1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Ka naute aw thil na hihkhelh louhna dingun hiai thute na kiang uah ka gelh ahi. Huan, kuapeuhin thil a hihkhelh aleh, Pa kianga hon genpihpa, Jesu Kris Mi diktat i nei hi;
2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
2A mah tuh i khelhnate thupha tawina ahi; eimah khelhna kia hi louin, khovel tengteng khelhna thupha tawina leng ahi.
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
3Huan, a thupiakte jui i hih leh, huaiah amah i thei chih i kithei hi.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
4A thupiakte jui loua, Amah ka thei, chimi tuh amah mi juauthei ahi, thutak amah ah a om kei hi.
5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
5Kuapeuh a thu jui peuhmah amah ah Pathian a itna a kim petmahhi. Amah ah i om chih hiaiah i kithei ahi.
6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
6Amah ah ka om gige, chi mi tuh amah om bangin a om sam ding ahi.
7Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
7Deihtakte aw, thupiak thak jaw na kiang uah ka hon gelh keia: thupiak lui, a tunga kipana na neih uh ka hongelh jaw ahi. Huai thupiak lui tuh na thu theihsa pen uh ahi.
8Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
8Himahleh, thupiak gelh zong hi sam na veng, huai tuh amah ah leh noumau ah a lang ahi, mial a man lellel jiakin leh, vak taktak tuh tua a hongvak tak jiakin.
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
9A unau ho napia, Vakah ka om, chimi tuh tutanin leng mialah a om gige hi.
10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
10A unau itmi tuh vakah a om gige a. amah ah kipalpaihna dingsan himhim a om kei hi.
11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
11A unau homi bel mialah a oma, mialah a khosaa, mialin a mit a tawt sak jiakin a paina leng a theikei hi.
12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
12Naute aw, amah min jiaka na khelhnate uh ngaihdam a hihtak jiakin na kiang uah ka gelh ahi.
13I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
13Pate aw, amah, a tunga kipana om gige na theih jiak un na kiang uah ka gelh ahi. Tangvalte aw, Pathian thu noumau ah a om gige a, mi gilou tuh na zohtak jiak un na kiang uah ka gelh ahi. Naute aw, Pa na theih jiak un na kiang uah ka gelh ahi.
14I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
14Pate aw, amah a tunga kipana om gige na theih jiak un na kiang uah ka gelh ahi. Tangvalte aw, na hat ua, Pathian thu noumau ah a om gige a, mi gilou na zohtak jiak un na kiang uah ka gelh ahi.
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15Khovel it kei unla, khovela thil omte leng it sam kei un. Mi kuapeuhin khovel a it leh, Pa a itna amah ah a om kei hi.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16Khovela thil om tengteng, sa utnate, mit utnate, dam sung thupina limte khawng Pa akipan ahi keia, khovel akipan ahi zo ngala,
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
17Khovel, a utnate toh, a mangthang lellel ahi. Pathian deihlam hihmi bel khantawnin a om gige ding hi.
18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
18Naute aw, hun nanungpen hita e, Kris doupa a hongpai ding chih na jak bang un, tuin leng Kris doumi tampitak a hongpawtta uhi; huaijiakin hun nanungpen a hita chih i thei uhi.
19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
19Amau tuh i lak ua kipanin a pawt ua, himahleh eimah mi tak ahi kei uh; eimah mi tak hi le uh i kiang uah a om sam jel ding uh ahi ngala; himahleh a vek un eimah mi tak ahi kei vek uh chih a lat chetna dingin a hon pawtsanta uhi.
20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
20Mi siangthou kianga kipan thaunilhna na tang ua, bangkim na thei uhi.
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
21Thutak na theih louh jiak ua ka gelh ahi kei, na theih jiak uh leh, thutaka juau bangmah a pawt ngei louh jiakin ka gelh ahi jaw.
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
22Jesu tuh Kris ahi chih gingta lou mi vala juauthei kua a oma? Kris doumi tuh Pa leh Tapa gingta lou mi ahi hi.
23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
23Kuapeuh Tapa gingta louin Pa leng a sang tuan kei; Tapa gingtain bel Pa leng a sang hi.
24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
24Nou jaw, a tunga kipana na jak uh, noumau ah om sak gige un. Huai atunga kipana na jak uh noumaua a om gige leh, nou leng Tapa ah Pa ah na om gige ding uh.
25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
25Huan hiai ahi amah ngeiin thil a honchiam pen- khantawn hinna.
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
26Huai noumau honpimang tumte thu mah na kiang uah ka gelh ahi.
27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
27Nou jaw, amah kianga kipan a thaunilhna na tan uh noumau ah a om gige a, kuamah hilh na kiphamoh kei uhi; amah thaunilhnain thil tengteng thu a honhilh jawk jiakin leh, diktat ahi a, juau leng a hih louh jiakin, huaiin nou a honhilh bangin amah ah om gige un.
28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
28Huchiin naute aw, amah ah om gige un; huan, amah tuh hongkilak mahleh, a hongpaiin a mahah zum louin hangtakin i om thei ding hi.Amah tuh mi diktat ahi chih na theih uleh, mi kuapeuh diktatna hih tuh amaha suak ahi chih na thei uhi.
29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
29Amah tuh mi diktat ahi chih na theih uleh, mi kuapeuh diktatna hih tuh amaha suak ahi chih na thei uhi.
