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 great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.
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.
My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for 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 has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.
4 Tholhnah aka saii loh olaeknah khaw boeih a saii tih, tholhnah tah olaeknah la poeh.
Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.
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 knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.
6 Amah dongah aka naeh boeih tah tholh pawh. Aka tholh boeih loh amah te hmu pawt tih amah te ming pawh.
Anyone who is in him does no sin; anyone who is a sinner has not seen him and has no knowledge of 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.
My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;
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.
The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.
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.
Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.
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 way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.
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 word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for 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 being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.
13 Te phoeiah, manuca rhoek, Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet atah, na ngaihmang uh boeh.
Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world has no love for 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 are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still 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)
Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life 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 see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give 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?
But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?
18 Oingaih rhoek, ol ka bueng nen pawt tih khoboe neh oltak neh lungnah sih.
My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.
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.
In this way we may be certain that we are true, and may give our heart comfort before him,
20 Pathen tah mamih kah thinko lakah a tanglue la om tih cungkuem a ming.
When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.
21 Thintlo rhoek, mamih kah thinko loh a coel pawt atah Pathen taengah sayalhnah n'khueh uh.
My loved ones, if our heart does not say that we have done wrong, we have no fear before him;
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 he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.
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 law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said 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.
He who keeps his laws is in God and God is in him. And the Spirit which he gave us is our witness that he is in us.
