< 1 John 1 >
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.
Te tah a tongcuek lamkah aka om tih te te n'yaak uh. Te te mamih mik neh n'sawt uh coeng. Te te m'hmuh uh phoeiah mamih kut loh a phathuep hingnah Olka kawng ni.
2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. (aiōnios )
Hingnah long tah ha phoe ngawn coeng. Te vaengah dungyan hingnah te ka hmuh uh tih ka phong uh vanbangla nangmih taengah ka puen uh. Te tah pa taengah om tih mamih taengah ha phoe coeng. (aiōnios )
3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Te te ka hmuh uh tih ka yaak uh dongah ni nangmih taengah khaw ka puen uh. Te daengah ni nangmih khaw kaimih taengah rhoinaengnah, pa neh mamih, a capa Jesuh Khrih neh rhoinaengnah te khaw na khueh uh eh.
4 We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
Hekah he khaw kaimih kah omngaihnah soep sak ham ni kaimih loh ka daek uh.
5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
He kah olthang aka om he amah lamloh ka yaak uh tih nangmih taengah ka puen uh. Pathen tah vangnah la om tih a khuiah a hmuep om loengloeng pawh.
6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
Amah neh rhoinaengnah n'khueh uh tila n'thui uh tih yinnah khuiah m'pongpa uh atah n'laithae uh tih oltak n'saii moenih.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Tedae amah loh vangnah khuiah a om vanbangla vangnah khuiah m'pongpa uh atah, khat neh khat taengah rhoinaengnah ng'khueh uh. Te vaengah a capa Jesuh kah thii loh mamih he tholhnah cungkuem lamloh n'cilpoe coeng.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Tholhnah n'khueh uh moenih tila n'thui uh atah amah la n'rhaithi uh dongah oltak loh mamih khuiah om pawh.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Mamih kah tholhnah te m'phong uh atah amah khaw uepom la om tih a dueng dongah mamih kah tholhnah te a hlah tih boethae cungkuem lamkah mamih n'cilpoe.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Ka tholh uh pawh tila n'thui uh atah amah laithae m'pup uh tih a olka loh mamih khuiah om pawh.
