< 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.
Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, nakhoina pap toudanaba, eina waramsing asi nakhoigi naphamda i-ri; kanagumbana pap tourabadi, Ipagi maphamda eikhoigidamak wanombiba eikhoigi kanagumba ama leiri, mahak adudi achumba chatpa Jisu Christtani.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Ibungo mahakti eikhoigi papki katthokpiraba usin aduni aduga eikhoigita nattana taibangpan pumbagi papkidaksuni.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Eikhoina mahakki yathangsing ngaklabadi eikhoina mahakpu khang-i haiba eikhoina khang-i.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
Kanagumbana “Eina mahakpu khang-i” hairaga mahakki yathangsing indrabadi mahak minambani, aduga achumba adu mangonda leite.
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:
Adubu kanagumba amana mahakki wa illabadi Tengban Mapubu nungsiba adu makhoida tasengna mapung phaba oihalle. Eikhoina Ibungoda lei haibasi masina sengna khangba ngammi:
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
Tengban Mapuda lei hairiba mahak aduna Jisuna hinglamba adugumna mahakna hingba tai.
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.
Achanbasa, eina nakhoida anouba yathang ama i-ba natte adubu ahoubadagi nakhoida leiraklaba ariba aduni. Ariba yathang asi nakhoina hannana taraba paojel aduni.
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.
Adum oinamak, eina nakhoida anouba yathang ama i-ri, maramdi masigi achumba asi Christtada u-i amasung nakhoidasu u-i. Maramdi amamba adu houkhre amasung achumba mangal adu nganduna leire.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
Kanagumbana mahak mangalda lei hairaga mahakki machin manaobu tukkacharabadi, mahak houjiksu amambada leiri.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
Machin manaobu nungsiba mahak adu mangalda lei amasung mangonda khudi thiningai kari amata leite.
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.
Adubu kanagumba amana machin manaobu tukkacharabadi mahak amambada lei amadi mahakna amambada koichat chatli. Amambana mahakpu mamit tanghanba maramna mahakna kadaida chatlibano haiba khangde.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, Christtagi maramgidamak nakhoigi papsing kokpikhraba maramna eina nakhoida i-ri.
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.
Mapa oibasa, ahoubadagi leiraklaba mahakpu nakhoina khangbagi maramna eina nakhoida i-ri. Naha oibasa, nakhoina Phattaba Mahak adubu ngambagi maramna eina nakhoida i-ri.
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.
Nungsiraba angangsa, nakhoina Ipa adubu khangbagi maramna eina nakhoida i-ri. Mapa oibasa, ahoubadagi leiraklaba mahakpu nakhoina khangbagi maramna eina nakhoida i-ri. Naha oibasa, nakhoi panggal kalli, amadi Tengban Mapugi wa adu nakhoida lei, amasung nakhoina Phattaba Mahak adubu ngambagi maramna eina nakhoida i-ri.
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.
Taibangpan nattraga taibangpanda leiriba pot amatabu nungsiganu. Kanagumba mi amana taibangpanbu nungsirabadi, Ipabu nungsiba adu mangonda leite.
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.
Taibangpanda leiriba pumnamak haibadi hakchanggi apamba, mitki apamba amasung punsigi napal asising asi Ipadagi lakpa natte, adubu taibangpandagini.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
Taibangpan amasung masigi apamba adu mangsillakli; adubu Tengban Mapugi aningba touba mahak adudi matam pumnamakta hingduna lei. (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.
Eigi nungsiraba angangsa, aroiba pungjani; Christtagi maiyokta leiba mahak adu lakkani haiba nakhoina takhibagumna, houjiksu Christtagi yeknaba mayam ama thorakle. Maram aduna aroiba pungjani haiba eikhoina khangle.
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.
Makhoina eikhoidagi chatthokkhibani adubu tasengbadi makhoi eikhoigi oiramde, maramdi makhoi eikhoigi oiramlabadi, makhoi eikhoiga adum leiramgadabani, adubu makhoina chatthokkhiba aduna makhoi amata eikhoigi natte haibadu phongdokle.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Adubu nakhoidi Christtana nakhoigi nathakta Thawai Asengba heithabikhrabani, maram aduna nakhoi pumnamak achumba adu khang-i.
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.
Nakhoina achumba adu khangdabagi maramna eina nakhoida i-ba natte, adubu nakhoina achumba adu khangbagi maramna amasung achumba adudagi minamba amata laktaba maramna i-bani.
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.
Adunadi minamba ngangba adu kanano? Jisubu Christtani haiba yadaba mahak aduni. Mahak adudi Mapa amasung Machanupabu yadaba Christtagi yeknaba mini.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
Machanupa adubu yadaba mi khudingmak Mapa adubusu yadabani; Machanupa adubu yaba mi khudingmak Mapa adubusu phang-i.
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.
Nakhoigidamakti, nakhoina ahoubadagi takhraba adu nakhoida lengdana leihallu. Madu nakhoina tourabadi, nakhoisu Machanupada amasung Mapada lengdana leigani.
25 And this is what he himself promised us – eternal life! (aiōnios g166)
Christtana eikhoida pibigani wasakpikhiba adu asini madudi lomba naidaba hingba aduni. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Nakhoibu lanna lamjingnaba hotnariba makhoising adugi maramda eina nakhoida waramsing asi i-bani.
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.
Nakhoigidamakti, nakhoina Ibungo mangondagi phangkhraba thao noibiraba adu nakhoida lengdana lei, aduna nakhoibu kanagumbana tambibagi mathou tade. Adubu Ibungogi thao noibiba aduna nakhoibu hiram pumnamakki maramda tambi aduga thao noibiba adu thanggeisengbani, sasinnaba minamba natte. Nakhoibu tambikhraba adugumna nakhoi Ibungoda lengdana leiyu.
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.
Aduna houjikti, eigi nungsiraba angangsa, Ibungona lenglakpa matamda mahakki mangda eikhoina ikaiba leitanaba amasung thouna leinaba Ibungoda lengdana leiyu.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Christtadi achumba chatpani haiba nakhoina khanglabadi, achumba touba khudingmak Ibungodagi pokpani haiba nakhoina khang-i.
