2 Johan 1
1 Upa pa in thutak sung ah ka it mama; keima bek hi ngawl in, thutak a he theampo in zong a it, tealtuam nupi nu le a tate tung ah;
I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;
Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)
3 Pa Pathian kung pan a hi zong, Pathian Tapa Jesus Christ kung pan a hi zong, thutak le itna sung ah hesuakna, thuthiamna le thinnopna te note tung ah om tahen.
May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.
4 Pa kung pan in i san thupiak te bang in na tate thutak sung ah nungta hi, ci ka mu ciang in ka lungdam mama hi.
It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.
5 Tu in na kung ah thupiak a thak bang in hong at ngawl khi hi, ahihang, upat tak nupi nu, a ki patcil pan i nei sa bang in eite khat le khat ki it tu in kong thum hi.
And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another.
6 A thupiak te zui in i nuntak na sia itna hi. Piansakna pan na zaksa uh bang in ta sung ma ah na nuntak tu uh thupiak a hihi.
And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.
7 Jesus Christ sia cilesa taw hongpai hi, ci a hil ngawl leilot ngual theam te hileitung ah tum zo hi. Hi te sia ngualtheam le Christ langpan te a hihi.
Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.
8 I sepna te bothong ngawl in, thaman a cing in i nga thei natu, noma le noma kikeam vun.
Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.
9 A kuamapo Christ i hilna sung ah kip ngawl in, a paikhial te in Pathian nei ngawl hi. Christ hilna sung ah a kho te in Pa le Tapa a ni ma in nei hi.
Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son.
10 Tua ki hil na a nei ngawl khatpo no kung ah hongpai a hile, na inn uh ah tungsak heak vun, Pathian min taw nukset in paupui heak vun:
If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:
11 Banghangziam cile ama sia Pathian min taw nukset in na paupui uh le thupha ngawl a vawt na ah a pawlpui suak tu nu hi.
For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works.
12 No kung ah kong at nop tam mama om lai napi, laina le laitui taw at ngawl tu khi hi: ahihang keima noma kung ah hongpai in, maitang kisi in ki paupui tu lamen khi hi, tabang in i lungdam na dim tu hi.
Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Tealtuam na suapui nu i tate in zong nangma nukset in hong paupui hi. Amen.
The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love.
