa isaa ajjeese sanaa hin taʼinaa; inni maaliif obboleessa isaa ajjeese? Sababii hojiin isaa jalʼaa taʼee, kan obboleessa isaa immoo qajeelaa taʼeef.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
Yaa obboloota ko, yoo addunyaan isin jibbe isin hin dinqin.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Nu sababii obboloota jaallannuuf duʼa keessaa gara jireenyaatti akka ceene ni beekna. Namni obboleessa isaa hin jaallanne duʼa keessa jiraata.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Namni obboleessa isaa jibbu kam iyyuu nama nama ajjeesuu dha; isinis akka namni nama ajjeesu jireenya bara baraa of keessaa hin qabne beektu. (aiōnios g166)
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Yesuus Kiristoos lubbuu isaa dabarsee nuuf kenneera: Jaalalli maal akka taʼes kanaan beekna; nus akkasuma lubbuu keenya dabarsinee obboloota keenyaaf kennuu qabna.
17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
Namni qabeenya addunyaa qabu kam iyyuu yoo obboleessa isaa rakkataa argee garaa itti jabaate jaalalli Waaqaa akkamitti isa keessa jiraachuu dandaʼa?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Yaa ijoollee jaallatamoo, kottaa dubbiin yookaan afaan qofaan utuu hin taʼin hojii fi dhugaadhaan jaallannaa.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
Nus kan dhugaa taʼuu keenya kanaan beekna; fuula isaa durattis garaa keenya boqochiifna.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Yeroo garaan keenya nutti murutti Waaqni garaa keenya caalaa guddaa akka taʼe ni beeknaatii; inni waan hunda ni beeka.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
Yaa michoota, yoo garaan keenya nutti muruu baate nu fuula Waaqaa duratti ija jabina qabna.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Nus sababii ajaja isaa eegnuu fi sababii waan isa gammachiisu hojjennuuf waan kadhannu hunda isa irraa ni arganna.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Ajajni isaas kana: kunis nu maqaa Ilma isaa Yesuus Kiristoositti akka amannuu fi akkuma inni nu ajajetti akka wal jaallannuuf.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Namni ajaja isaa eegu isa keessa jiraata; innis isa keessa jiraata. Kanaanis akka inni nu keessa jiraatu nu Hafuura inni nuu kenneen ni beekna.
