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;
The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not only I, but also all who know the truth—
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (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.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and 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.
I was overjoyed to find some of yoʋr children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded 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 I ask yoʋ, dear lady—not as writing yoʋ a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love 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.
Now this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard it from the beginning, that you should walk in 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.
For many deceivers have come into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 I sepna te bothong ngawl in, thaman a cing in i nga thei natu, noma le noma kikeam vun.
Watch yourselves, so that we do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a 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.
Everyone who transgresses and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching of Christ has both 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 and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not greet him;
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 whoever greets him takes 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.
Although I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be full.
13 Tealtuam na suapui nu i tate in zong nangma nukset in hong paupui hi. Amen.
The children of yoʋr chosen sister greet yoʋ. Amen.
