1 Yooxanaa 3
1 Bal 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 lavished on us: he lets us be called God’s children! For that is what we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it has not learned to know him.
2 Gacaliyayaalow, 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, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is that, when it is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
3 Oo mid kasta oo waxyaalahaas ka rajeeyaa isaga, naftiisuu daahiriyaa siduu isaguba daahir u yahay.
And just as he is pure, everyone who has this hope, makes and keeps themselves pure.
4 Kii kasta oo dembi falaa wuxuu falaa caasinimo; oo dembigu wuxuu yahay caasinimo.
Everyone who lives sinfully is living in violation of God’s law. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Oo idinku waad og tihiin in isagu u muuqday inuu dembiyadeenna inaga qaado, oo isagu dembi ma leh.
You know that Christ appeared to take away our sins and that there is no sin in him.
6 Ku alla kii isaga ku sii jiraa, ma dembaabo; ku alla kii dembaabaa ma uu arkin isaga, oo weliba ma yaqaan isaga.
No one who lives in him continues to sin; the sinner has not seen or known him.
7 Carruurtiiyey, yaan cidi idin khiyaanayn; kii xaqnimo falaa waa xaq siduu isaguba xaq u yahay.
My children, don’t let anyone mislead you. The person who does what is right is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
8 Kii 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 lives in sin is a child of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To undo the devil’s work is the reason the Son of God appeared.
9 Ku 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 child of God sins, because God’s nature dwells in them. They can’t live in sin, because they are God’s children.
10 Tan 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.
By this it is made clear who are the children of God and who are the devil’s: anyone who doesn’t do what is right or doesn’t love others is not a child of God.
11 Oo kanu waa warkii aad tan iyo bilowgii maqlayseen, kaasoo ah inaynu isjeclaanno,
For this is the message we heard from the beginning: we are to love one another.
12 oo 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.
We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his actions were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
13 Walaalayaalow, ha la yaabina haddii ay dunidu idin neceb tahay.
Do not be suprised, friends, if the world hates you.
14 Waxaynu 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 that we have passed out of death into life, because we love each other. The person who does not love remains in a state of death.
15 Ku alla kii walaalkii neceb waa dhiigqabe, oo idinkuna waad og tihiin inaanu dhiigqabena lahayn nolosha weligeed ah oo ku sii jiraysa. (aiōnios g166)
The person who hates another is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life dwelling within them. (aiōnios g166)
16 Taasaynu jacaylka ku garanaynaa, waayo, isagu naftiisuu u bixiyey aawadeen; oo innaguna waa inaynu nafteenna u bixinno walaalaheen.
This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. So we should lay down our own lives for each other.
17 Laakiin kan leh xoolaha dunidan, oo arka walaalkiis oo baahan, oo qalbigiisa ka xidha, sidee baa jacaylka Ilaah ugu jiraa isaga?
If anyone has material possessions, and sees one of our own in need, but closes their heart against that person, how can it be said that the love of God is within them?
18 Carruurtaydiiyey, yeynan ku jeclaanin hadalka iyo afka toona, laakiin camalka iyo runta aan ku jeclaanno.
My children, our love must not be mere words or talk. It must be true and show itself in actions.
19 Oo taasaynu ku garan doonnaa inaynu kuwa runta nahay, oo aynu isaga hortiisa qalbigeenna kaga dhiiro gelin doonnaa
This is how we will know we belong to the truth and reassure ourselves in God’s presence:
20 xagga wax alla wixii qalbigeennu inagu eedeeyo, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah waa ka weyn yahay qalbigeenna, oo wax walbaba wuu og yahay.
though our conscience condemns us, God is greater than our conscience and knows everything.
21 Gacaliyayaalow, haddii aan qalbigeennu ina eedayn, kalsoonaan ayaynu ku leennahay xagga Ilaah.
Dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us, then we approach God with confidence,
22 Oo wax kastoo aynu ka barinno waynu ka helnaa, maxaa yeelay, qaynuunnadiisa ayaynu xajinnaa, oo waxaynu falnaa waxa isaga ka farxiya.
and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we are keeping his commands, and are doing what pleases him.
23 Oo kanu waa qaynuunkiisa, kaasoo ah inaynu rumaysanno magaca Wiilkiisa Ciise Masiix ah, oo aynu isjeclaanno, siduu qaynuunka inoo siiyey.
His command is that we should believe in his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as Christ commanded us.
24 Oo 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 keeps his commands dwells in God and God dwells in them. And we are sure he lives in us because of the Spirit he has given us.
