1 Yohannis 1
1 Nu waaʼee Dubbii jireenyaa kan jalqabaa kaasee ture, kan dhageenye, kan ija keenyaan argine, kan ilaallee fi kan harki keenyas qaqqabe kana labsina.
He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have seen with our eyes, upon whom we have gazed, and whom our hands have certainly touched: He is the Word of Life.
2 Jireenyi mulʼateera; nus isa argineerra; dhugaas ni baanaaf; nu jireenya bara baraa isa Abbaa wajjin turee fi isa nutti mulʼate sana isinitti labsina. (aiōnios g166)
And that Life has been made manifest. And we have seen, and we testify, and we announce to you: the Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who appeared to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Akka isinis nu wajjin tokkummaa qabaattaniif waan arginee fi waan dhageenye isinitti labsina. Tokkummaan keenyas Abbaa fi Ilma isaa Yesuus Kiristoos wajjin.
He whom we have seen and heard, we announce to you, so that you, too, may have fellowship with us, and so that our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Nus akka gammachuun keenya guutuu taʼuuf waan kana barreessina.
And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
5 Ergaan nu isa irraa dhageenye, kan isinittis labsinu isa kana: Kunis akka Waaqni ifa taʼee fi akka dukkanni gonkumaa isa keessa hin jirree dha.
And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6 Nu isa wajjin tokkummaa qabna jennee yoo dukkana keessa deddeebine ni sobna; dhugaa sanaanis hin jiraannu.
If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
7 Garuu akkuma inni ifa keessa jiru sana, nus yoo ifa keessa deddeebine walii wajjin tokkummaa qabna; dhiigni Ilma isaa Yesuus cubbuu hundumaa irraa nu qulqulleessa.
But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 Nu yoo cubbuu hin qabnu jenne of gowwoomsina; dhugaanis nu keessa hin jiru.
If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 Yoo cubbuu keenya himanne, inni cubbuu keenya nuu dhiisuuf amanamaa fi qajeelaa dha; jalʼina hunda irraas nu qulqulleessa.
If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10 Nu yoo cubbuu hin hojjennee jenne immoo sobduu isa goona; dubbiin isaas nu keessa hin jiru.
If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.
