< 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, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
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 atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Ak awipeek ce ning ngai uh awhtaw amah ce ni sim hawh uhy tice ni sim uhy.
This is how we know that we know 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.
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep 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 whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how 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 who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like 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.
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you 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, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
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 who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the 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 who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling 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 who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has 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 to 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 am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
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 have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil 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.
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love 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, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 Khawmdek ingkaw khawmdek a ngaihnaakkhqi boeih taw khum seiawm, Khawsa kawngaih ak sai ak thlang taw kumqui dy hqing kaw. (aiōn )
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (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, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final 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 did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to 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 an anointing from the Holy One, and you 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 because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because 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 the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies 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.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has 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 remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
25 Ningmih a venawh a taak law awi taw veni - kumqui hqingnaak ve. (aiōnios )
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios )
26 Nangmih lam palh sak aham tha amik lokhqi akawng ce tuh qee law nyng.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
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.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain 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.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before 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 righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
