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 contemplated, and our hands have handled, concerning the living Word--
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)
(for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and declare to you that life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested 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.
that which we have seen and heard, we declare to you; that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship truly is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Nus akka gammachuun keenya guutuu taʼuuf waan kana barreessina.
And these things we write to you, that your joy may be complete.
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.
Moreover, this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
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 obey 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 Christ the Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 Nu yoo cubbuu hin qabnu jenne of gowwoomsina; dhugaanis nu keessa hin jiru.
If we say 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 just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Nu yoo cubbuu hin hojjennee jenne immoo sobduu isa goona; dubbiin isaas nu keessa hin jiru.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
