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 how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t 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. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
3 Te dongah amah soah hekah ngaiuepnah aka khueh boeih tah anih bangla amah ciim uh tih a cuem la om.
Everyone who has this hope set 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 sins also commits lawlessness. 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.
You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
6 Amah dongah aka naeh boeih tah tholh pawh. Aka tholh boeih loh amah te hmu pawt tih amah te ming pawh.
Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know 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 does 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 sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy 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.
Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born 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 the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love 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.
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should 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.
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Te phoeiah, manuca rhoek, Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet atah, na ngaihmang uh boeh.
Don’t be surprised, 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 know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love 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)
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal 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.
By this we know 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?
But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
18 Oingaih rhoek, ol ka bueng nen pawt tih khoboe neh oltak neh lungnah sih.
My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and 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 by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
20 Pathen tah mamih kah thinko lakah a tanglue la om tih cungkuem a ming.
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Thintlo rhoek, mamih kah thinko loh a coel pawt atah Pathen taengah sayalhnah n'khueh uh.
Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness towards 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.
so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
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.
This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded.
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 commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
