< 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.
Kacha deitahte, nachonset louna dinguva hiche hi nahenguva kahinjih ahi. Hinlah achonse aumtah a ahileh ichung thu'u eiseichampeh thei dingu chonphatah Yeshua Christa chu inei nauve.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Amatah hi ichonset nauva kona lhatdohna dinga hung kikatdoh a ahitai–chule eiho chonset jengseh hilouvin vannoi mite chonset jaljeh jong ahi.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Chule eihon Athupeh ho ijuiyuva ahileh Ama chu iheuve tia iseitheiyu ahi.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Koiham khattouvin, Keiman Pathen kahei tihen Pathen Thupeh ho jui hih henlang hitaleh, amatah chu mijou ahin, chule thutah'a chu hinglouva ahi.
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:
Hinlah Pathen Thu jui'a chu Ama ngailutna ivetsah tahbeh u ahi. Hichea hin Amaa hinga ihiuve ti ihetnau ahi.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Koihileh Pathena kahinge tiho chun Yeshua banga abol diu ahi.
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.
Deitahte, keiman nangho henga thupeh thah kajih ahipoi; atil abula naneisau thupehlui chu kahin jih joh ahi. Hiche thupehlui chu–khat le khat kingailut ding masanga najahsau chu ahi.
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.
Hiche thupeh hi athah jong ahi. Yeshua chu hiche thupeh a chon'ah ahin chule nangho jong hichea hi nachon diu ahi. Ajeh chu muthim hi hungmang ding chule vah tahbeh chu hungvah doh a ahitai.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Koiham khattouvin, “Keima Vah'a kavahlei,” tihen hinlah Christian asopi khat chu hotboltaleh, hichepa chu muthim lah a umnalai ahi.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Koipen hijongleh sopi midang khat angailut'a ahileh vah'a chu chon'ah ahin, chule koima kipal lhuh sahlou ahije.
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.
Hinlah sopi michom dang khat hot bola chu muthimlah a uma chule vahlea ahi. Hitobang mi chun achena ding lampi ahepon, muthim chun amit chotsah ahi.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Pathen chate ho dinga kajih ahi, ajeh chu Yeshua jal'a nachonset u ngaidam nahi tauve.
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.
Tahsan naa pilhing ho henga kahinjih ahi, ajeh chu atil abula pat'a anaumsa Christa chu nanghon naheuve. Tahsana khangdong nangho henga kahinjih ahi, ajeh chu nanghon agiloupa chu nakidou piuva najou ahitai.
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.
Nangho Pathen Chate ho henga kahinjih ahi, ajeh chu nanghon Pachu naheuve. Tahsan'a pilhing nangho henga kajih ahi, ajeh chu nanghon Christa chu naheuvin, Ama chu atil abula anaum jingsa ahi. Tahsanna khang dong nangho henga kahin jih ahi, ajeh chu nangho nahat uvin chule Pathen Thu nalung sunguva achenge, chule agilouto nakidouvu chu najou tauve.
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.
Hiche vannoi hi ngailu hih un ahilouleh vannoiyin napeh u jong ngailu hih un, ajeh chu nanghon vannoi nangailut tenguleh, nanghon Pa ngailutna chu nanei lou u ahi.
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.
Ajeh chu vannoiyin tahsalam lung ngaichat ho, mitmua deichatthei ho, chule ithilbol doh hou chule ineihouva kiletsah pina apehthei ahi. Hitihohi Pa a kon ahipoi, ahin hiche vannoiya kon joh ahi.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Chule hiche vannoi le miho lung ngaichatna ho jong akem tul tule. Hinlah Pathen lunglambol ho chu tonsot'a umjing ding ahiuve. (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.
Cha ngaitahteho, phat nunung chu ahitai. Christa doupa ahunge ti naja tauve. Chule Christa dou tampi ahung kilangtai. Hichea kon hin phat kichai kon ahunghitai ti naheuve.
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.
Hiche miho hin i-houbung hou adalhauve, hinlah amaho eihoto houbunga ium khom tahbeh khapouve, chuti lou hileh eiho toh umkhom diu ahitai. Adalhah u chun, amaho hi eihoa ahipouve ti aphotchen ahi.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Hinlah nangho hitobang chun naumpouve, ajeh chu Lhagao Theng nachung uvah ahung tan chule nangho jousen thutah chu nahesoh keiyuve.
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.
Hichea keiman nangho koma kajih hi thutah nahe pouve tia kasei ahipon, ahin nanghon thutahle jouthu akibahlouna naheuve.
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.
Chule koiham jouseipa chu? Koi hileh Yeshua chu Christa ahipoi ti chan chu Christa dou ahi.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Koi hileh Chapa seilep chan chun Pa aneilou ahi. Hinlah Chapa phongdoh chan chun Pachu anei ahitai.
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.
Hitiahi, atil abula pat'a nakihiluva chu tahsan umtah'a napandet dingu ahi. Hichu nabol ahileh, nangma Pa le Chapa toh kiloikhoma nahi ding ahi.
25 And this is what he himself promised us – eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
Chule hiche kiloikhomna ithanop nau hi aman eithutep peh u Tonsot Hinna chu ahi. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Keiman hicheng thil ho kajih hi nangho napui lamvai dinghou chung chang thua nangho kagih nahiuve.
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.
Hinlah nanghon Lhagao Theng naneiyuve chule Ama nangho sunga achenge chule ipi chu thutah ham tithua koiman nahil dingu ngaikhoh ahitapoi. Ajeh chu Lhagao chun imalam jousea nahil dingu ahi, chule Aman ahil chu thutah ahi, Ama ah jou apangpoi. Hiti chun aman nahilsau bang chun, Christa to kiloikhomna nei jingun.
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.
Chule tun, cha deitahte, Christa toh kiloikhomna neijingun, ajeh chu Ama ahung kilah tengleh nanghon lung ngamna bulhingset nanei dingu chule jahcha a chon talou ding nahiuve.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Eihon Christa chu chonpha ahi ti ihettah jeh uvin, koi hijongleh adih bola chu Pathen cha ahiuve tijong iheuve.
