1 B al ogaada siduu yahay jacaylka Aabbuhu ina siiyey, taasoo ah in laynoogu yeedho carruurta Ilaah, oo saasaynu nahay. Sidaa aawadeed dunidu ina garan mayso, maxaa yeelay, isagaba ma ay garanaynin.

See what great love the Father has for us that He would call us His children. And that is what we are. For this reason the people of the world do not know who we are because they did not know Him.

2 G acaliyayaalow, imminka waxaynu nahay carruurta Ilaah; oo weli waxaynu noqon doonno lama muujin, laakiin waxaynu og nahay in goortuu muuqdo aynu noqon doonno sidiisa oo kale, waayo, waynu arki doonnaa isaga siduu yahay.

Dear friends, we are God’s children now. But it has not yet been shown to us what we are going to be. We know that when He comes again, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is.

3 O o mid kasta oo waxyaalahaas ka rajeeyaa isaga, naftiisuu daahiriyaa siduu isaguba daahir u yahay. Carruurta Ilaah Waa Inaanay Dembaabin

The person who is looking for this to happen will keep himself pure because Christ is pure.

4 K ii kasta oo dembi falaa wuxuu falaa caasinimo; oo dembigu wuxuu yahay caasinimo.

The person who keeps on sinning is guilty of not obeying the Law of God. For sin is breaking the Law of God.

5 O o idinku waad og tihiin in isagu u muuqday inuu dembiyadeenna inaga qaado, oo isagu dembi ma leh.

You know that Christ came to take away our sins. There is no sin in Him.

6 K u alla kii isaga ku sii jiraa, ma dembaabo; ku alla kii dembaabaa ma uu arkin isaga, oo weliba ma yaqaan isaga.

The person who lives by the help of Christ does not keep on sinning. The person who keeps on sinning has not seen Him or has not known Him.

7 C arruurtiiyey, yaan cidi idin khiyaanayn; kii xaqnimo falaa waa xaq siduu isaguba xaq u yahay.

My children, let no one lead you in the wrong way. The man who does what is right, is right with God in the same way as Christ is right with God.

8 K ii dembi falaa wuxuu yahay kan Ibliiska; oo Ibliisku tan iyo bilowgii ayuu dembaabayay. Taas aawadeed ayuu Wiilka Ilaah u muuqday inuu baabbi'iyo shuqullada Ibliiska.

The person who keeps on sinning belongs to the devil. The devil has sinned from the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.

9 K u alla kii Ilaah ka dhashay dembi ma falo; maxaa yeelay, Ilaah dabiicaddiisu way ku sii jirtaa isaga; oo ma dembaabi karo, waayo, wuxuu ka dhashay Ilaah.

No person who has become a child of God keeps on sinning. This is because the Holy Spirit is in him. He cannot keep on sinning because God is his Father.

10 T an ayay carruurta Ilaah iyo carruurta Ibliisku ku kala muuqdaan; ku alla kii aan xaqnimo falin ma aha kan Ilaah, oo waxaa la mid ah kan aan walaalkii jeclayn.

This is the way you can know who are the children of God and who are the children of the devil. The person who does not keep on doing what is right and does not love his brother does not belong to God.

11 O o kanu waa warkii aad tan iyo bilowgii maqlayseen, kaasoo ah inaynu isjeclaanno,

This is what you have heard from the beginning, that we should love each other.

12 o o aynaan ahaanin sida Qaabiil oo ahaa kan sharka leh oo walaalkii dilay. Oo muxuu u dilay? Waayo, shuqulladiisu waxay ahaayeen shar, oo kuwii walaalkiisna xaq bay ahaayeen. Isjeclaada

Do not be like Cain. He was a child of the devil and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? It was because he did what was sinful and his brother did what was right.

13 W alaalayaalow, ha la yaabina haddii ay dunidu idin neceb tahay.

Do not be surprised if the world hates you, Christian brothers.

14 W axaynu og nahay inaynu dhimashada ka soo gudubnay oo aynu u soo gudubnay nolosha, maxaa yeelay, walaalaha ayaynu jecel nahay. Oo ka aan walaalkii jeclayn, dhimashaduu ku sii hadhaa.

We know we have passed from death into life. We know this because we love the Christians. The person who does not love has not passed from death into life.

15 K u alla kii walaalkii neceb waa dhiigqabe, oo idinkuna waad og tihiin inaanu dhiigqabena lahayn nolosha weligeed ah oo ku sii jiraysa.

A man who hates his brother is a killer in his heart. You know that life which lasts forever is not in one who kills.

16 T aasaynu jacaylka ku garanaynaa, waayo, isagu naftiisuu u bixiyey aawadeen; oo innaguna waa inaynu nafteenna u bixinno walaalaheen.

We know what love is because Christ gave His life for us. We should give our lives for our brothers.

17 L aakiin kan leh xoolaha dunidan, oo arka walaalkiis oo baahan, oo qalbigiisa ka xidha, sidee baa jacaylka Ilaah ugu jiraa isaga?

What if a person has enough money to live on and sees his brother in need of food and clothing? If he does not help him, how can the love of God be in him?

18 C arruurtaydiiyey, yeynan ku jeclaanin hadalka iyo afka toona, laakiin camalka iyo runta aan ku jeclaanno.

My children, let us not love with words or in talk only. Let us love by what we do and in truth.

19 O o taasaynu ku garan doonnaa inaynu kuwa runta nahay, oo aynu isaga hortiisa qalbigeenna kaga dhiiro gelin doonnaa

This is how we know we are Christians. It will give our heart comfort for sure when we stand before Him.

20 x agga wax alla wixii qalbigeennu inagu eedeeyo, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah waa ka weyn yahay qalbigeenna, oo wax walbaba wuu og yahay.

Our heart may say that we have done wrong. But remember, God is greater than our heart. He knows everything.

21 G acaliyayaalow, haddii aan qalbigeennu ina eedayn, kalsoonaan ayaynu ku leennahay xagga Ilaah.

Dear friends, if our heart does not say that we are wrong, we will have no fear as we stand before Him.

22 O o wax kastoo aynu ka barinno waynu ka helnaa, maxaa yeelay, qaynuunnadiisa ayaynu xajinnaa, oo waxaynu falnaa waxa isaga ka farxiya.

We will receive from Him whatever we ask if we obey Him and do what He wants.

23 O o kanu waa qaynuunkiisa, kaasoo ah inaynu rumaysanno magaca Wiilkiisa Ciise Masiix ah, oo aynu isjeclaanno, siduu qaynuunka inoo siiyey.

This is what He said we must do: Put your trust in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love each other. Christ told us to do this.

24 O o kii xajiya qaynuunnadiisa, wuu ku sii jiraa isaga, isaguna wuu ku sii jiraa. Oo saasaynu ku garanaynaa inuu isagu inagu sii jiro xagga Ruuxa uu ina siiyey.

The person who obeys Christ lives by the help of God and God lives in him. We know He lives in us by the Holy Spirit He has given us.
