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.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the 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 the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto 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.
that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Nus akka gammachuun keenya guutuu taʼuuf waan kana barreessina.
And we write the same things to you, in order that our 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 the same message which we have heard from him, we also proclaim 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 say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not 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, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Nu yoo cubbuu hin qabnu jenne of gowwoomsina; dhugaanis nu keessa hin jiru.
But if we say that we have no sin, we deceive 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, he is faithful and righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Nu yoo cubbuu hin hojjennee jenne immoo sobduu isa goona; dubbiin isaas nu keessa hin jiru.
If we may say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
