Introduction to 1 John
2 GOFWFTW He de7oy qonccin, nuuni iya be7idi, iyabaa markkattoos. Aawa matan de7iya nuus qonccida, merinaa de7uwabaa hinttew awaajjos. 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 GOFWFTW Nuura hinttew issifetethi daana mela nuuni be7idayssanne si7idayssa hinttew odoos. Hinttew nuura issifetethi de7iya gisho, Aawaranne iya Na7aa Yesuus Kiristtoosara issifetethi de7ees. 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 GOFWFTW Nu ufayssay polo gidana mela hessa hinttew xaafoos. BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 GOFWFTW Nuuni de7o gidida iyappe si7idi, hinttew odiya kiitay hayssa: “Xoossay poo7o; iyan dhumi baawa” yaageyssa. 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 GOFWFTW Nuus iyara issifetethi de7ees yaagishe dhuman de7ikko, nu odaaninne nu oosuwan worddotoos. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 GOFWFTW Shin poo7on I de7eyssada, nukka poo7on de7ikko, nuus woli giddon issifetethi de7ees. Iya Na7aa, Yesuusa suuthay nagara ubbaafe nuna geeshshees. 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 GOFWFTW Shin Xoossaas nu nagara paaxikko, I nu nagara atto gaanawunne nu qoho ooso ubbaafe nuna geeshshanaw, ammanettidayssanne tumaa. 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 GOFWFTW Nuuni nagara oothibookko giikko Xoossaa worddanchcho kessoos; iya qaalaykka nunan deenna. BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
