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

¹Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

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

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

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

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

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

⁴For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

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

⁵Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

⁶This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.

⁷ Ndaxte am na ñetti seede:

⁷For they that bear witness are three:

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

⁸the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.

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

⁹If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning 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.

¹⁰He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.

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

¹¹And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.

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

¹²He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.

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.

¹³These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God.

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

¹⁴And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.

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

¹⁵And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

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.

¹⁶If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request.

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

¹⁷Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death.

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.

¹⁸We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him.

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

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one].

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.

²⁰And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

²¹ Samay doom, wottuleen seen bopp ciy xërëm.

²¹Children, keep yourselves from idols.
