1 Johan 5
1 Jesuh tah Khrih ni tila aka tangnah boeih tah Pathen kah ca sak ni. Te dongah aka cun kung te aka lungnah boeih loh amah kah ca sak te khaw a lungnah.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves a parent loves his child.
2 He nen ni Pathen ca rhoek n'lungnah uh te m'ming uh. Pathen te n'lungnah uh tih amah kah olpaek te n'saii uh.
By this we know that we love God’s children – when we love God and carry out his commands.
3 Amah kah olpaek n'kuem uh te Pathen kah lungnah la om. A olpaek te khaw hnorhih la om pawh.
For to love God is to do what he commands and his commands are not a burden,
4 Pathen kah ca sak boeih loh Diklai a noeng coeng. Diklai aka noeng he ni noengnah la aka om he. Mamih kah tangnah tah te coeng ni.
for whatever is born of God overcomes the world. What is the victory by which the world is overcome? Our faith!
5 Te dongah Pathen Capa tah Jesuh ni tila aka tangnah mueh ah Diklai aka noeng ulae aka om?
Who can overcome the world but the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 Jesuh Khrih, amah he tah, tui neh thii lamloh aka lo la om. Tui bueng nen pawt tih tui nen khaw, thii nen khaw ha pawk. Mueihla tah oltak la a om dongah ol aka phong te khaw mueihla ni.
Jesus Christ, the one who came by water and blood – not by water only but by water and blood – and the Spirit testifies to this because the Spirit is truth.
7 Ba dongah, aka phong rhoek he pathum lo uh coeng ta.
Indeed three testify:
8 Mueihla loh, tui loh, thii loh, pathum te khaw pakhat la om uh ta.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and these three agree.
9 Hlang kah olphong te n'dang uh atah Pathen kah olphong tah a tanglue la om. Te Pathen kah olphong te a om dongah a capa kawng te a phong.
We accept human testimony, surely God’s testimony is even stronger! And God’s testimony is the testimony he has given about his Son.
10 Pathen Capa aka tangnah loh amah dongah laipai a khueh. Pathen aka tangnah pawt loh a capa kawng Pathen loh a phong nah olphong te a tangnah pawt dongah Amah te laithae la a khueh.
The person who believes in the Son of God has that testimony within them. The person who does not believe God has made God a liar, by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son.
11 Te dongah he ni laipai la aka om coeng. Pathen loh mamih taengah dungyan hingnah m'paek coeng tih te hingnah tah a capa dongah om. (aiōnios g166)
And this is that testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 Capa aka khueh loh hingnah a khueh. Pathen Capa aka khueh pawt loh hingnah khueh pawh.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever who doesn’t have God’s Son does not have life.
13 Pathen Capa kah ming aka tangnah rhoek loh dungyan hingnah na khueh uh te ming sak ham ni hekah he nangmih taengah kan daek. (aiōnios g166)
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of God’s Son, so that you may know that you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
14 Amah taengah n'khueh te sayalhnah la om coeng he. Te dongah a kongaih la khat khat m'bih uh atah mamih kah te a hnatun.
We can approach him with this confidence, that whenever we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he listens to us.
15 Mebang khaw mamih kah m'bih te a yaak tila m'ming uh atah, amah taengkah bihhoenah m'bih te n'dang uh tila m'ming.
And if we know he hears us – whatever we ask – we know also that what we ask for is ours.
16 Khat khat loh a manuca te a tholh a hmuh atah tholhnah he dueknah la a paan pawt ham bih pah saeh. Te daengah ni anih te hingnah a paek eh. Aka tholh rhoek te dueknah la paan pawt cakhaw dueknah la aka pha sak tholhnah om. Na bih ham ka thui te amah tholhnah ham moenih.
If anyone sees one of our people committing some sin that is not a sin leading to death, they should ask, and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that.
17 Boethae boeih he tholhnah ni. Tedae dueknah la aka paan puei pawh tholhnah om.
All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 Pathen kah ca sak boeih tah tholh pawh tila m'ming uh. Tedae Pathen kah ca sak tah amah loh a khoembael. Te dongah rhaithae loh anih te ben pawh.
We know that those who have been born of God do not keep sinning. God protects his children and the evil one cannot get hold of them.
19 Pathen kah a hut la n'om uh te m'ming uh. Tedae Diklai pum tah rhaithae kah hmuiah yalh.
We know that we are God’s children, though the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 Te dongah Pathen capa ha pawk te m'ming uh. Te vaengah oltak te ming sak ham mamih he kopoek m'paek coeng. Te dongah oltak neh a Capa Jesuh Khrih dongah n'om uh. Amah tah oltak Pathen neh dungyan hingnah la om. (aiōnios g166)
We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God – and we are in him who is true, by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 Oingaih rhoek, mueirhol taeng lamloh amah la ngaithuen uh.
My children, guard yourselves against false ideas of God.
