1 John 3
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Pathian i tate, ci hong kisap thei natu in, Pa in eite tung ah hongpiak itna sia bangbang ziam, ci en vun: tua ahikom leitung mite in hong he bua uh hi, banghangziam cile amate in Pathian a he bua uh hi.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Ka it te awng, tu in eite sia Pathian ta i hihi, taciang, maisang bangbang i hi tu ziam, ci sia kilang ngawl lai hi: ahihang Ama hong kilang ciang in, eite zong Ama taw i kibang tu hi; banghangziam cile Ama sia ama hina bang in i mu tu hi, ci i he hi.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Taciang Ama sung ah hi lametna a nei theampo in, Jesus Christ i thiantho bang in ama le ama ki thiangthosak hi.
4 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Akua mapo mawna a vawt peuma thukham paltan hi: banghangziam cile mawna i ci sia thukham paltan na a hihi.
5 And ye know that he appeared to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Taciang Ama sia eite mawna te la tu in hong kilang hi, ci na he uh hi; taciang Ama sung ah mawna om ngawl hi.
6 Whoever abideth in him sinneth not: whoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Akua mapo Ama sung ah a om paisuak peuma mawna vawt tawntung ngawl hi: mawna a vawt tawntung peuma Ama mu ngawl lai a, he zong he ngawl lai hi.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Tano te awng, kuama in hong theam heak tahen: Ama a thuman bangma in a thutang te in thutang suana vawt hi.
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.
Mawna a vawt tawntung peuma doaimangpa neisa a hihi; banghangziam cile doaimangpa in a kipat pan in mawna vawt hi. Banghangziam cile doaimangpa nasep te siatsua tu sia, Pathian Tapa hong kilatna i tup le sawm a hihi.
9 Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Akua mapo Pathian sung pan piang tate peuma mawna vawt tawntung ngawl hi; banghangziam cile Pathian i thaici sia ama sung ah om hi: taciang ama sia Pathian sung pan a piang ta ahikom mawna vawt tawntung ngawl hi.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Pathian tate le doaimangpa tate hong kilang na sia hi thu pan a hihi: a kuamapo thutanna a vawt ngawl peuma le a suapui a it ngawl te sia Pathian neisa a hi bua uh hi.
11 For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Banghangziam cile hi thu vaithak sia a kipat pan na zak uh hi a, tua thu sia eite khat le khat ki it tu a hihi.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
A nau a that mi ngilo Cain bang hi heak vun. Banghang in a nau that ziam? A nasepna te pha ngawl a, a nau i sep te a thuman hang a hihi.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
Suapui te awng, leitung mite in hong ensan le lamdangsa heak vun.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Eite thina pan in nuntakna ah i kantan zo hi, ci sia i suapui te i it nataw i he hi. Suapui a it ngawl peuma sia thina sung ah omlai hi.
15 Whoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
Akua mapo a suapui a ensan peuma tualthat a hihi: taciang tualthat te sung ah tawntung nuntakna om ngawl hi, ci na he uh hi. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Christ in eite atu a nuntakna hongpiak hu in Pathian itna i he hi: taciang eite zong i suapui te atu in i nuntakna i piak tu a hihi.
17 But he who hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassions from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
Ahihang a kuamapo leitung nate nei a, a suapui pa in kisapna nei hi, ci mu nginge napi hesuakna a nei bale, bangbang in ama sung ah Pathian itna om thei tu ziam?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Ka tano te awng, kam le leii bek hi ngawl in; sepna le thuman taw ki it tawng.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
Tabang in i ki it le eite thuman taw i kizopna i he hi, taciang Pathian mai ah i thin hong kho tu hi.
20 For if our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Banghangziam cile i thinsung in hong mawsak le, Pathian sia i thinsung sang in lianzaw a, na theampo he hi.
21 Beloved, if our heart doth not condemn us, then have we confidence toward God.
Ka it te awng, eite i thinsung in hong mawsak bua ahile, Pathian sang ah thinmuanna i nei hi.
22 And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Taciang bangpo i ngen zong in, Pathian tung pan in i nga hi, banghangziam cile a thupiak te i zui hu le Ama mai ah a lungkim nate i sep hang a hihi.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Pathian thupiak sia, a Tapa Jesus Christ min up tu le, Ama in thu hongpiaksa bang in khat le khat ki it tu thu a hihi.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit who he hath given to us.
Pathian thupiak te a keamcing peuma sia Ama sung ah om a, ama zong Pathian sung ah om hi. Pathian i hongpiak Thaa hang in, eite sung ah Ama hong om hi, ci i he hi.
