1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Sok thaak an, Hewah ih seng timthan minchan hali! Heh minchan ah erathan rak seng ah Rangte sah ngeh jen poon thuk hali—eno amiimi di seng loong ah hesuh hesah langli. Neng loong ih seng ah tajat ri mamah liidih Rangte ah tajat rumka.
2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.
Nga mongnook joonte loong, seng ah belam Rangte suh asah, enoothong seng mamah angte angli erah amadi tuk ih tajatke. Enoothong seng ih ejat ehi Kristo raaha doh seng ah heh likhiik angte angli, mamah liidih heh ah mamah angta erah likhiikkhiik ih kaptup ih.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
Marah mina ih Kristo asuh laalom la erah mina ih Kristo saata likhik heh uh sa chamcham angtheng.
4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
Ngo dala erah ih Rangte hotthe thetsiit ha erah ah thila, mamah liidih hotthe thetsiit ha rah rangdah.
5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
Sen ih ejat ehan Kristo ra taha rah rangdah saahaat ra taha, eno heh di rangdah ah takah jeeka.
6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
Erah raang ih Kristo damdoh roong tongte loong ah rangdah laka dah theng; Enoothong marah mina daruh ela, erah mina ih heh ah mabah uh tah tupta nyia tajatta.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
Nga sah loong, ngo ih uh nak toom mokwaan han! Marah mina pun reela erah mina ah Kristo kateng angla likhiik heh uh kateng angla.
8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
Marah mina daruh ela erah mina ah Hakhoh juungbaan dabbi, mamah liidih Hakhoh juungbaan ih jaakhoh ni dook phang data. Rangte Sah ah erah thoi ih ra taha, marah Hakhoh juungbaan ih hoonta erah thet haat suh ra taha.
9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Marah mina Rangte suh asah angla erah rangdah daruh tah daka, timnge liidih Rangte dang ajang ah neng damdi; edoleh Rangte ah neng Wah, erah thoidi neng ih rangdah ah daruh tah erumka.
10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
Rangte suh asah nyia Hakhoh juungbaan suh asah loong ah maama ang rum ah: Marah mina ah lapun reeka nyia wahoh lah minchanka rah Rangte suh asah tah angka.
11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Jaakhoh ni chaattan jengkhaap ah arah: seng laktung nah minchan mui jaatjaat etheng.
12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.
Seng loong ah Keen likhiik nak angtheng; Heh ah Ethih Wah rah dakbi angthoi heh no Abel ah tek haatta. Keen ih heh ah tim suh tek haatta? Mamah liidih Keen reeraang ah ethih angta, eno heh no reeta ah epun angta.
13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Phoh ano loong mongrep dowa mina loong ih mok miksuk hanbah nak paatja an.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
Seng ih ejat ehi etek ah thinhaat eti eno ething roidong adi tongli; seng laktung ni minchan mui thaang ih arah jat hi. Marah mina ih phoh ano lah minchanka erah mina ah amadi uh etek chaan aphaan khui ni tong rumla.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. (aiōnios g166)
Marah mina ih hephoh heno miksuk ha erah mina ah mih tek haatte, eno sen ih ejat ehan mih tek haatte di lathoon roidong ah tajeeka ang ah. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Minchan jat hi rah amah: Kristo ih heh teeteewah roidong ah seng raangtaan ih kota, erah likhiikkhiik seng eh uh sengphoh sengno raangtaan ih thing tongtheng!
17 If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?
Seng changteng angli li ino sengphoh sengno ih timjih jamha erah etup ehi, ang abah uh neng suh tim uh takoke, erabah mamah ma jen chaang ih Rangte ah minchan ehang ngeh ah?
18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
Nga sah loong, seng dowa minchan ah jengkhaap luulu nyia tiitwaan luulu nah nak toom ang ah, erah nang ih amiisak minchan ah toom ang ah sengre sengraang nawa ih jen noisok theng toom ang ah.
19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:
Erah likhiikkhiik seng ah amiisak dabbi ngeh jat ih: seng loong Rangte ngathong nah rong tangtang jen ang ih.
20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
Sengthung sengtak ih seng loong mok dut haat heebah, seng ih ejat etheng sengthung sengtak nang ih Rangte ah elongthoon eno heh ih jirep roop jat ha.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
Erah raangtaan ih, mongnook joonte loong, sengthung sengtak ih seng asuh lamok damdak riibah, seng loong jinni tenchaan tenthun eje Rangte ngathong ni ah.
22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.
Marah suhi, erah heh jin nawa echoh eli, mamah liidih seng ih heh jengdang ah ekap ehi eno heh thung punjih ah ere eli.
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
Heh jengdang ah langla, seng ih Jisu Kristo suh hanpi ih nyia seng jaachi nah Kristo ih baat tahe likhiikkhiik minchan mui theng.
24 Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
Marah mina ih Rangte jengdang ah echaat eha erah mina ah heh damdi roong tongla, eno Rangte uh heh damdi roong tongla. Mamah liidih marah Rangte ih koh tahe Chiiala rah ih jatthuk hali, Rangte ah seng damdi roongtong hala.
