1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him.
Pa naw ihlawka a jah mhläkphyanak cun ksing ua. A mhläkphyanak dämda se Pamhnama caa mi ngsuiki, akcanga Mhnama caa mi kyaki. Acunakyase ni, khawmdek naw mimi am jah ksing u, Pamhnam pi am ksing u.
2 Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.
Ka püi he aw, Pamhnama caa mi kyaki he ni. Tuha ia mi kya law khai ti cun am ngsing ham ve. Cunüngpi Khritaw a law bea kcün üng, ania mäih mi law khai ti mi ksingki. Isenitiüng, Jesuha a kyaka mäih kunga mi hmu acun he ni.
3 And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.
Ahina äpeinak Khritaw üng taki naküt naw, Khritaw a ngcingcaiha mäiha, amät naw amät ngcingcaiheisaki ni.
4 Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity.
Mkhyekatki naküt cun naw Pamhnama thum lümkanki ni. Isenitiüng, mkhyenak cun thum lümkannak ni.
5 And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.
Khritaw cun naw mi mkhyekatnak naküt cehpüi khai lawki ni tia nami ksingki. Khritaw üng a mkhyekatnak am veki.
6 Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.
Acunakyase, Khritaw üng xüngseiki naküt naw mkhyenak am pawh be ti. Mkhyenak pawh hamkia khyang naw Khritaw am hmu khawi lü am ksing khawiki ni.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.
Ka canae aw, u naw pi käh ning jah mhleimhlak se. Akdaw pawhkia khyang cun Khritaw a ngsungpyuna kba ngsungpyunnaki ni.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Mkhyenak pawh läkia khyang ta Khawyai üng sängeikia kyaki. Khawyai cun naw khawmdeka ngtüi üngkhyüh mkhyenak pawhki. Khawyaia pawhmsah naküt cun mkhyüh khaia Pamhnama Capa lawki ni.
9 Whosoever is born of God, committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him, and he can not sin, because he is born of God.
Pamhnama canae naw ta mkhyenak am pawh u. Isenitiüng, Pamhnama ngnei cun ami k’uma xüngki. Pamhnam cun ami Paa kyase mkhyenak am pawh be thei ti u.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.
Pamhnama cana ja Khawyaia cana cun hngaki xawi ni: akdaw am pawhkia khyang, a bena am mhläkphyanakia khyang cun Pamhnama canaa am kya.
11 For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.
Khawmdeka ngtüi üngkhyüh na ngjaka ngthu ta: mat ja mat mhläkphyana yah khai.
12 Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. And wherefore did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked: and his brother’s just.
Kaihnah käh mi khang vai u. A ngnei se lü Khawyaipa üng sängei lü, a na Apyelah hnimki ni. Ise Kaihnah naw a na a hnim ni? Amäta bilawhe cun khye lü Apyelaha bilawhe cun cangkia kyase, a hnim ni.
13 Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.
Ka benae aw, khawmdek khyange naw ami ning hneng üng käh müncan kawm uki.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.
Mimi ta mi bena mi mhläkphya nakia kyase, thihnak khe lü xünnak mi phaki ti mi ksingki he. A bena am mhläkphya naki cun thihnaka johita kea ve hamkia kyaki.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. (aiōnios g166)
A bena hnengki cun khyang hnimki ni. Khyang hnimki naküt naw angsäia xünnak am yah ti nami ksingki. (aiōnios g166)
16 In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Khritaw naw mi hama a sak a tawna phäh mhläkphyanak cun mi ksingki. Acuna kba ni, mi bena phäh mi sak pe khaia mi ngkawihkie ni.
17 He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?
Bawimang lü mi bena mpyankse se hmu lü mpyaneinak am mi tak üngta, ihawkba Pamhnam ka mhläkphya naki mi ti thei khai ni?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
Ka canae aw, mhläkphyanak cun mpyawng däk üng am ni. Mi mlung kcang ja mi xünsak üng mdan vai hlüki.
19 In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.
Ngthukcang üng mi sängei cun ahikba mi ksing law khai, Pamhnam maa mkhühüpnak cun pi ahikba kung kya khai ti mi ksingki.
20 For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Mi ksingnak naw a jah mkat üng ta, mi ksingnaka kthaka Pamhnam dämduhki tia mi ksingki.
21 Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence towards God:
Acunakyase, ka benae aw, mi ksingnak naw am a jah mkat üng ta, Pamhnama maa am mi kyühei.
22 And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
Ngthupet naküt pi jah läklam lü ani jenak vaia mi xüngseikia kyase, mi täsam naküt pi Pamhnam naw jah peki.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.
A ngthupet ta a Capa Jesuh Khritaw jumei vai. A Capa naw a ning jah mtheha mäiha mat ja mat mhläkphyanak vai ni.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Pamhnama ngthupet läklam lü Pamhnam am xüngseikiea khana Pamhnam pi xüngsei beki. Mimi üng a jah peta Ngmüimkhyaa phäh Pamhnam cun mi khana yümmat lü xüngseiki ti mi ksingki.
