< 1 Johan 1 >
1 A kipat pan in i zak, i mit taw i mu, i et le i khut taw i tham, nuntakna Thu;
It is of what has existed from the beginning, of what we have listened to, of what we have seen with our own eyes, of what we have witnessed and touched with our own heads, it is concerning the Logos of Life that we are now writing.
2 Tua nuntakna sia hong kilang zo a, kote in ka mu uh hi, taciang tettipang in tua nuntakna thu kong lak uh hi, taciang kote tung ah hong kilang zo hi; (aiōnios )
And the Life was made visible, and we have seen it and are bearing witness, and are bringing you word of that Eternal Life which was face to face with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios )
3 Kote Pa le a Tapa Jesus Christ taw a kipawl takpi te ka hi uhkom in, note zong kote taw ki pawlkhopna nei tu in: ka mu uh le ka zak uh te sia note tung ah kong pualak uh hi.
It is what we have seen and heard that we are announcing to you, in order that you also may have partnership with us; and our partnership is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 Na lungdamna uh a pawlcin thei natu in, hi thu te note tung ah kong at uh hi.
And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
5 Hi thu sia Ama kung pan ka zak uh thu hi a, note kung ah kong pualak zo uh hi, Pathian sia khuavak a hihi, taciang Ama sung ah khuazing om ngawl hi.
This, then, is the message that we have heard from him, and are announcing to you, that God is light, and no darkness what ever is in him.
6 Ama taw ki pawlkhopna ka nei uh hi, ci napi, khuazing sung ah i nungta lai le, thuman taw nungta ngawl in, leilot thu son i hihi:
If we say, "We have partnership with Him," when we are passing our life in the darkness, we are lying and are not doing the truth.
7 Ahihang Ama sia khuavak sung ah a om bang in, eite zong khuavak sung ah i nungta ahile, khat le khat ki pawlkhopna nei a, a Tapa Jesus Christ thisan in i mawna theampo pan hong thiangsak hi.
But is we are passing our life in the light, as he is in the light, we ever have partnership with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ is cleansing us from every sin.
8 Mawna ka nei bua hi, i cile, eima le eima a ki theam i hihi, taciang eite sung ah thuman a om bua hi.
If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 Eite i mawna i pualak le, i mawna te ki maisak tu le thuman ngawlna theampo pan thiangsak tu in, Ama sia thuman in thutang hi.
But if we confess our sins, faithful is he and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wrong-doing.
10 Mawna ka vawt bua hi i cile, Pathian sia leilot thu son i suaksak hi, taciang a Thu sia eite sung ah a om bua hi.
If we say, "We have not sinned," we are making him a liar, and his word is not in us.
