< 1 Johan 2 >
1 Ka lungnaak ka cakhqi, am nami thawlhnaak aham ve ak ca ve qee law nyng. Cehlai u ingawm thawlhnaak ce a sai palh awhtaw, ningnih ang zyng na ningnih aham Pa a venawh awi ak kqawnkung ce ni ta uhy - anih cetaw Jesu Khrih, Thlak dyng ceni.
My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
2 Anih cetaw ningnih a thawlh awh tlang na lucik na pe qu hy, ningnih aham doeng am nawh khawmdek pum awhkaw thawlh aham na awm awm hy.
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 Ak awipeek ce ning ngai uh awhtaw amah ce ni sim hawh uhy tice ni sim uhy.
And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Anih ce sim nyng, thlang ing ti hlai hy, ak awipeek ce amak sai taw qaai ak kqawn thlang ni, anih awh awitak am awm hy.
He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 Cehlai u ingawm ak awi ce nang ngai awhtaw, Khawsa lungnaak ce anih awh ak soep na awm kaw. Amah awh ni awm uhy ti simnaak taw veni.
But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.
6 U awm anih awh hqing nyng ak ti ingtaw Jesu amyihna a ceh aham awm hy.
He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.
7 Ka lungnaak pyikhqi, awipeek ak thai am qee law nyng, ak cykca awhkaw nami taak ak kqym ceni ka qee law. Cawhkaw awipeek cetaw nangmih ing naming zaak ce ni.
Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.
8 Cehlai kai ing awipeek thai qee law nyng; cawhkaw awitak ce anih ingkaw nangmih awh ni hu hy, than khaw ce khum nawh dainaak tang tang ce vang hawh hy.
Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.
9 U awm vangnaak ak khuiawh awm hawh nyng ti hlai hy a koeinaa ce a sawhnaak awhtaw anih ce thannaak khuiawh ni a awm hyn.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 U awm a koeinaa ak lungnaak thlang taw vangnaak khui awhkaw thlang na awm hy, cedawngawh anih ce ikaw ingawm am tluk sak thai hy.
He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.
11 Cehlai u awm a koeinaa ak sawhnaak ak thlang taw than khuiawh ak van thlang na awm hy; hanaa ka ceh ti awm amak sim ak thlang ni, thannaak ing a mik ce hyp sak hawh hy.
But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 Ka lungnaak ka cakhqi, ang ming ak caming nangmih a thawlhnaak ak khanawh qeenkhaw ngai na a awm hawh dawngawh, ca qee law nyng.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Pakhqi, ak cyk ca awhkawng ak awm anih ce nami sim hawh a dawngawh ca qee law nyng. Cadawngkhqi, thlak che ce noeng hawh u tiksaw ca qee law nyng. Naasenkhqi, Pa ce nami sim hawh a dawngawh, ca qee law nyng.
I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
14 Pakhqi, ak cyk ca awhkawng ak awm anih ce nami sim hawh a dawngawh ca qee law nyng. Cadawngkhqi, nangmih taw na mik tha awm nawh, nangmih ak khuiawh Khawsak awi a awm a dawngawh, thlak che ce noeng uhyk ti, cedawngawh nangmih aham ca qee law nyng.
I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Khawmdek ingkaw ak khuiawh ak awm ik-oeihkhqi ve koeh lung na. U ingawm khawmdek ve a lungnaak awhtaw Pa a lungnaak ce anih ak khuiawh am awm hy.
Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 Ikawtih, khawmdek awh ak awm them boeih - thlak thawlh a nainaak, a mik ing hy ngaihnaak, a taak them ingkaw sainaak awh oek qunaak khqi - vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ve Pa a ven nakawng ak law amni, khawmdek awhkawng ni a law.
For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Khawmdek ingkaw khawmdek a ngaihnaakkhqi boeih taw khum seiawm, Khawsa kawngaih ak sai ak thlang taw kumqui dy hqing kaw. (aiōn )
And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. (aiōn )
18 Ka lungnaak naasenkhqi, a tym a dytnaak ben hawh ni, Khrih a qaalkhqi law kawm uh tice naming zaak hawh amyihna, tuh zani Khrih a qaalkhqi ce law hawh uhy. Ce a dawngawh tuh ve a tym a dyt naak ben hawh ni ti sim uhyk ti.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour.
19 Ningmih a ven awhkawng cawn uhy, cehlai ningnih ak thlang na am awm qoe uhy. Ningmih ak thlang na ami awm mantaw, ningnih a venawh awm poe kawm uh, cehlai aming cawn a dawngawh pynoet awm ningnih ak thlang am ni tice dang hawh hy.
They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us.
20 Cehlai nangmih taw thlakciim a ven nakaw situi hluk nani nami awm, cedawngawh nangmih boeih ing awitak ce sim uhyk ti.
But you have the unction from the Holy One, and know all things.
21 Awitak am nami sim a dawngawh ve ak ca am qee law nyng, cehlai awitak ce nami sim a dawngawh qaai pynoet awm awitak awhkawng am law hy.
I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth.
22 U nu qaai ak kqawn? Jesu ve Khrih amni tinawh ak oelh ak thlang ce ni. Cemyih ak thlang ce Khrih a qaal na awm hy - anih ing Pa ingkaw Capa ce oelh qawi bawk hy.
Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father, and the Son.
23 U awm Capa ak oelh taw Pa ce am ta hy; cakpa ce ak do taw Pa awm ak do ak thlang na awm hy.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.
24 Ak cyk ca awh naming zaak ce nami taaknaak poe aham ngaihta lah uh. Nami taak poe awhtaw Cakpa ingkaw Pa awh nangmih ce awm poe kawm uk ti.
As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
25 Ningmih a venawh a taak law awi taw veni - kumqui hqingnaak ve. (aiōnios )
And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting. (aiōnios )
26 Nangmih lam palh sak aham tha amik lokhqi akawng ce tuh qee law nyng.
These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you.
27 Nangmih taw a venawh kawng nami huh situi hluknaak ce a awm phat a dawngawh, thlang a cawngpyinaak ce am ngoe voel uhyk ti. Cehlai amah a situi hluknaak ing ik-oeih akawng boeih ce a ni cawngpyi khqi amyihna, amah awh awm poe lah uh.
And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.
28 Tuh ka lungnaak naasenkhqi, amah awh awm poe lah uh, cawh ni amah ang dang law awh ning ngai qep kawmsaw alaw law awh am nik chah hly.
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming.
29 Anih ce thlak dyng ni tice nami sim awhtaw u awm ik-oeih ak dyng ak saikhqi boeih taw anih a cahlah ni tice sim uhyk ti.
If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.
