¹Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

¹ Képp ku gëm ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi, juddu nga ci Yàlla; te ku bëgg waajur, dinga bëgg itam ki mu jur.

²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

² Xam nanu ne, bëgg nanu doomi Yàlla yi ci lii: bëgg Yàlla tey sàmm ay ndigalam.

³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

³ Ndaxte mbëggeel ci Yàlla mooy sàmm ay ndigalam; te ay ndigalam diisuñu.

⁴For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

⁴ Ndaxte képp ku juddu ci Yàlla day noot àddina; te li nuy noote àddina mooy sunu ngëm.

⁵Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵ Ku noot àddina mooy kan? Mooy ki gëm ne, Yeesu mooy Doomu Yàlla.

⁶This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

⁶ Yeesu Kirist mooy ki ñëw, jaar ci ndox ak deret; du ci ndox rekk, waaye ndox ak deret. Te Xelu Yàlla mi moo koy seedeel, ndax Xel mi mooy dëgg.

⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

⁷ Ndaxte am na ñetti seede:

⁸And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

⁸ Xel mi, ndox ak deret, te ñoom ñett ñépp, ñoo bokk benn baat.

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

⁹ Seedes nit, dinanu ko nangu, waaye seedes Yàlla moo gën a wóor, ndax boobu seede mooy li Yàlla seede ci Doomam.

¹⁰He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

¹⁰ Ku gëm Doomu Yàlla ji, am nga seede boobu ci sa xol. Ku gëmul Yàlla, teg nga ko kuy tebbi waxam ndaxte gëmuloo li Yàlla seede ci Doomam.

¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹¹ Te seede si mooy lii: Yàlla jox na nu dund gu dul jeex, te dund googoo ngi ci Doomam.

¹²He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

¹² Ku am Doom ji, am nga dund; ku amul Doomu Yàlla, amuloo dund.

¹³These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

¹³ Maa ngi leen di bind yëf yii, yéen ñi gëm turu Doomu Yàlla ji, ngir ngeen xam ne, am ngeen dund gu dul jeex.

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

¹⁴ Kóolute gi nu am ci kanam Yàlla mooy lii, su nu ko ñaanee dara ci coobareem, dina nu nangul.

¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

¹⁵ Gannaaw xam nañu ne, dina nangu lépp lu nu koy ñaan, xam nanu it ne, li nu ko ñaan, jox na nu ko.

¹⁶If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

¹⁶ Ku gis mbokkam, muy def bàkkaar bu jarul dee, na ko ñaanal, te Yàlla dina ko may dund. Ku def bàkkaar bu jarul dee laa wax. Ndaxte am na bàkkaar bu jar dee; boobu taxul may wax, mu ñaanal ko.

¹⁷All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

¹⁷ Gépp jubadi bàkkaar la, waaye am na bàkkaar bu jarul dee.

¹⁸We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

¹⁸ Xam nanu ne, képp ku juddu ci Yàlla doo sax ci bàkkaar, waaye Doomu Yàlla ji mooy wottu sa bakkan, ba Ibliis du la manal dara.

¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

¹⁹ Nun nag xam nanu ne, nu ngi ci Yàlla, te àddina sépp a ngi tëdd ci loxoy Ibliis.

²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

²⁰ Xam nanu ne, Doomu Yàlla ji ñëw na te may na nu xel, ba nu man a xam Aji Wóor ji. Te nu ngi ci Aji Wóor ji ak ci Doomam Yeesu Kirist. Kooku mooy Yàlla ju wóor, ji yor dund gu dul jeex.

²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

²¹ Samay doom, wottuleen seen bopp ciy xërëm.
