1 John 3
1 Yeng-u, eikhoibu Tengban Mapugi machasing koubinaba Ipana eikhoigi ithakta kayagi matik nungsibire! Madumak eikhoi oiribani! Taibangpanna eikhoibu khangdabagi maramdi taibangpanna Ibungo mahakpu khangde.
See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
2 Achanbasa, houjik eikhoi Tengban Mapugi machasingni aduga eikhoi kari oigadage haiba houjik phaoba phongdokpidri. Adubu Christtabu phongdokpiba matamda eikhoi mahak man-gani maramdi mahakna oiribagumna eikhoina mahakpu ugani haiba eikhoina khang-i.
Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
3 Christtada asa asi leiba mi khudingmakna, Ibungona sengba oibagumna makhoi masabu sengdokchei.
Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Pap touba mi khudingna wayel yathangbu thugai; tasengna hairabada, papti wayel yathang thugaibani.
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Adubu Christtana eikhoigi pap louthokpinaba Ibungo mahak phongdokpire haiba nakhoina khang-i. Ibungoda pap amata leite.
You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
6 Ibungonda leiba mi amatana pap touduna leite. Pap touduna leiriba mi amatana Ibungo mahakpu usu-udri amasung khangsu-khangdri.
Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
7 Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, mi kana amatana nakhoibu lanna lamjing-han-ganu. Ibungona achumba chatpagumna achumba touriba mahak adu achumba chatpani.
Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Papki thabak touriba mahak adu Devil-dagini, maramdi Devil-di ahoubadagi houna pap tourakli. Tengban Mapugi machanupa adubu phongdokpibagi maramdi Devil-gi thabak manghannabani.
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: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Tengban Mapudagi poklaba kana amatana pap touduna leiroi, maramdi Tengban Mapugi maru adu makhoida lei; makhoina pap makha tana touduna leiba ngamde, maramdi makhoi Tengban Mapudagi poklabani.
Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
10 Matou asumna Tengban Mapugi machasing adu kanano amasung Devil-gi machasing adu kanano haiba eikhoina khang-i: achumba toudaba mahak adu Tengban Mapugi macha natte aduga machin manaobu nungsidaba mahak adusu natte.
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
11 Nakhoina ahoubadagi taraba paojel adu asini: Eikhoi amaga amaga nungsinagadabani.
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
12 Phattaba Mahak adugi oiduna Cain-na manao nupa Abel-bu hatpagumna eikhoi oiroidabani. Karigidamak mahakna manao nupabu hatkhibano? Maramdi mahakna toubasing adu aranba oirammi adubu mahakki manao nupana toubasing adu achumba oirammi.
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13 Eigi ichil inaosa, taibangpanna nakhoibu tukkacharabadi maduda ngakkanu.
Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Eikhoidi sibadagi hingbada lanthokle haiba eikhoina khang-i, maramdi eikhoi amaga amaga nungsinei. Nungsidaba mahak adu sibada leiri.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
15 Machin manaobu tukkachaba mahak adu mihatpani, mihatpa mi amatada lomba naidaba hingba leite haiba nakhoina khang-i. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Matou asumna nungsiba asi karino haiba eikhoina khang-i: Jisu Christtana eikhoigidamak mahakki thawai katthokpi. Madu oirabadi, eikhoinasu ichil inaosinggidamak eikhoigi thawai katthokpham thok-i.
By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 Lan thum leiba kanagumba amana mahakki machin manaosinggi awatpa adu uraga makhoigidamak mangonda nungsibiba leitrabadi, karamna Tengban Mapugi nungsiba adu mangonda leibage?
But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
18 Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, eikhoina waheitana nattraga ngangbatana nungsigumsi, adubu thabakna amasung achumbana nungsisi.
My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19 Matou asumna eikhoi achumba adugini haiba khang-i amasung eikhoigi thammoibu Ibungogi mangda langtaknaba yaodana eikhoibu leihalli.
And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
20 Eikhoigi thammoina eikhoibu lalhallabadi, Tengban Mapuna eikhoigi thammoidagi henna chao-i amasung Ibungona pumnamak khangbi haiba eikhoina khang-i.
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Achanbasa, eikhoigi thammoina eikhoibu lalhandrabadi, Tengban Mapugi mangda eikhoigi thouna phaba lei.
Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness towards God;
22 Eikhoina Ibungo mahakki yathang ngakpa amasung mahakki apenba adu touba maramna eikhoigi nijaba makhei eikhoina mangondagi phangjei.
so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Mahakki yathang adudi: mahakki Machanupa Jisu Christtagi mingda thajaba amasung Christtana eikhoida yathang pibagumna eikhoi amaga amaga nungsinaba aduni.
This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
24 Tengban Mapugi yathang ngakpa mahak adu Ibungo mangonda lei amasung Ibungo mahakna mangonda lei. Tengban Mapuna eikhoida pibiba Thawai adugi mapanna Tengban Mapuna eikhoida lei haiba eikhoina khang-i.
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.
