1 John 2
1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
Ka tate awng, mawna na vawt ngawl natu uh in, hi thu te at in kong thak hi. Mi khatpo in mawna a vawt le, Pa kung ah hong thuumsak tu a thutang Jesus Christ i nei hi:
2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Ama sia eite bek dom ngawl, leitungbup i mawna theampo atu in Pathian thin-ukna a dapsak pa a hihi.
3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
Ama i he hi, ci thu sia, a thupiak te i zui na tungtawn in i telthiang hi.
4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Ama ka he hi, ci napi, a thupiak te a zui ngawl peuma, leilot hi, taciang a sung ah thuman a om bua hi.
5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:
Ahihang a kuamapo a Thu a keamcing peuma sia, ama sung ah Pathian itna pawlcing takpi hi: tabang in eite in Ama sung ah i om hi, ci sia i he hi.
6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
Jesus sung ah ka om nginge hi, a ci peuma sia Ama nuntakzia bang in a nuntak kul hi.
7 Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.
Suapui te awng, note tung ah thupiak a thak hong at ngawl khi hi, ahihang a kipatcil pan na neisa uh thupiak lui a hihi. Thupiak a lui sia a kipatcil pan na zaksa uh thu a hihi.
8 Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
Note tung ah thupiak a thak kong at kik hi, tua thu sia Ama le note sung ah a maan a hihi: banghangziam cile khuazing bo a, khuavak tatak sia tu in hong tang hi.
9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
Khuavak sung ah ka om hi, ci napi, a suapui a ensan peuma, tu dong in khuazing sung ah omlai hi.
10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
Ama suapui a it peuma sia khuavak sung ah om hi, taciang ama sung ah puna om ngawl hi.
11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Ahihang a suapui a ensan peuma khuazing sung ah om in nungta hi, taciang a paina mun zong a he bua hi, banghangziam cile khuazing in a mitte tawsak siat hi.
12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.
Tano te awng, na mawna uh te Ama min taw hong ki maisak sa ahikom note tung ah lai kong at hi.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
Pa te awng, a kipatcil pan in Ama he na hi uhkom in, note tung ah lai kong at hi. Khangno te awng, ngilopa na zaw uh hu in note tung ah lai kong at hi. tano te awng, Pa na heak uh hu in note tung ah lai kong at hi.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Pa te awng, a kipat pan in Ama he na hi uhkom in, note tung ah lai kong at hi. Khangno te na thahat uh a, note sung ah Pathian Thu a om hu in, mi ngilopa a zo na hi uh hi, tua ahikom note tung ah lai kong at hi.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Leitung le a sung a om nate it heak vun. Akua mapo in leitung a it le, ama sung ah pa itna om ngawl hi.
16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
Banghangziam cile leitung ah a om na theampo, cilesa deina, mit taw iplakna le nuntakna i kiphatsakna te sia Pa i neisa hi ngawl a, leitung i neisa a hihi.
17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Leitung le a iplakna te bosiat hi: ahihang Pathian deina a vawt peuma a tawntung in kip hi. (aiōn g165)
18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.
Tano te awng, hi sia hun tawpkhak a hihi: na zak uh sa bang in, Christ ngalpa hongpai tu hi, tu zong Christ ngalte tam mama om zo hi; tua ahikom eite in hi sia in hun tawpkhakbel a hihi, ci sia i he hi.
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.
Amate sia eite kung pan pusuak uh hi, ahihang amate sia eima mihing hi ngawl hi; banghangziam cile eima mihing te hile, eite taw hong om paisuak tu hi, ci uplak natu om ngawl hi: ahihang amate a pusua hu in, eima mihing te hi nawn ngawl hi, ci kilangsak hi.
20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
Ahihang note sia a Thiangtho Pa i sathau buakna na san uh hu in, na theampo na he uh hi.
21 I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
Thuman na heak ngawl uh hu in note tung ah lai hong at ka hi bua hi, ahihang na heak uh hu le, leilot thu te sia thuman sung ah ki hel ngawl ahikom, kong at a hihi.
22 Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
Jesus sia Christ a hihi, ci thu a nial te simngawl akua leilot thu son om ziam? Ama sia Christ i ngalpa hi a, Pa le Tapa zong nial hi.
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Akua mapo Tapa a nial peuma Pa nei ngawl hi: ahihang Tapa a sang peuma Pa zong nei hi.
24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
Tua ahikom a kipatcil pan in na zak uh thu sia note sung ah hong om tawntung tahen. A kipatcil pan na zak uh thu note sung ah om tawntung ahile, note sia Tapa le Pa sung ah a tawntung in na om tu uh hi.
Taciang hi thu sia Ama in hong ciamsa kamciam hi a, nuntak tawntung na hong ciam hi. (aiōnios g166)
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
Hi thu te note kung ah kong at na sia note hong theam te thu a hihi.
27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
Ahihang Ama kung pan na san uh sathau buak na sia note sung ah om tawntung hi, taciang kuama i hil na kul bua uh hi: ahihang tua sathau buakna in na theampo hong hil hi, taciang hi thu sia thuman hi a, leilot thu hi ngawl hi, note hong hil bangma in Ama sung ah, kip tavun.
28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
Tu in tano te awng, Ama hong kilang ciang in, muanna i nei thei natu le Ama hongpai ciang in a mai ah i maizum ngawl natu in, Ama sung ah kip in om vun.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Ama sia thuman hi, ci na he uh le, thutang suana a vawt te theampo sia Ama sung pan a piang a hi uh hi, ci na he uh hi.
