1 Johan 4

1 Thintlo rhoek, mueihla boeih te tangnah uh boeh. Pathen kah mueihla la a om uh khaw nuemnai uh dae. Diklai ah laithae tonghma rhoek muep pongpa uh coeng.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

2 He nen ni Pathen kah Mueihla te m'ming uh. Jesuh Khrih pumsa la ha pawk tila aka phong mueihla boeih te Pathen kah mueihla ni.

In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in the flesh, it is of God,

3 Jesuh aka phong mueh boeih te tah Pathen kah mueihla om pawh. Te tah Khrihrhal kah ni te. Te te ha pawk te na yaak uh coeng. Te dongah oepsoeh la Diklai ah om coeng.

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ having come in the flesh, it is not of God; and this is that of the antichrist, which you heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world.

4 Oingaih rhoek, nangmih tah Pathen kah ca la na om uh dongah amih te na noeng uh. Nangmih ah aka om tah Diklai kah lakah tanglue ta.

You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.

5 Amih tah Diklai kah ni. Te dongah Diklai kah a thui uh vaengah amih kah te Diklai loh a yaak tangloeng.

They are of the world, because they speak of this from the world, and the world hears them;

6 Mamih tah Pathen kah ni. Pathen aka ming loh mamih kah te a yaak. Pathen kah la aka om mueh loh mamih kah ol ya pawh. Tahae lamkah tah, oltak mueihla neh tholhhiknah mueihla te m'ming uh.

we are of God; he who is knowing God hears us; he who is not of God, does not hear us; from this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

7 Thintlo rhoek khat neh khat he lungnah sih. Lungnah tah Pathen kah ni. Te dongah hlang aka lungnah boeih tah Pathen kah a sak la om tih Pathen te a ming.

Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God, and everyone loving has been begotten of God, and knows God;

8 Pathen tah lungnah la a om dongah aka lungnah pawt loh Pathen te a ming moenih.

he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

9 Hekah neh mamih taengah Pathen kah lungnah tah phoe. Amah lamloh hing sak ham Pathen loh khueh duen a capa te Diklai la han tueih coeng.

In this was revealed the love of God in us, because God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through Him;

10 Lungnah tah te khuiah ni a om. Mamih loh Pathen te n'lungnah moenih. Tedae amah loh mamih n'lungnah dongah mamih kah tholhnah kongah ni dawthnah la a capa te a han tueih.

in this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son [as] the propitiation for our sins.

11 Thintlo rhoek, Pathen loh mamih n'lungnah tangloeng atah, mamih loh khat neh khat lungnah a kuek van.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another;

12 Pathen a hmuh noek moenih. Khat neh khat n'lungnah atah, Pathen he mamih ah om tih a lungnah loh mamih ah rhuemtuet la om.

no one has ever seen God; if we may love one another, God remains in us, and His love is having been perfected in us;

13 A Mueihla te mamih m'paek coeng dongah, amah dongah n'naeh uh tih mamih ah amah a naeh te m'ming uh.

in this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit He has given us.

14 Pa loh Diklai khangkung la capa han tueih te mamih long khaw m'hmuh uh dongah m'phong uh.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world;

15 Jesuh te Pathen Capa ni tila aka phong te tah anih dongah Pathen om tih anih khaw Pathen khuiah om.

whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God;

16 Pathen loh mamih taengah a khueh lungnah te mamih loh m'ming uh tih n'tangnah uh. Pathen tah lungnah ni. Lungnah dongah aka om tah Pathen dongah om tih Pathen khaw anih ah naeh van.

and we have known and believed the love that God has in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in love, remains in God, and God in him.

17 He nen he mamih taengah lungnah a cung daengah ni laitloeknah khohnin ah sayalhnah n'khueh uh eh. Amah a om bangla mamih khaw he Diklai ah n'om uh.

In this, love has been perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because even as He is, we also are in this world.

18 Lungnah dongah rhihnah om pawh. Tedae lungnah a soep loh rhihnah te vil a voeih tih rhihnah loh dantatnah han khuen. Te dongah aka birhih tah lungnah dongah a soep moenih.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and he who is fearing has not been made perfect in love;

19 Amah loh lamhma la mamih n'lungnah dongah, mamih loh n'lungnah uh.

we love Him, because He first loved us;

20 Khat khat loh Pathen te ka lungnah tila a thui tih a manuca te a hmuhuet atah laithae la om coeng. A hmuh nawn a manuca te aka lungnah pawt loh hmuh mueh Pathen te lungnah thai pawh.

if anyone may say, “I love God,” and may hate his brother, he is a liar; for he who is not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?

21 Pathen aka lungnah loh a manuca te khaw a lungnah van ham Amah lamkah olpaek he khaw n'dang uh.

And this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
