1 C hrist is the Word of Life. He was from the beginning. We have heard Him and have seen Him with our own eyes. We have looked at Him and put our hands on Him.

Waxaannu idiin soo qoraynaa wax ku saabsan wixii tan iyo bilowgii jiray, oo aannu maqalnay, oo aannu indhahayaga ku aragnay, oo aannu eegnay, oo ay gacmahayagu taabteen oo Ereyga nolosha ah.

2 C hrist Who is Life was shown to us. We saw Him. We tell you and preach about the Life that lasts forever. He was with the Father and He has come down to us.

Nolosha waa la muujiyey, oo waannu aragnay, waanan u marag furaynaa, oo waxaannu idiinka warramaynaa nolosha weligeed ah, ta Aabbaha la jirtay oo lanoo muujiyey.

3 W e are preaching what we have heard and seen. We want you to share together with us what we have with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

Wixii aannu aragnay oo aannu maqalnay ayaannu idiinka warramaynaa, si aad idinkuna noo soo wehelisaan; oo wehelnimadeennu waa mid la jirta Aabbaha iyo Wiilkiisa Ciise Masiix ah.

4 W e are writing this to you so our joy may be full. Christians Are to Live in the Light

Oo waxaannu waxyaalahan idiinku soo qoraynaa si ay farxaddiinnu u buuxsanto. Ilaah Waa Nuur

5 T his is what we heard Him tell us. We are passing it on to you. God is light. There is no darkness in Him.

Warkii aannu ka maqalnay oo aan idiinka warramayno wuxuu yahay, in Ilaah nuur yahay, oo isaga aan gudcur ku jirin innaba.

6 I f we say we are joined together with Him but live in darkness, we are telling a lie. We are not living the truth.

Haddaynu nidhaahno, Wehelnimo ayaynu la wadaagnaa isaga, oo aynu gudcurka ku soconno, been baynu sheegnaa, oo runta ma falno.

7 I f we live in the light as He is in the light, we share what we have in God with each other. And the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, makes our lives clean from all sin.

Laakiin haddaynu nuurka ku soconno siduu isaguba nuurka ugu jiro, wehelnimo ayaynu isla wada wadaagnaa, oo dhiigga Ciise, oo Wiilkiisa ah, wuxuu inaga nadiifiyaa dembi oo dhan.

8 I f we say that we have no sin, we lie to ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Haddaynu nidhaahno, Dembi ma lihin, nafsaddeenna ayaynu khiyaanaynaa, oo runtuna inaguma jirto.

9 I f we tell Him our sins, He is faithful and we can depend on Him to forgive us of our sins. He will make our lives clean from all sin.

Haddaynu dembiyadeenna qiranno, isagu waa aamin iyo caaddil inuu dembiyadeenna inaga cafiyo, oo uu inaga nadiifiyo xaqdarrada oo dhan.

10 I f we say we have not sinned, we make God a liar. And His Word is not in our hearts.

Haddaynu nidhaahno, Ma aynu dembaabin, waxaynu Ilaah ka dhignaa beenaaleh, oo ereygiisa inaguma jiro.
