1 Joon 3
1 Sok thaak an, Hewah ih seng timthan minchan hali! Heh minchan ah erathan rak seng ah Rangte sah ngeh jen poon thuk hali—eno amiimi di seng loong ah hesuh hesah langli. Neng loong ih seng ah tajat ri mamah liidih Rangte ah tajat rumka.
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.
2 Nga mongnook joonte loong, seng ah belam Rangte suh asah, enoothong seng mamah angte angli erah amadi tuk ih tajatke. Enoothong seng ih ejat ehi Kristo raaha doh seng ah heh likhiik angte angli, mamah liidih heh ah mamah angta erah likhiikkhiik ih kaptup ih.
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.
3 Marah mina ih Kristo asuh laalom la erah mina ih Kristo saata likhik heh uh sa chamcham angtheng.
Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Ngo dala erah ih Rangte hotthe thetsiit ha erah ah thila, mamah liidih hotthe thetsiit ha rah rangdah.
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Sen ih ejat ehan Kristo ra taha rah rangdah saahaat ra taha, eno heh di rangdah ah takah jeeka.
You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
6 Erah raang ih Kristo damdoh roong tongte loong ah rangdah laka dah theng; Enoothong marah mina daruh ela, erah mina ih heh ah mabah uh tah tupta nyia tajatta.
Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him.
7 Nga sah loong, ngo ih uh nak toom mokwaan han! Marah mina pun reela erah mina ah Kristo kateng angla likhiik heh uh kateng angla.
Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Marah mina daruh ela erah mina ah Hakhoh juungbaan dabbi, mamah liidih Hakhoh juungbaan ih jaakhoh ni dook phang data. Rangte Sah ah erah thoi ih ra taha, marah Hakhoh juungbaan ih hoonta erah thet haat suh ra taha.
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.
9 Marah mina Rangte suh asah angla erah rangdah daruh tah daka, timnge liidih Rangte dang ajang ah neng damdi; edoleh Rangte ah neng Wah, erah thoidi neng ih rangdah ah daruh tah erumka.
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.
10 Rangte suh asah nyia Hakhoh juungbaan suh asah loong ah maama ang rum ah: Marah mina ah lapun reeka nyia wahoh lah minchanka rah Rangte suh asah tah angka.
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.
11 Jaakhoh ni chaattan jengkhaap ah arah: seng laktung nah minchan mui jaatjaat etheng.
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
12 Seng loong ah Keen likhiik nak angtheng; Heh ah Ethih Wah rah dakbi angthoi heh no Abel ah tek haatta. Keen ih heh ah tim suh tek haatta? Mamah liidih Keen reeraang ah ethih angta, eno heh no reeta ah epun angta.
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.
13 Phoh ano loong mongrep dowa mina loong ih mok miksuk hanbah nak paatja an.
Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Seng ih ejat ehi etek ah thinhaat eti eno ething roidong adi tongli; seng laktung ni minchan mui thaang ih arah jat hi. Marah mina ih phoh ano lah minchanka erah mina ah amadi uh etek chaan aphaan khui ni tong rumla.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love remains in death.
15 Marah mina ih hephoh heno miksuk ha erah mina ah mih tek haatte, eno sen ih ejat ehan mih tek haatte di lathoon roidong ah tajeeka ang ah. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Minchan jat hi rah amah: Kristo ih heh teeteewah roidong ah seng raangtaan ih kota, erah likhiikkhiik seng eh uh sengphoh sengno raangtaan ih thing tongtheng!
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 Seng changteng angli li ino sengphoh sengno ih timjih jamha erah etup ehi, ang abah uh neng suh tim uh takoke, erabah mamah ma jen chaang ih Rangte ah minchan ehang ngeh ah?
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?
18 Nga sah loong, seng dowa minchan ah jengkhaap luulu nyia tiitwaan luulu nah nak toom ang ah, erah nang ih amiisak minchan ah toom ang ah sengre sengraang nawa ih jen noisok theng toom ang ah.
Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19 Erah likhiikkhiik seng ah amiisak dabbi ngeh jat ih: seng loong Rangte ngathong nah rong tangtang jen ang ih.
And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart before him,
20 Sengthung sengtak ih seng loong mok dut haat heebah, seng ih ejat etheng sengthung sengtak nang ih Rangte ah elongthoon eno heh ih jirep roop jat ha.
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Erah raangtaan ih, mongnook joonte loong, sengthung sengtak ih seng asuh lamok damdak riibah, seng loong jinni tenchaan tenthun eje Rangte ngathong ni ah.
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
22 Marah suhi, erah heh jin nawa echoh eli, mamah liidih seng ih heh jengdang ah ekap ehi eno heh thung punjih ah ere eli.
and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Heh jengdang ah langla, seng ih Jisu Kristo suh hanpi ih nyia seng jaachi nah Kristo ih baat tahe likhiikkhiik minchan mui theng.
This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded us.
24 Marah mina ih Rangte jengdang ah echaat eha erah mina ah heh damdi roong tongla, eno Rangte uh heh damdi roong tongla. Mamah liidih marah Rangte ih koh tahe Chiiala rah ih jatthuk hali, Rangte ah seng damdi roongtong hala.
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.
