1 K u alla kii rumaysta inuu Ciise yahay Masiixa, Ilaah buu ka dhashay; oo ku alla kii jecel kan dhalay, kan isaga ka dhashayna wuu jecel yahay.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

2 T aasaynu ku garanaynaa inaynu carruurta Ilaah jecel nahay, goortaynu Ilaah jeclaanno oo qaynuunnadiisa xajinno.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

3 W aa kan jacaylka Ilaah, kaasoo ah inaynu qaynuunnadiisa xajinno; oo qaynuunnadiisuna ma cusla.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

4 K u alla kii ka dhashay Ilaah, wuxuu ka adkaadaa dunida, oo waxaa libta ka adkaata dunida ah rumaysadkeenna.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

5 W aa ayo kan dunida ka adkaadaa, kan rumaystaa inuu Ciise yahay Wiilka Ilaah mooyaane?

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 K anu waa kii biyo iyo dhiig ku yimid, oo ah Ciise Masiix; biyo keliya kuma iman, laakiin wuxuu ku yimid biyo iyo dhiig.

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

7 O o waa Ruuxa kan maragga furaa, waayo, Ruuxa waa runta.

For there are three who testify:

8 W axaa jira saddex marag fura; waana Ruuxa iyo biyaha iyo dhiigga, oo saddexdaasuna waa isku mid.

the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

9 H addii aynu maragfurka dadka aqbali lahayn, maragfurka Ilaah baa ka weyn, waayo, maragfurka Ilaah waa kan oo ah inuu Wiilkiisa ka marag furay.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God’s testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

10 K a Wiilka Ilaah rumaystaa maragguu ku haystaa nafsaddiisa, kii aan Ilaah rumaysanna, wuxuu isaga ka dhigay beenaaleh; maxaa yeelay, wuxuusan rumaysan maraggii uu Ilaah ka marag furay Wiilkiisa.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

11 M aragguna waa kan, kaas oo ah in Ilaah ina siiyey nolosha weligeed ah, oo ay noloshanu Wiilkiisa ku jirto.

The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 K an Wiilka haystaa, noloshuu leeyahay. Kii aan Wiilka Ilaah haysanna nolosha ma leh. Dhammaadka

He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

13 W axyaalahan waxaan idiinku soo qoray, idinka oo rumaystay magaca Wiilka Ilaah, si aad u ogaataan inaad nolosha weligeed ah leedihiin.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

14 O o tanu waa kalsoonaanta aynu isaga u qabno, taasoo ah haddaynu wax uun doonistiisa ku barinno, isagu wuu ina maqlaa,

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

15 o o haddaynu og nahay inuu inaga maqlo wax alla wixii aynu ka barinno, waxaynu og nahay inaynu leennahay waxyaalihii aynu isaga ka barinnay.

And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

16 H addii qof uun arko walaalkii oo samaynaya dembi aan xagga dhimashada ahayn, waa inuu Ilaah baryo; isaguna noloshuu siin doonaa kuwa samaynaya dembi aan xagga dhimashada ahayn. Waxaa jira dembi xagga dhimashada ah. Oo anigu odhan maayo, Kaas ha ka tukado.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

17 X aqdarrada oo dhammu waa dembi; oo waxaa jira dembi aan xagga dhimashada ahayn.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

18 W aan og nahay in ku alla kii Ilaah ka dhashay aanu dembaabin. Maxaa yeelay, kii ka dhashay Ilaah naftiisuu ilaaliyaa, oo ka sharka lihina ma taabto.

We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

19 W axaynu og nahay inaynu kuwa Ilaah nahay, oo ay dunida oo dhammuna ku jirto gacanta ka sharka leh.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 W axaynu og nahay in Wiilka Ilaah yimid, oo wuxuu ina siiyey garasho si aynu ugu garanno kan runta ah; innaguna waa ku jirnaa kan runta ah, oo ah Wiilkiisa ee Ciise Masiix ah. Kanu waa Ilaaha runta ah iyo nolosha weligeed ah.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

21 C arruurtiiyey, sanamyada iska ilaaliya.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
