1 Jon 3
1 Kaatoka Abu ngonua vdwgo pakdu! ninyigv paknamv achialvbv kainamv ngonu Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu gobv minla sudukunv—okv vbvrinamv, jvjvklvbv, ngonuv vbvrije duku. Vkvlvgabv sichingmooku si ngonua kaachin madunv: soogv vdwv Pwknvyarnvnyi chimadu.
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 Ngoogv ajin vdwv vjak ngonu Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu vkula, vbvrijvka ngonu ogubv riyidw vjaklodvbv rvbwng bv chinbwk madu. Vbvritola ngonu um chindu kristo vdwlo atubonga kaatam redw, ngonu ninyigv aingbv rire, ogulvgavbolo hv oguaingbv jvjvklv dudw ninyia ngonu vbvching kaapa sire.
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 Kristo gvlo yvvdw vbv mvngtin sidudw, Kristo gv darwknam aingbv bunuka awv darwk nvbv risudunv.
Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4 Yvvdw rimur ridunv vv Pwknvyarnv gv Pvbv nga mvvkmvrvk jidunv, ogulvgavbolo Pvbv nga mvyaknam si rimurv.
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Nonu chindu Kristo rimur am lala laa tvvbv aato, okv ninyi gvlo oguguka rimur go kaama.
You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
6 Vkvlvgabv yvvdw Kristo gvlo akingobv ribam ridw vv rimur ribv kumare; vbvritola yvvdw rimur lo ribv dudw vv ninyia vdwloka kaakw madu vbvmajeka ninyia chimpa madu.
Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
7 Ngoogv umvuu vdw, nonu yvvnyika kupku yoka! yvvdw darwknv kudungkua nga ridunv vv Kristo gv darwknv rinam aingbv ridunv.
Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 Yvvdw rimur ribv dunv vv Uyudvbv gvbv ridunv, ogulvgavbolo Uyudvbv ngv klu lokv rimur gvnv ngv. Soogv lvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu am kaatamto, okv Uyudvbv gv kudungkua nga mvvkmvrvk dukubv vla aatoku.
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 Yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv ridu kudw vv rimur riching am ribv kuma dunv, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv gv ridungrima ngv bunu gvlo doodu kunv; okv ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv bunugv Abu bv rikunam lvgabv, bunu rimur ribvla rila kuma dunv.
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 Svbv riku lokv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu vdw okv Uyudvbv gv umvuu vdw ho angu sinam am pvbwngvrwng dukunv: yvvdw alvnv ogudw vkvnvnv mvnwng nga rimanv vmalo kvvbi aka pakma dunv vv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu bv rima dunv.
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 Ngonu ajin anyingnga pakmi sirung tvka: vnam si nonugv kvvlo gv tvvchonam doinv.
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
12 Ngonu Kein gv aingbv rimabvka; Hv Alvmanv Angv gvbv rito okv ninyigv atubogv boru Abelnyi mvki sutoku. Ogulvgabv Kein ninyia mvki toku? Vkvlvgavbolo ninyigv kudungkua rinamv rimurto, vbvritola ninyigv boru gv kudungkua rinamv rijwk yatoku.
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 Ngoogv ajin vdwv, sichingmooku soogv nyi vdwgv nonua kaanek nama nonu ogubvda bvri mvngyoka.
Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14 Ngonu sinam lokv turnam lo aadu kunv vla ngonu chindu kunv; vkvlvgabv ngonu kvbi aka pakmi sidunv vla ngonu chinsudu. Yvvdw pakmi sima dunv vv vjvlodvbv sinam gv jwkrw arwng lo dubv dunv.
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 Yvvdw kvvbi mvnwng nga kaanek yadunv vv minvlenv gobv ridunv, okv minvlenv ngv bunu vdwgvlo turbwng nama paama dunv vla um nonu chinsudu. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 Pakmi sinam si ogudw vv ngonugv chinamv: Kristo ngonu lvgabv ninyigv turnam am jitoku. Vbvrikunamv, ngonuka kvvbi vdwgv lvgabv turnam am jitv ngurv tvka!
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 Ngonu nyitv bolo okv kvvbi gv chichichilin manv am kaadu, vbvrijvka ngonugv haapok mvtum sutola bunua rinyingriru bolo, ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi pakdunv vla oguaingbv minla dubv?
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 Ngoogv umvuu vdw, ngonugv gaam raanam okv minam mvngchik lokv pakmwng yoka; Sum jvjvnv paknam lokv, gwngtumritum la kaatam tvlaka.
My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19 Vbvrikunamv, Ngonu jvjv lokv gvngv vla oguaingbv um ngonu chinla redw; sibv ngonu oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv gv nvchilo vngdwngbv doolaredw.
And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
20 Ngonugv mvngdung ngv ngonua miyakaya sidubolo, ngonu chinto laka Pwknvyarnv ngv ngonugv mvngdung nga kaiyanv ngv okv hv ogumvnwng nga chindunv
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Okv holvgabv ngoogv ajin vdw, ngonugv mvngdung ngv ngonua miyakaya suma dubolo, vv ngonu Pwknvyarnv gv nvchilo mvngrw dunv.
Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
22 Ngonu ogugo koodudw ngonu ninyi gvlo paadu, ogulvgavbolo ngonu ninyigv mingkulo vngdu okv ninyia mvngpu dubv ridu.
so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 Kristo gv ngonua gamkinam aingbv, Hv oguv vla gamkito vv ninyigv kuunyilo Jisu Kristonyi mvngjwng laka okv ajin anyingnga pakmi silaka vto.
This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, even as he commanded.
24 Yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv gamkinam am tvvla Pwknvyarnv gvlo lvkin gobv ridudw okv Pwknvyarnv bunua ka lvkin gobv ridu. Okv Pwknvyarnv gv dowa ngonu gvlo jilwk kunam lokv Pwknvyarnv ngonua lvkobv rimingvdu kunv vla ngonu chindu.
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.
