1 John 3
1 See what great love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of God! The reason the world does not know you is that it did not know him.
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 we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when he appears, we will be like him, because we will 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 Everyone who places this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
Namni akkasitti isa abdatu hundinuu akkuma inni qulqulluu taʼe sana of qulqulleessa.
4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
Namni cubbuu hojjetu kam iyyuu seeratti ni fincila; cubbuun finciluudhaatii.
5 But you know that he appeared in order to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
Isin garuu akka inni cubbuu keenya balleessuudhaaf mulʼate ni beektu. Isa keessa cubbuun hin jiru.
6 No one who abides in him continues in sin; no one who continues in sin has either seen him or 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 one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous.
Yaa ijoolle, namni tokko iyyuu isin hin gowwoomsin. Akkuma inni qajeelaa taʼe sana namni waan qajeelaa hojjetus qajeelaa dha.
8 Whoever practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
Namni cubbuu hojjetu kan diiyaabiloos; diiyaabiloos jalqabumaa kaasee cubbuu hojjetaatii. Ilmi Waaqaa hojii diiyaabiloos diiguudhaaf mulʼateetii.
9 No one who has been born of God continues in sin, because God's seed abides in him; he cannot continue in sin, because he has been 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 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love 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 you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Ergaan isin jalqabaa kaaftanii dhageessan isa, “Nu wal jaallachuu qabna” jedhuu dha.
12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil, but the deeds of his brother were 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 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Yaa obboloota ko, yoo addunyaan isin jibbe isin hin dinqin.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love his brother abides in death.
Nu sababii obboloota jaallannuuf duʼa keessaa gara jireenyaatti akka ceene ni beekna. Namni obboleessa isaa hin jaallanne duʼa keessa jiraata.
15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has 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 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Yesuus Kiristoos lubbuu isaa dabarsee nuuf kenneera: Jaalalli maal akka taʼes kanaan beekna; nus akkasuma lubbuu keenya dabarsinee obboloota keenyaaf kennuu qabna.
17 If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need but closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide 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 or speech, but in deed and truth.
Yaa ijoollee jaallatamoo, kottaa dubbiin yookaan afaan qofaan utuu hin taʼin hojii fi dhugaadhaan jaallannaa.
19 By this we know that we are of the truth and can reassure our hearts before him:
Nus kan dhugaa taʼuu keenya kanaan beekna; fuula isaa durattis garaa keenya boqochiifna.
20 If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows 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 hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
Yaa michoota, yoo garaan keenya nutti muruu baate nu fuula Waaqaa duratti ija jabina qabna.
22 and receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what is 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 believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded.
Ajajni isaas kana: kunis nu maqaa Ilma isaa Yesuus Kiristoositti akka amannuu fi akkuma inni nu ajajetti akka wal jaallannuuf.
24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. And we know that he abides in us because of the Spirit he has 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.
