< 1 John 1 >

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have listened to, which we have seen with our own eyes, and our own hands have handled concerning the Word of Life--
Ak cykca awhkawng ak awm, ningnih ingawm ning zaak uh, mik ing ni toek unawh ni hu uhy, kut ing ni bi uhy - Vawhkaw hqingnaak Awi veni ningnih ing nik kqawn uh.
2 the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare unto you the Life of the Ages which was with the Father and was manifested to us-- (aiōnios g166)
Hqingnaak ce dang hy; ningnih ing ni hu unawh ning dyih pyi uhy, nangmih a venawh kumqui hqingnaak awi ce kqawn law u nyng, cawhkaw awi cetaw Pa ing anik awm haih ce ningnih a venawh dang hawh hy. (aiōnios g166)
3 that which we have seen and listened to we now announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship in it with us, and this fellowship with us is fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
kaimih ing ka mi huh ingkaw ka ming zaak ce nangmih ing kaimih ing pawlnengnaak nami taak naak thai aham nangmih a venawh kqawn law patoe nyng. Kaimih a pawlnengnaak taw Khawsa ingkaw a capa Jesu Khrih awh ni.
4 And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.
kaimih a zeelnaak a soepnaak thai aham ve ak ca ve qee law nyng.
5 This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.
Kaimih ing za unyng nangmih a venawh ka mik kqawn awi taw veni: Khawsa taw vangnaak na awm nawh; amah awh thannaak tehca awm am awm hy.
6 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
Amah ing pawlnengnaak ta hawh nyng ni ti hlai hy, than ak khuiawh ni ceh khing awhtaw, qaai ak kqawn na ni awm unawh awitak ing am ni hqing uhy.
7 But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.
Cehlai vangnaak ak khuiawh ni ceh uh awhtaw, amah taw vangnaak na a awm a dawngawh, ningnih taw pynoet ingkaw pynoet pawlneng naak ak ta thlang na ni awm uhy, amah Capa, Jesu thi ing thawlhnaak boeih khui awhkawng ningnih ce ni sil khqi hawh hy.
8 If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
Am thawlh nyng ni ti mantaw, nimah ingkaw nimah nik thai qunaak na ni awm unawh awitak ce ningnih ak khuiawh am awm hy.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
Thawlhnaak ce nik kqawn awhtaw, anih taw ypawm ing thawlhnaak awh qeenkhaw ning ngai pe kawmsaw amni dyngnaak awhkawng ningnih ce ni ciimcaih sak khqi kaw.
10 If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.
Am thawlh nyng ni ti mantaw, anih ce qaai ak kqawn na ni sai uawh ningnih a hqingnaak awh ak awi ce am awm hy.
