< 1 John 4 >

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Thintlo rhoek, mueihla boeih te tangnah uh boeh. Pathen kah mueihla la a om uh khaw nuemnai uh dae. Diklai ah laithae tonghma rhoek muep pongpa uh coeng.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
He nen ni Pathen kah Mueihla te m'ming uh. Jesuh Khrih pumsa la ha pawk tila aka phong mueihla boeih te Pathen kah mueihla ni.
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Jesuh aka phong mueh boeih te tah Pathen kah mueihla om pawh. Te tah Khrihrhal kah ni te. Te te ha pawk te na yaak uh coeng. Te dongah oepsoeh la Diklai ah om coeng.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Oingaih rhoek, nangmih tah Pathen kah ca la na om uh dongah amih te na noeng uh. Nangmih ah aka om tah Diklai kah lakah tanglue ta.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
Amih tah Diklai kah ni. Te dongah Diklai kah a thui uh vaengah amih kah te Diklai loh a yaak tangloeng.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Mamih tah Pathen kah ni. Pathen aka ming loh mamih kah te a yaak. Pathen kah la aka om mueh loh mamih kah ol ya pawh. Tahae lamkah tah, oltak mueihla neh tholhhiknah mueihla te m'ming uh.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Thintlo rhoek khat neh khat he lungnah sih. Lungnah tah Pathen kah ni. Te dongah hlang aka lungnah boeih tah Pathen kah a sak la om tih Pathen te a ming.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Pathen tah lungnah la a om dongah aka lungnah pawt loh Pathen te a ming moenih.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Hekah neh mamih taengah Pathen kah lungnah tah phoe. Amah lamloh hing sak ham Pathen loh khueh duen a capa te Diklai la han tueih coeng.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
Lungnah tah te khuiah ni a om. Mamih loh Pathen te n'lungnah moenih. Tedae amah loh mamih n'lungnah dongah mamih kah tholhnah kongah ni dawthnah la a capa te a han tueih.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Thintlo rhoek, Pathen loh mamih n'lungnah tangloeng atah, mamih loh khat neh khat lungnah a kuek van.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Pathen a hmuh noek moenih. Khat neh khat n'lungnah atah, Pathen he mamih ah om tih a lungnah loh mamih ah rhuemtuet la om.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
A Mueihla te mamih m'paek coeng dongah, amah dongah n'naeh uh tih mamih ah amah a naeh te m'ming uh.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.
Pa loh Diklai khangkung la capa han tueih te mamih long khaw m'hmuh uh dongah m'phong uh.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Jesuh te Pathen Capa ni tila aka phong te tah anih dongah Pathen om tih anih khaw Pathen khuiah om.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Pathen loh mamih taengah a khueh lungnah te mamih loh m'ming uh tih n'tangnah uh. Pathen tah lungnah ni. Lungnah dongah aka om tah Pathen dongah om tih Pathen khaw anih ah naeh van.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
He nen he mamih taengah lungnah a cung daengah ni laitloeknah khohnin ah sayalhnah n'khueh uh eh. Amah a om bangla mamih khaw he Diklai ah n'om uh.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Lungnah dongah rhihnah om pawh. Tedae lungnah a soep loh rhihnah te vil a voeih tih rhihnah loh dantatnah han khuen. Te dongah aka birhih tah lungnah dongah a soep moenih.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Amah loh lamhma la mamih n'lungnah dongah, mamih loh n'lungnah uh.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Khat khat loh Pathen te ka lungnah tila a thui tih a manuca te a hmuhuet atah laithae la om coeng. A hmuh nawn a manuca te aka lungnah pawt loh hmuh mueh Pathen te lungnah thai pawh.
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Pathen aka lungnah loh a manuca te khaw a lungnah van ham Amah lamkah olpaek he khaw n'dang uh.
