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 tate awng, mawna na vawt ngawl natu uh in, hi thu te at in kong thak hi. Mi khatpo in mawna a vawt le, Pa kung ah hong thuumsak tu a thutang Jesus Christ i nei hi:
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Ama sia eite bek dom ngawl, leitungbup i mawna theampo atu in Pathian thin-ukna a dapsak pa a hihi.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Ama i he hi, ci thu sia, a thupiak te i zui na tungtawn in i telthiang hi.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Ama ka he hi, ci napi, a thupiak te a zui ngawl peuma, leilot hi, taciang a sung ah thuman a om bua hi.
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:
Ahihang a kuamapo a Thu a keamcing peuma sia, ama sung ah Pathian itna pawlcing takpi hi: tabang in eite in Ama sung ah i om hi, ci sia i he hi.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Jesus sung ah ka om nginge hi, a ci peuma sia Ama nuntakzia bang in a nuntak kul hi.
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.
Suapui te awng, note tung ah thupiak a thak hong at ngawl khi hi, ahihang a kipatcil pan na neisa uh thupiak lui a hihi. Thupiak a lui sia a kipatcil pan na zaksa uh thu a hihi.
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.
Note tung ah thupiak a thak kong at kik hi, tua thu sia Ama le note sung ah a maan a hihi: banghangziam cile khuazing bo a, khuavak tatak sia tu in hong tang hi.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Khuavak sung ah ka om hi, ci napi, a suapui a ensan peuma, tu dong in khuazing sung ah omlai hi.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Ama suapui a it peuma sia khuavak sung ah om hi, taciang ama sung ah puna om ngawl hi.
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.
Ahihang a suapui a ensan peuma khuazing sung ah om in nungta hi, taciang a paina mun zong a he bua hi, banghangziam cile khuazing in a mitte tawsak siat hi.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Tano te awng, na mawna uh te Ama min taw hong ki maisak sa ahikom note tung ah lai kong at hi.
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.
Pa te awng, a kipatcil pan in Ama he na hi uhkom in, note tung ah lai kong at hi. Khangno te awng, ngilopa na zaw uh hu in note tung ah lai kong at hi. tano te awng, Pa na heak uh hu in note tung ah lai kong at hi.
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.
Pa te awng, a kipat pan in Ama he na hi uhkom in, note tung ah lai kong at hi. Khangno te na thahat uh a, note sung ah Pathian Thu a om hu in, mi ngilopa a zo na hi uh hi, tua ahikom note tung ah lai kong at hi.
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.
Leitung le a sung a om nate it heak vun. Akua mapo in leitung a it le, ama sung ah pa itna om ngawl hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile leitung ah a om na theampo, cilesa deina, mit taw iplakna le nuntakna i kiphatsakna te sia Pa i neisa hi ngawl a, leitung i neisa a hihi.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Leitung le a iplakna te bosiat hi: ahihang Pathian deina a vawt peuma a tawntung in kip hi. (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.
Tano te awng, hi sia hun tawpkhak a hihi: na zak uh sa bang in, Christ ngalpa hongpai tu hi, tu zong Christ ngalte tam mama om zo hi; tua ahikom eite in hi sia in hun tawpkhakbel a hihi, ci sia i he hi.
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.
Amate sia eite kung pan pusuak uh hi, ahihang amate sia eima mihing hi ngawl hi; banghangziam cile eima mihing te hile, eite taw hong om paisuak tu hi, ci uplak natu om ngawl hi: ahihang amate a pusua hu in, eima mihing te hi nawn ngawl hi, ci kilangsak hi.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Ahihang note sia a Thiangtho Pa i sathau buakna na san uh hu in, na theampo na he uh hi.
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.
Thuman na heak ngawl uh hu in note tung ah lai hong at ka hi bua hi, ahihang na heak uh hu le, leilot thu te sia thuman sung ah ki hel ngawl ahikom, kong at a hihi.
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.
Jesus sia Christ a hihi, ci thu a nial te simngawl akua leilot thu son om ziam? Ama sia Christ i ngalpa hi a, Pa le Tapa zong nial hi.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Akua mapo Tapa a nial peuma Pa nei ngawl hi: ahihang Tapa a sang peuma Pa zong nei hi.
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.
Tua ahikom a kipatcil pan in na zak uh thu sia note sung ah hong om tawntung tahen. A kipatcil pan na zak uh thu note sung ah om tawntung ahile, note sia Tapa le Pa sung ah a tawntung in na om tu uh hi.
Taciang hi thu sia Ama in hong ciamsa kamciam hi a, nuntak tawntung na hong ciam hi. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Hi thu te note kung ah kong at na sia note hong theam te thu a hihi.
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.
Ahihang Ama kung pan na san uh sathau buak na sia note sung ah om tawntung hi, taciang kuama i hil na kul bua uh hi: ahihang tua sathau buakna in na theampo hong hil hi, taciang hi thu sia thuman hi a, leilot thu hi ngawl hi, note hong hil bangma in Ama sung ah, kip tavun.
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.
Tu in tano te awng, Ama hong kilang ciang in, muanna i nei thei natu le Ama hongpai ciang in a mai ah i maizum ngawl natu in, Ama sung ah kip in om vun.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Ama sia thuman hi, ci na he uh le, thutang suana a vawt te theampo sia Ama sung pan a piang a hi uh hi, ci na he uh hi.
