1 Johan 1
1 Te tah a tongcuek lamkah aka om tih te te n'yaak uh. Te te mamih mik neh n'sawt uh coeng. Te te m'hmuh uh phoeiah mamih kut loh a phathuep hingnah Olka kawng ni.
This letter is about the Word of Life which existed from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our very own eyes and gazed upon, and which our hands have touched.
2 Hingnah long tah ha phoe ngawn coeng. Te vaengah dungyan hingnah te ka hmuh uh tih ka phong uh vanbangla nangmih taengah ka puen uh. Te tah pa taengah om tih mamih taengah ha phoe coeng. (aiōnios g166)
This Life was revealed to us; we saw it and give evidence about it. We are telling you about the one who is Eternal Life, who was with the Father, and who was revealed to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Te te ka hmuh uh tih ka yaak uh dongah ni nangmih taengah khaw ka puen uh. Te daengah ni nangmih khaw kaimih taengah rhoinaengnah, pa neh mamih, a capa Jesuh Khrih neh rhoinaengnah te khaw na khueh uh eh.
What we have seen and heard we are now explaining to you, so that you may also share in this friendship together with us—this friendship that is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 Hekah he khaw kaimih kah omngaihnah soep sak ham ni kaimih loh ka daek uh.
We're writing to tell you about this in order to make our happiness complete.
5 He kah olthang aka om he amah lamloh ka yaak uh tih nangmih taengah ka puen uh. Pathen tah vangnah la om tih a khuiah a hmuep om loengloeng pawh.
This is the message we received from him and that we declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him at all.
6 Amah neh rhoinaengnah n'khueh uh tila n'thui uh tih yinnah khuiah m'pongpa uh atah n'laithae uh tih oltak n'saii moenih.
If we claim to share this friendship with him and yet go on living in darkness, we're lying, and not living in the truth.
7 Tedae amah loh vangnah khuiah a om vanbangla vangnah khuiah m'pongpa uh atah, khat neh khat taengah rhoinaengnah ng'khueh uh. Te vaengah a capa Jesuh kah thii loh mamih he tholhnah cungkuem lamloh n'cilpoe coeng.
But if we are living in the light, as he is in the light, then we share in this friendship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, makes us clean from every sin.
8 Tholhnah n'khueh uh moenih tila n'thui uh atah amah la n'rhaithi uh dongah oltak loh mamih khuiah om pawh.
If we claim to be sinless we only fool ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 Mamih kah tholhnah te m'phong uh atah amah khaw uepom la om tih a dueng dongah mamih kah tholhnah te a hlah tih boethae cungkuem lamkah mamih n'cilpoe.
But if we confess our sins, he is trustworthy and right so that he can forgive us our sins and make us clean from all that is not right in us.
10 Ka tholh uh pawh tila n'thui uh atah amah laithae m'pup uh tih a olka loh mamih khuiah om pawh.
If we claim we haven't sinned, we turn him into a liar, and his word is not in us.
