1 John 2
1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Ka canae aw, käh nami mkhyekat vaia kca ka ning jah yuk lawki. Mkhyekatki a ve üngpi Pamhnama veia jah nghui pet be khai ngsungpyunki Jesuh Khritaw veki ni.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Mi mkhyekat naküt ja khawmdek khyang luma mkhyekat naküt mhlätnaka ngkengtaihnak ta amät Khritaw hin ve ni.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Pamhnama mtheh mi ngjak üng ta, Pamhnam mi ksingkia ngsing ve.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Pamhnam ka ksingki ni ti lü a mtheh am ngjakia khyang üng, a cangnak am ve. Khyang k’hleia mi kyaki, ngthukcang mi k’uma am xüngsei.
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
Au pi a mtheh ngjakia khyang cun Pamhnama mhläkphyanak üng kümceiki ni. Ahin cun Pamhnam üng mi yümmatnaka a ngsingnak ni.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Pamhnam üng ka xüngseiki mi ti üng ta, Khritawa kba mi ve vai hlüki.
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
Ka püi he aw, ahina ngthupet ka yuk law hin ngthupet kthai am ni. Akcük üngkhyüh nami ksing päng ngthupet kphyüm ni. Thangkdaw üng nami ngjak pänga ngthupet kphyüm ni.
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
Cunüngpi, atuh ka ning jah yuk law hin ta ngthupet kthai ni. Khritaw üngpi ngthukcang cun ngdang lü nangmi üngpi ngdangki. Anghmüp cun khyük lü akvai kcang cun vai law pängkia kyaki.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Akvai üng ka veki ti lü a bena hneng hamkia khyang ta, tuh veia anghmüp üng um hamkia kyaki.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Mi bena mi mhläkphyanak üng ta, akvai üng mi veki ni. Khyang kce mkhye law khaia pawhnak hlü i am ve.
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
Cunüngpi, mi bena mi hneng üng ta, anghmüp üng mi vekia kyaki. Acuna k’uma ngtuingleng lü hawia mi ceh hman am mi ksing. Isenitiüng, anghmüp cun naw mi mik a jah müsak ni.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Ka canae aw, kca ka ning jah yuk lawki. Khritawa phäh üng nami mkhyekat naküt a ning jah mhlät päng ni.
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
Pae aw, kca ka ning jah yuk lawki. Ani cun akcük üngkhyüh ana ve pängki tia nami ksingki he. Athawie, kca ka ning jah yuk lawki. Khawyaipa nami näng päng u ni.
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
Ka canae aw, nami Pa nami ksinga phäh kca ka ning jah yuk lawki ni. Pae aw, Jesuh cun akcük üngkhyüh ana ve pängki ti nami ksing ua phäh ka ning jah yuk lawki. Athawie aw, kca ka ning jah yuk lawki. Nangmi cun kyansai lü nami k’uma Pamhnama ngthu xüngki, Khawyaipa nami hnep päng u ni.
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
Khawmdek ja khawmdek üng sängeiki naküt käh mhläkphya kpamktah ua. Khawmdek nami mhläkphyanak üng ta, Pa am mhläkphya na uki.
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
Khawmdek üng sängeikia: mtisa hlü, mika hmuh naküt kpameinak ja khawmdeka veki khyange naw ami jah awhcahnaka khawhthem hin Pa Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkie am ni. Khawmdek üng ni ami sängei.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Khawmdek ja khawmdek üngka naküt khyangea kpameinak naküt cun khyükleih khaie. Cunüngpi, Pamhnama hlüei bikie ta angsäia xüng khaie. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
Ka canae aw, atuh hin akpäihnaka kcün ni. Khritawa Yepa po law khai ti nami ngjak cen, atuh hin Anti-Khrit khawhah po pängki he ni. Acunakyase, akpäihnaka kcün cäh lawki tia mi ksingki he ni.
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
Acun he cun mimi üng am sängei u. Acunakyase ni ami jah ceh tak u. Mimi üng ami sängei vai süa ta, mi hlawnga ve acun he sü. Acunüngpi, ami van cun mimi üng am sängei u tia a ngsingnak vaia, mi vei üngka naw citkie ni.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Cunüngpi, nangmi cun Khritaw naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üng dawnak ning jah pe se, avan naw ngthukcang nami ksingki ni.
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
Ngthukcang am nami ksinga phäh kca ka ning jah yuk law am ni. Ngthukcang ksing u lü ngthukcang üng hleihlak am ngpüi ti pi nami ksinga phäh ka ning jah yuk law ni.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
Acunüng, khyang k’hlei hin u vai ni. Jesuh hin Mesijah am ni tiki cun khyang k’hleie ni. Acuna ngkhaw khyange va Anti-Khrit hea kyaki he. Pa ja Capa ani nghngih jah makie ni.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Capa maki naw ta Pa pi maki ni. Capa doeiki naküt naw Pa pi yaheiki ni.
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
Ahlana nami ngjak kcük thangkdaw cen nami mlung k’uma ve nglät se. A ve nglät üng ta, Pa ja Capa üng nami xüngsei nglätkie ni.
Ahin ni Khritaw naw angsäia xünnak a jah pet vaia khyütam a jah pet ta. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Nangmi ning jah mhleimhlak hlükiea mawng ka ning jah yuk law ni.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
Cunüngpi, Khritaw naw a Ngmüimkhya nami veia a tüih law päng ni. A Ngmüimkhya nami k’uma a vea küta, ning jah mtheimthang khai u am hlü. A Ngmüimkhya naw ahmäi a ning jah mthei ni. Ania ning jah mthei cun cangki. A hlei am ni. A Ngmüimkhyaa ning jah mtheimthang läklam ua, Khritaw üng pi yümmat nglät u bä.
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
Ä, ka canae aw, Khritaw a ngdang law bea üng, linglainak üng be lü, A law bea Mhnüp üng, a maa käh ngkeei lü ngdüih dat vaia phäh ani üng yümmat nglät u bä.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Khritaw cun ngsungpyunki ti nami ksingki. Akdaw pawhkia khyang naküt cun Pamhnama ca tia nami ksinga ngkawih ve.
