1 Jawhan 3
1 Cathut e canaw telah kaw e lah o awh nahanelah, Cathut ni maimouh banghloimaw lungpataw awh, tie hah pouk a haw! Talai taminaw ni Cathut hah a panue awh hoeh dawkvah, maimouh hai na panuek awh hoeh.
BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Ka lungpataw e naw: atuvah maimouh teh Cathut e ca lah o awh. Ato hmalah teh bangtelamaw o awh han tie hah kamnuek hoeh rah. Hatei Bawipa Jisuh ama a kamnue toteh, ama hoi kâvan awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa ama a coung e patetlah hmu awh han.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 Hottelah, ka ngaihawi e tami teh Bawipa a thoung e patetlah amahoima a kamthoung.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Yonnae ka sak e tami teh kâlawk a ek. Sak payonnae teh kâlawk eknae doeh.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 Bawipa ni maimae yonnae pueng ceikhai hanelah a tho toe tie hah na panue awh. Bawipa dawk yonnae awm hoeh.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Bawipa dawk kahring e tami teh, yonnae pou sak hoeh. Yonnae pou ka sak e tami teh, Bawipa hah hmawt hoeh rah.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Ka canaw: apihai kâdum sak awh hanh. Apihai lannae nuen ka tarawi e teh Bawipa a lan e patetlah a lan.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Kahraimathout teh ahmaloe hoi yonnae ka sak e lah ao dawkvah, apipatet hai yonnae ka sak e teh kahraimathout hoi a kâkuet. Cathut Capa a tho ngainae teh kahraimathout thaw tawk raphoe pouh hane doeh.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Cathut ni a khe e tami teh, yonnae pou sak hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni dawk Cathut e cati a o. Ahni teh, Cathut ni a khe e lah ao dawkvah, yonnae pou sak thai hoeh.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 Hot patetlah e noutnae lahoi yah, Cathut e a canaw hoi kahraimathout e a canaw teh a kamnue awh. Lannae ka tarawi hoeh e, mae hmaunawngha lungpataw hoeh e teh, Cathut hoi kâkuen hoeh.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 Nangmouh ni hmaloe hoi na thai a tangcoung e kamthang kahawi hateh, buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpataw awh han tie hah doeh.
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Kahrai hoi kâkuen niteh a nawngha ka thet e Kain patetlah awm hanh awh. Kain ni bangkongmaw a nawngha a thei tetpawiteh, amae tawksak e teh lan hoeh, a nawngha e tawksak e teh a lan dawk doeh.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Hmaunawngha naw: talaivan taminaw ni na ka hmawt ngaihoeh nakunghai, na kângairu awh hanh.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 Maimouh teh hmaunawngha reira lungkâpataw awh dawkvah, duenae koehoi hringnae koe lah, raka awh toe tie kâpanue awh. Ma e hmaunawngha lungpataw hoeh e tami teh, duenae dawk doeh a hring rah.
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Ma e hmaunawngha lung ka pataw hoeh e tami teh, tami ka thet e lah doeh ao. Tami ka thet e tami buet touh dawk boehai, a yungyoe hringnae awmhoeh tie hah nangmouh ni na panue awh. (aiōnios g166)
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Khrih ni maimouh hane kecu dawk, a hringnae a pasoung e khet navah, a lungpatawnae hah panue awh. Maimouh ni hai hmaunawngha reira hanelah, hringnae pasoung hanlah ao.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 Apipatethai talaivan hnopai a tawn nahlangva vah, a hmaunawngha a roedeng e hah a hmu ei, paawt pawiteh, ahni dawk Cathut lungpatawnae bangtelamaw khuet ao han vaw.
But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 Canaw: maimouh teh lawk hrawng hoi dueng laipalah, tawksaknae hoi lawkkatang lahoi lungpataw awh sei.
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 Hottelah lungpataw awh pawiteh, lawkkatang hoi kâkuet awh toe tie hah na panuek awh vaiteh, mamae lung ni yon na kapen nakunghai, Cathut hmalah lungtangnae ao sak han.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 Cathut teh maimae lung hlak a len dawkvah, hnocawngca pueng a panue.
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Ka lungpataw e naw: mae lung ni yon na pen awh hoehpawiteh, Cathut hmalah taranhawinae teh tawn awh toe.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 Maimouh ni kâpoelawknaw ngâi awh teh, a ngai e patetlah tarawi awh pawiteh, ratoum awh e pueng Cathut koehoi hmu awh han.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Cathut e kâpoelawk tie hateh Capa Jisuh Khrih min yuem han tie hoi ahni ni na dei pouh e patetlah buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpataw awh han tie hah doeh.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 Kâpoelawknaw ka tarawi e tami teh, Cathut thung ao teh, ahnimouh thung Cathut ao. Maimouh koe na poe e Kathoung Muitha lahoi, Cathut teh maimouh dawk ao tie panue awh.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
