1 John 3
1 See what kind of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know 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 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just 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 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Ahina äpeinak Khritaw üng taki naküt naw, Khritaw a ngcingcaiha mäiha, amät naw amät ngcingcaiheisaki ni.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Mkhyekatki naküt cun naw Pamhnama thum lümkanki ni. Isenitiüng, mkhyenak cun thum lümkannak ni.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
Khritaw cun naw mi mkhyekatnak naküt cehpüi khai lawki ni tia nami ksingki. Khritaw üng a mkhyekatnak am veki.
6 Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows 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 Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Ka canae aw, u naw pi käh ning jah mhleimhlak se. Akdaw pawhkia khyang cun Khritaw a ngsungpyuna kba ngsungpyunnaki ni.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, to 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 Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he cannot 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 revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love 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 message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Khawmdeka ngtüi üngkhyüh na ngjaka ngthu ta: mat ja mat mhläkphyana yah khai.
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
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 Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
Ka benae aw, khawmdek khyange naw ami ning hneng üng käh müncan kawm uki.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love remains 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 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
A bena hnengki cun khyang hnimki ni. Khyang hnimki naküt naw angsäia xünnak am yah ti nami ksingki. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
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 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain 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 Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
Ka canae aw, mhläkphyanak cun mpyawng däk üng am ni. Mi mlung kcang ja mi xünsak üng mdan vai hlüki.
19 And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him,
Ngthukcang üng mi sängei cun ahikba mi ksing law khai, Pamhnam maa mkhühüpnak cun pi ahikba kung kya khai ti mi ksingki.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Mi ksingnak naw a jah mkat üng ta, mi ksingnaka kthaka Pamhnam dämduhki tia mi ksingki.
21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
Acunakyase, ka benae aw, mi ksingnak naw am a jah mkat üng ta, Pamhnama maa am mi kyühei.
22 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that 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 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded 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 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave 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.
