1 Yohannis 5
1 Yesuus kun Kiristoos akka taʼe namni amanu hundinuu Waaqa irraa dhalate; namni Abbaa jaallatu hundinuus kan Abbaa irraa dhalates ni jaallata.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.
2 Nu yommuu Waaqa jaallannuu fi yommuu ajaja isaa eegnutti akka ijoollee Waaqaa jaallannu kanaan beekna.
This is how we know that we sincerely love the children of God: by sincerely loving God and keeping His commandments.
3 Waaqa jaallachuun ajaja isaa eeguu dha. Ajajni isaas hin ulfaatu.
For this is God’s sincere love, that we keep His commandments. His commandments aren’t burdensome,
4 Namni Waaqa irraa dhalatu hundinuu addunyaa ni moʼataatii. Kan addunyaa moʼatus amantii keenya.
for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.
5 Yesuus Ilma Waaqaa taʼuu isaa nama amanu malee eenyutu addunyaa moʼata?
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but one who believes that Jesus is God’s Son?
6 Inni bishaanii fi dhiigaan dhufe isa kana; innis Yesuus Kiristoos. Inni bishaanii fi dhiigaan dhufe malee bishaan qofaan hin dhufne. Kanas Hafuuratu dhugaa baʼa; Hafuurri dhugaadhaatii.
This is He who came by water and blood - Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood.
7 Dhuga baatota sadiitu jira:
It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that testify,
8 Isaanis Hafuura, bishaanii fi dhiiga; sadanuus walii galu.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are in agreement as one.
9 Dhuga baʼumsa namaa ni fudhanna; dhuga baʼumsi Waaqaa garuu kana caalaa guddaa dha; dhuga baʼumsi kun isa Waaqni waaʼee Ilma isaa dhugaa baʼe sana.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; because this is God’s testimony which He has testified about His Son.
10 Namni Ilma Waaqaatti amanu kam iyyuu dhuga baʼumsa kana garaa isaa keessaa qaba. Namni Waaqa hin amanne garuu waan isa Waaqni waaʼee Ilma isaa dhugaa baʼe sana hin amaniniif inni Waaqa sobduu godheera.
One who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself. One who doesn’t believe God has accused Him of being a liar, because he hasn’t believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.
11 Dhuga baʼumsi sunis isa kana: Waaqni jireenya bara baraa nuu kenneera; jireenyi sunis Ilma isaa keessa jira. (aiōnios g166)
This is the witness, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Namni Ilma sana qabu jireenya qaba; namni Ilma Waaqaa hin qabne immoo jireenya hin qabu.
Whoever has the Son has life. Whoever doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have life.
13 Isin warri maqaa Ilma Waaqaatti amantan jireenya bara baraa qabaachuu keessan akka beektaniif ani waan kana isinii barreessa. (aiōnios g166)
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
14 Ija jabinni nu fuula Waaqaa duratti qabnu isa kana: yoo nu akka fedhii isaatti waan hunda isa kadhanne inni nuuf dhagaʼa.
This is the confidence that we have in Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 Nu yoo akka inni waan nu kadhannu hunda nuuf dhagaʼu beekne, akka waan isa kadhannes argannu ni beekna.
If we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
16 Namni kam iyyuu utuu obboleessi isaa cubbuu gara duʼaatti hin geessine hojjetuu yoo arge Waaqa kadhachufii qaba; Waaqnis warra cubbuun isaanii gara duʼaatti isaan hin geessineef jireenya ni kenna. Cubbuun gara duʼaatti nama geessu jira; anis waan akkasiitiif inni haa kadhatu jechuu koo miti.
If you see your brother or sister committing a sin not leading to death, you should ask, and God will, for you, give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a kind of sin leading to death. I don’t say that you should make requests for this.
17 Jalʼinni hundinuu cubbuu dha; cubbuun gara duʼaatti nama hin geessines jira.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a kind of sin that doesn’t lead to death.
18 Namni Waaqa irraa dhalate kam iyyuu akka cubbuu hojjechuutti hin fufne ni beekna; Inni Waaqa irraa dhalate sun isa eega; inni hamaan isa tuquu hin dandaʼu.
We know that anyone who is born of God doesn’t keep sinning, but He who was born of God keeps him. The wicked one doesn’t harm or even touch him.
19 Nu ijoollee Waaqaa akka taane, addunyaan guutuunis toʼannaa isa hamaa sanaa jala akka jiru ni beekna.
We know that we belong to God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 Akkasumas akka Ilmi Waaqaa dhufee akka isa dhugaa taʼe sanas beeknuuf hubannaa nuu kenne ni beekna. Nus Ilma isaa isa dhugaa sana, jechuunis Yesuus Kiristoositti jirra. Inni Waaqa dhugaa ti; jireenya bara baraatis. (aiōnios g166)
We know that God’s Son has come, and has given us understanding, so that we might know Him who is true. We are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Yaa ijoolle, waaqota tolfamoo irraa of eegaa.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
