1 Johan 3
1 Pathian i tate, ci hong kisap thei natu in, Pa in eite tung ah hongpiak itna sia bangbang ziam, ci en vun: tua ahikom leitung mite in hong he bua uh hi, banghangziam cile amate in Pathian a he bua uh hi.
Behold then what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: though for this reason the world knoweth us not, because it knew not Him.
2 Ka it te awng, tu in eite sia Pathian ta i hihi, taciang, maisang bangbang i hi tu ziam, ci sia kilang ngawl lai hi: ahihang Ama hong kilang ciang in, eite zong Ama taw i kibang tu hi; banghangziam cile Ama sia ama hina bang in i mu tu hi, ci i he hi.
Beloved, we are now the children of God, but it doth not yet appear what we shall be: we know however, that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
3 Taciang Ama sung ah hi lametna a nei theampo in, Jesus Christ i thiantho bang in ama le ama ki thiangthosak hi.
And every one, that hath this hope in Him, purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
4 Akua mapo mawna a vawt peuma thukham paltan hi: banghangziam cile mawna i ci sia thukham paltan na a hihi.
Every one that committeth sin, transgresseth the law; for sin is the violation of the law.
5 Taciang Ama sia eite mawna te la tu in hong kilang hi, ci na he uh hi; taciang Ama sung ah mawna om ngawl hi.
And ye know that He was manifested, to take away our sins: and in Him there is no sin.
6 Akua mapo Ama sung ah a om paisuak peuma mawna vawt tawntung ngawl hi: mawna a vawt tawntung peuma Ama mu ngawl lai a, he zong he ngawl lai hi.
Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, nor known Him.
7 Tano te awng, kuama in hong theam heak tahen: Ama a thuman bangma in a thutang te in thutang suana vawt hi.
Little children, let no one deceive you: he that practiseth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous:
8 Mawna a vawt tawntung peuma doaimangpa neisa a hihi; banghangziam cile doaimangpa in a kipat pan in mawna vawt hi. Banghangziam cile doaimangpa nasep te siatsua tu sia, Pathian Tapa hong kilatna i tup le sawm a hihi.
he, that makes a practise of sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. And for this the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Akua mapo Pathian sung pan piang tate peuma mawna vawt tawntung ngawl hi; banghangziam cile Pathian i thaici sia ama sung ah om hi: taciang ama sia Pathian sung pan a piang ta ahikom mawna vawt tawntung ngawl hi.
Whosoever is born of God doth not practise sin, because his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 Pathian tate le doaimangpa tate hong kilang na sia hi thu pan a hihi: a kuamapo thutanna a vawt ngawl peuma le a suapui a it ngawl te sia Pathian neisa a hi bua uh hi.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doth not practise righteousness, and he who loveth not his brother, is not of God:
11 Banghangziam cile hi thu vaithak sia a kipat pan na zak uh hi a, tua thu sia eite khat le khat ki it tu a hihi.
for this is the injunction which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: not as Cain who was of the evil one, and slew his brother;
12 A nau a that mi ngilo Cain bang hi heak vun. Banghang in a nau that ziam? A nasepna te pha ngawl a, a nau i sep te a thuman hang a hihi.
and why did he slay him? because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Suapui te awng, leitung mite in hong ensan le lamdangsa heak vun.
Wonder not then, my brethren, if the world hate you:
14 Eite thina pan in nuntakna ah i kantan zo hi, ci sia i suapui te i it nataw i he hi. Suapui a it ngawl peuma sia thina sung ah omlai hi.
since we know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he, that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.
15 Akua mapo a suapui a ensan peuma tualthat a hihi: taciang tualthat te sung ah tawntung nuntakna om ngawl hi, ci na he uh hi. (aiōnios g166)
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Christ in eite atu a nuntakna hongpiak hu in Pathian itna i he hi: taciang eite zong i suapui te atu in i nuntakna i piak tu a hihi.
In this we know his love, that He laid down his life for us: and we should be ready to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 Ahihang a kuamapo leitung nate nei a, a suapui pa in kisapna nei hi, ci mu nginge napi hesuakna a nei bale, bangbang in ama sung ah Pathian itna om thei tu ziam?
But if any one, who hath the good things of the world, seeth his brother in want, and shutteth up his bowels from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 Ka tano te awng, kam le leii bek hi ngawl in; sepna le thuman taw ki it tawng.
My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth.
19 Tabang in i ki it le eite thuman taw i kizopna i he hi, taciang Pathian mai ah i thin hong kho tu hi.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.
20 Banghangziam cile i thinsung in hong mawsak le, Pathian sia i thinsung sang in lianzaw a, na theampo he hi.
For, if our heart condemn us, God is still greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Ka it te awng, eite i thinsung in hong mawsak bua ahile, Pathian sang ah thinmuanna i nei hi.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence towards God:
22 Taciang bangpo i ngen zong in, Pathian tung pan in i nga hi, banghangziam cile a thupiak te i zui hu le Ama mai ah a lungkim nate i sep hang a hihi.
and whatsoever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Pathian thupiak sia, a Tapa Jesus Christ min up tu le, Ama in thu hongpiaksa bang in khat le khat ki it tu thu a hihi.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He hath given us a charge to do.
24 Pathian thupiak te a keamcing peuma sia Ama sung ah om a, ama zong Pathian sung ah om hi. Pathian i hongpiak Thaa hang in, eite sung ah Ama hong om hi, ci i he hi.
And he, that keepeth his commandments, abideth in Him, and He in him: and hereby we know that He abideth in us, even by the Spirit which He hath given us.
