Introduction to 1 John
2 DWRL He de'uu k'onc'c'ina, nuuni Aa be'iide, aabaa hinttenttoo markkatteetto; k'ay S'oossaa Aawuwaa matan de'iyaa nuw k'onc'c'eedda med'inaa de'uwaabaa hinttenttoo odeetto. BSB BSB: And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3 DWRL K'ay nuunanna hinttenttoo ittippetetsay de'ana mala, nuuni be'eeddawaanne siseeddawaa hinttenttoo odeetto; nuw Aawuwaananne Aa Na'aa Yesuusi Kiristtoosanna ittippetetsay de'ee. BSB BSB: We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 DWRL Nuuni nu nashechchay polettana mala, hawaa hinttenttoo s'aafeetto. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 DWRL Nuuni S'oossaa na'aappe sisiide, hinttenttoo odiyaa kiitay, «S'oossay poo'uwaa; aan d'umay mulekka baawa» yaagiyaawaa. BSB BSB: And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 DWRL Nuuni nuw aanana ittippetetsay de'ee giide d'umaan de'ooppe, nu haasayaaninne nu oosuwaan worddoteetto. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 DWRL Shin poo'uwaan I de'iyaawaadan, nuunikka poo'uwaan de'ooppe, nuw ittoo ittuwaanna ittippetetsay de'ee; k'ay Aa Na'aa, Yesuusi Kiristtoosa suutsay nagaraa ubbaappe nuuna geeshshee. BSB BSB: 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.
9 DWRL Shin nuuni S'oossaw nu nagaraa paas'ooppe, I nu nagaraa atto gaanawunne nu bayizzo oosuwaa ubbaappe nuuna geeshshanaw, ammanettiyaawaanne tumuwaa ootsiyaawaa. BSB BSB: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 DWRL Nuuni nagaraa ootsibeykko gooppe, S'oossaa wordduwaa geetto; Aa k'aalaykka nu wozanaan de'enna. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
