¹My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

¹Carruurtaydiiyey, waxaan waxyaalahan idiinku soo qorayaa si aydnaan u dembaabin; oo qof uun hadduu dembaabo, waxaynu xagga Aabbaha ku leennahay Dhexdhexaadiye, waana Ciise Masiix kan xaqa ah.

²and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

²Oo isaguna wuxuu dembiyadeenna u yahay kafaaraggudka; oo kuweenna oo keliya uma aha ee weliba wuxuu u yahay dembiyada dunida oo dhan.

³and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

³Oo taas ayaynu ku garanaynaa inaynu naqaan isaga, haddaynu qaynuunnadiisa adkayno.

⁴he who is saying, `I have known him,` and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;

⁴Kan yidhaahda, Waan aqaan isaga, oo aan qaynuunnadiisa adkayn, waa beenaaleh, oo runtu kuma jirto isaga.

⁵and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

⁵Laakiin kan ereygiisa adkeeya, runtii, Ilaah jacaylkiisu wuu ku dhan yahay isaga. Taas aynu ku garanaynaa inaynu isaga ku jirno.

⁶He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

⁶Kan yidhaahda, Isagaan ku jiraa, waa inuu u socdaa siduu isagu u socday.

⁷Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;

⁷Gacaliyayaalow, qaynuun cusub idiin soo qori maayo, laakiin waxaan idiin soo qorayaa qaynuun hore oo aad tan iyo bilowgii haysateen. Qaynuunkii hore waa hadalkii aad bilowgii maqasheen.

⁸again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;

⁸Oo weliba qaynuun cusub ayaan idiin soo qorayaa, kaas oo isaga iyo idinkaba run idinku dhex ah, maxaa yeelay, gudcurku waa dhammaanayaa, oo nuurka runta ahuna imminkuu iftiimayaa.

⁹he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;

⁹Kan yidhaahda, Nuurkaan ku jiraa, oo walaalkiis neceb, wuxuu ku jiraa gudcurka ilaa imminkada.

¹⁰he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;

¹⁰Kan walaalkii jecel, nuurkuu ku jiraa, oo wax lagu xumaado kuma jiro isaga.

¹¹and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

¹¹Laakiin kan walaalkii neceb, gudcurkuu ku jiraa, oo gudcurkuu ku socdaa, oo garan maayo meeshuu marayo, waayo, gudcurkaa indhihiisa tiray.

¹²I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

¹²Wax baan idiin soo qorayaa, carruurtiiyey, maxaa yeelay, dembiyadiinnii waa laydinka cafiyey magiciisa aawadiis.

¹³I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:

¹³Aabbayaashow, wax baan idiin soo qorayaa, maxaa yeelay, waad garanaysaan kan tan iyo bilowgii jira. Ragga dhallinyarada ahow, wax baan idiin soo qorayaa, maxaa yeelay, idinku kan sharka ah ayaad ka adkaateen. Carruurtaydiiyey, wax baan idiin soo qoray, maxaa yeelay, Aabbaha waad garanaysaan.

¹⁴I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

¹⁴Aabbayaashow, wax baan idiin soo qoray, maxaa yeelay, waad garanaysaan kan tan iyo bilowgii jira. Ragga dhallinyarada ahow, wax baan idiin soo qoray, maxaa yeelay, waad xoog weyn tihiin, oo ereyga Ilaah baa idinku jira, oo kan sharka ah ayaad ka adkaateen.

¹⁵Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁵Dunida iyo waxyaalaha dunida ku jira toona ha jeclaanina. Qof uun hadduu dunida jeclaado, jacaylka Aabbuhu kuma jiro isaga.

¹⁶because all that [is] in the world — the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁶Maxaa yeelay, waxaa dunida ku jira oo dhan oo ah damaca jidhka, iyo damaca indhaha, iyo faanka nolosha, xagga Aabbaha kama yimaadaan ee waxay ka yimaadaan xagga dunida.

¹⁷and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age.

¹⁷Oo duniduna way idlaanaysaa, iyo damaceeduba; laakiin kan doonista Ilaah yeelaa wuu jirayaa weligiis.

¹⁸Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — whence we know that it is the last hour;

¹⁸Carruurtiiyey, waa saacaddii u dambaysay, oo sidaad maqasheen inuu kan Masiixa ka geesta ahi imanayo, weliba imminka kuwa badan oo Masiixa ka gees ah ayaa kacay, taa aawadeed ayaynu ku garanaynaa inay saacaddii u dambaysay tahay.

¹⁹out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

¹⁹Way inaga baxeen, laakiin kuweennii ma ay ahayn; hadday kuweennii ahaayeen, way inala joogi lahaayeen; laakiin way inaga baxeen oo taasaa caddaynaysa inaanay kulligood inaga mid ahayn.

²⁰And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;

²⁰Laakiin idinku waxaad leedihiin subkid ka timid Kan Quduuska ah, oo wax walba waad taqaaniin.

²¹I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.

²¹Wixii aan idiin soo qoray uma aan soo qorin aqoonla'aantiinna xagga runta aawadeed, laakiin waxaan u soo qoray aqoonta aad runta taqaaniin iyo inaanay beenina runta ka iman aawadood.

²²Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

²²Waa kuma beenaaluhu, kan dafira inuu Ciise yahay Masiixa mooyaane? Isagu waa kan Masiixa ka geesta ah, waana kan dafira Aabbaha iyo Wiilkaba.

²³every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]

²³Ku alla kii Wiilka inkiraa, ma leh Aabbaha; laakiin kan Wiilka qirtaa Aabbuhuu leeyahay.

²⁴Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

²⁴Haddaba idinku waxaad tan iyo bilowgii maqlayseen ha idinku sii jiro. Haddii wixii aad tan iyo bilowgii maqlayseen idinku sii jiro, idinkuna waxaad ku sii jiri doontaan Wiilka iyo Aabbaha.

²⁵and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during.

²⁵Oo kanu waa ballankii uu inoogu ballanqaaday oo ah nolosha weligeed ah.

²⁶These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;

²⁶Waxaan idiin soo qoray waxyaalahan ku saabsan kuwa idin khiyaanaynaya.

²⁷and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

²⁷Subkidda aad ka hesheen isaga way idinku sii jirtaa; oo uma baahnidin in cidina wax idin barto; laakiin sida subkiddiisu wax walba idiin barto, oo ay run u tahay, beenna aanay u ahayn, waa inaad siday wax idiin bartay ugu sii jirtaan.

²⁸And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

²⁸Oo imminka, carruurtiiyey, ku sii jira isaga; in kolkuu muuqdo aynu kalsoonaan doonno oo aynaan wakhtiga imaatinkiisa ka xishoonin inaynu hor tagno.Haddaad og tihiin inuu xaq yahay, waxaad weliba ogaataan in mid walba oo xaqnimo falaa uu isaga ka dhashay.

²⁹if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.

²⁹Haddaad og tihiin inuu xaq yahay, waxaad weliba ogaataan in mid walba oo xaqnimo falaa uu isaga ka dhashay.
