1 Johan 3
1 Pathen kah a ca rhoek la khue ham pa loh mamih taengah m'paek lungnah te so uh. Te dongah ni mamih n'om uh. Te dongah he Diklai loh Boeipa a ming pawt dongah mamih khaw m'ming pawh.
See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 Thintlo rhoek, Pathen kah a ca rhoek la n'om uh coeng. Tedae metla n'om uh ham khaw phoe hlan. Amah a om vanbangla m'hmuh uh ham dongah a phoe vaengah amah phek la n'om uh ni tila m'ming uh.
Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
3 Te dongah amah soah hekah ngaiuepnah aka khueh boeih tah anih bangla amah ciim uh tih a cuem la om.
and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
4 Tholhnah aka saii loh olaeknah khaw boeih a saii tih, tholhnah tah olaeknah la poeh.
Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
5 Te dongah amah a phoe te na ming daengah ni tholhnah te amah loh ham phueih eh. Tedae amah ah tholhnah a om moenih.
and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
6 Amah dongah aka naeh boeih tah tholh pawh. Aka tholh boeih loh amah te hmu pawt tih amah te ming pawh.
everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
7 Oingaih rhoek, nangmih te n'rhaithi boel saeh. Duengnah aka saii tah a dueng la om. Boeipa amah bangla a dueng la om.
Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
8 Tholhnah aka saii tah rhaithae kah hlang ni. Rhaithae tah a tongcuek lamloh tholh coeng. Te dongah rhaithae kah bibi te phae ham Pathen Capa ha phoe.
he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
9 Pathen kah ca sak boeih tah tholhnah a saii moenih. Boeipa kah a tiingan loh anih ah naeh tih tholh thai pawh. Pathen kah a ca sak la om coeng.
everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
10 Hekah nen he Pathen kah a ca la aka om neh rhaithae kah a ca rhoek tah mingpha coeng. Duengnah aka saii pawt boeih tah Pathen kah a hut la om pawh. Te long te a manuca a lungnah moenih.
In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
11 Te dongah, khat neh khat lungnah uh thae sih tila olthang aka om he tah a tongcuek lamkah na yaak uh coeng.
because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
12 Rhaithae kah la om tih a manuca aka ngawn Kain bang boel saeh. Te vaengah balae tih anih te a ngawn? A khoboe tah rhaithae la om pai. Tedae a manuca kah khoboe tah dueng ta.
not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
13 Te phoeiah, manuca rhoek, Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet atah, na ngaihmang uh boeh.
Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
14 Mamih loh Manuca te n'lungnah uh dongah dueknah lamloh hingnah khuila n'thoeih uh te m'ming uh. Aka lungnah pawt tah dueknah dongah ni a naeh pueng.
we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
15 A manuca aka hmuhuet boeih tah hlang aka ngawn la om. Hlang aka ngawn boeih tah a khuiah dungyan hingnah naeh pawt tih khueh pawh tila na ming uh. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
16 Amah loh mamih ham a hinglu te a voeih dongah, te nen te, lungnah m'ming uh. Mamih khaw manuca rhoek yueng la hinglu voeih ham a kuek.
in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
17 Khat khat loh Diklai kah khosaknah he a khueh coeng. Tedae a manuca kah a ngoe te a hmuh lalah anih lamkah a kotak te bing koinih Pathen kah lungnah loh a khuiah metlam a naeh eh?
and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
18 Oingaih rhoek, ol ka bueng nen pawt tih khoboe neh oltak neh lungnah sih.
My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
19 He nen ni, oltak kah la n'om uh te khaw m'ming uh vetih, mamih kah thinko te coel cakhaw amah hmaiah mamih kah thinko te m'pangtung bitni.
And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
20 Pathen tah mamih kah thinko lakah a tanglue la om tih cungkuem a ming.
because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
21 Thintlo rhoek, mamih kah thinko loh a coel pawt atah Pathen taengah sayalhnah n'khueh uh.
Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
22 Te dongah m'bih uh boeih te amah lamkah n'dang uh. A olpaek te n'kuem uh tih a hmaiah a kolo te n'saii uh.
and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
23 A olpaek tah om ngawn he. Te dongah mamih taengah m'paek olpaek vanbangla, a capa Jesuh Khrih ming n'tangnah uh tih khat neh khat lungnah sih.
and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
24 Te dongah, a olpaek aka kuem tah Amah dongah naeh tih anih dongah Boeipa naeh van. He nen ni mamih ah a naeh te m'ming uh. Te te mueihla nen ni mamih taengah m'paek.
and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
