1 W axaannu 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.

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life --

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

and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us --

3 W ixii 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.

that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;

4 O o waxaannu waxyaalahan idiinku soo qoraynaa si ay farxaddiinnu u buuxsanto. Ilaah Waa Nuur

and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

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

And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all;

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

if we may say -- `we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth;

7 L aakiin 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.

and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

8 H addaynu nidhaahno, Dembi ma lihin, nafsaddeenna ayaynu khiyaanaynaa, oo runtuna inaguma jirto.

if we may say -- `we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us;

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

if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

10 H addaynu nidhaahno, Ma aynu dembaabin, waxaynu Ilaah ka dhignaa beenaaleh, oo ereygiisa inaguma jiro.

if we may say -- `we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.
