1 John 3
1 Look at the amazing kind of love the Father has for us! This is why we can be called God's children—for that's who we are! The reason why the people of this world don't recognize us as God's children is because they don't recognize him.
Yeng-u, eikhoibu Tengban Mapugi machasing koubinaba Ipana eikhoigi ithakta kayagi matik nungsibire! Madumak eikhoi oiribani! Taibangpanna eikhoibu khangdabagi maramdi taibangpanna Ibungo mahakpu khangde.
2 My friends, we are already God's children; however what we shall become hasn't been revealed just yet. But we do know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.
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.
3 All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
Christtada asa asi leiba mi khudingmakna, Ibungona sengba oibagumna makhoi masabu sengdokchei.
4 All those who sin are lawless, because sin is lawlessness.
Pap touba mi khudingna wayel yathangbu thugai; tasengna hairabada, papti wayel yathang thugaibani.
5 But of course you know that Jesus came to take away sins, and that there is no sin in him.
Adubu Christtana eikhoigi pap louthokpinaba Ibungo mahak phongdokpire haiba nakhoina khang-i. Ibungoda pap amata leite.
6 All those who live in him don't go on sinning; all those who keep on sinning haven't seen him and haven't known him.
Ibungonda leiba mi amatana pap touduna leite. Pap touduna leiriba mi amatana Ibungo mahakpu usu-udri amasung khangsu-khangdri.
7 Dear friends, don't let anyone fool you: those who do what is right are right, in the same way as Jesus is right.
Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, mi kana amatana nakhoibu lanna lamjing-han-ganu. Ibungona achumba chatpagumna achumba touriba mahak adu achumba chatpani.
8 Those who sin are of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. That's the reason why the Son of God came—to destroy what the devil has done.
Papki thabak touriba mahak adu Devil-dagini, maramdi Devil-di ahoubadagi houna pap tourakli. Tengban Mapugi machanupa adubu phongdokpibagi maramdi Devil-gi thabak manghannabani.
9 All those who are born of God don't keep on sinning, for God's nature lives in them. They can't keep on sinning because they are born of God.
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.
10 This is how God's children and the devil's children can be distinguished: all those who don't do what's right don't belong to God, nor do those who don't love their fellow Christians.
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.
11 The message you've heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.
Nakhoina ahoubadagi taraba paojel adu asini: Eikhoi amaga amaga nungsinagadabani.
12 We cannot be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and murdered his brother. Why did he murder him? Because Cain did what was evil, while his brother did what was right.
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.
13 So don't be surprised, my friends, if this world hates you!
Eigi ichil inaosa, taibangpanna nakhoibu tukkacharabadi maduda ngakkanu.
14 The reason we know that we have changed from death to life is because we love our Christian brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn't love remains dead.
Eikhoidi sibadagi hingbada lanthokle haiba eikhoina khang-i, maramdi eikhoi amaga amaga nungsinei. Nungsidaba mahak adu sibada leiri.
15 All those who hate their Christian brothers and sisters are murderers, and you know that no murderers have eternal life within them! (aiōnios g166)
Machin manaobu tukkachaba mahak adu mihatpani, mihatpa mi amatada lomba naidaba hingba leite haiba nakhoina khang-i. (aiōnios g166)
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.
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.
17 If one of you is living well in this world and you see your Christian brother or sister in need, but you don't show compassion—how can God's love be living in you?
Lan thum leiba kanagumba amana mahakki machin manaosinggi awatpa adu uraga makhoigidamak mangonda nungsibiba leitrabadi, karamna Tengban Mapugi nungsiba adu mangonda leibage?
18 Dear friends, let's not just say we love with words, but show our love in what we do and how we demonstrate the truth.
Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, eikhoina waheitana nattraga ngangbatana nungsigumsi, adubu thabakna amasung achumbana nungsisi.
19 This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will set our minds at rest before God
Matou asumna eikhoi achumba adugini haiba khang-i amasung eikhoigi thammoibu Ibungogi mangda langtaknaba yaodana eikhoibu leihalli.
20 whenever we think we're in the wrong. God is greater than how we think, and he knows everything.
Eikhoigi thammoina eikhoibu lalhallabadi, Tengban Mapuna eikhoigi thammoidagi henna chao-i amasung Ibungona pumnamak khangbi haiba eikhoina khang-i.
21 Dear friends, if we're reassured we're not in the wrong, we can have confidence before God.
Achanbasa, eikhoigi thammoina eikhoibu lalhandrabadi, Tengban Mapugi mangda eikhoigi thouna phaba lei.
22 We'll receive from him whatever we ask him for, because we follow his commands and do what pleases him.
Eikhoina Ibungo mahakki yathang ngakpa amasung mahakki apenba adu touba maramna eikhoigi nijaba makhei eikhoina mangondagi phangjei.
23 This is what he commands: we should trust in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us to do.
Mahakki yathang adudi: mahakki Machanupa Jisu Christtagi mingda thajaba amasung Christtana eikhoida yathang pibagumna eikhoi amaga amaga nungsinaba aduni.
24 Those who keep his commands continue to live in him, and he lives in them. We know that he lives in us by the Spirit he has given us.
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.
