< 2 John 1 >

1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
Mama boꞌi! Susura ia mia au, Yohanis, mana nalalao nggareiꞌ. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee mama, fo Lamatualain pili nala dadꞌi atahorin ena, ma fee mama ana nara boe. Au sue-lai basa hei fo rala mana nenepaꞌaꞌ no dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra. Basa atahori laen mana rahine dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra, sue-lai nggi boe.
2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
Hai sue-lai nggi, huu dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra neneselaꞌ sia rala tara, ma dei fo rasodꞌa rakandoo sia hita e. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain, no Anan, Yesus Kristus, ratudꞌu rala malole nara ma rala susue nara neu nggita, fo ata bisa tasodꞌa no mole-dame, esa sue-lai esa, ma nenepaꞌa takandoo to dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
Au umuhoꞌo ala seli, leleꞌ undaa o mama ana nara ruma, ma ita masodꞌa nara malolole, tungga dala masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ, onaꞌ Amaꞌ Lamatualain fee parendan neu nggita ena.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Mama boꞌi! Leleꞌ ia au oꞌe fo basa nggita tasodꞌa no susue-lalaiꞌ, au oꞌoꞌe ngga naa, nda parenda feuꞌ sa, te au feeꞌ a nesenedꞌaꞌ sia parendaꞌ fo hita toꞌu memaꞌ mia fefeun.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
Hita bisa tatudꞌu susue-lalaiꞌ tara, mete ma ata tao tungga Lamatualain parenda nara. Eniꞌ a mia lele uluꞌ a, Ana parenda nggita fo tasodꞌa esa sue-lai esa. Ia nda dꞌala feuꞌ sa, te hei rena parendaꞌ ia eniꞌ lele uluꞌ a.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Mana peko-lelekoꞌ hetar lao ndule raefafoꞌ ia ena. Ara ranori rae, Yesus Kristus nema sia raefafoꞌ ia, te Eni nda atahori tetebꞌes sa. Sira o, mana peko-lelekoꞌ mana labꞌan Kristus, ma nda nau simbo rae, Yesus naa, naeni Kristus sa, fo Lamatualain pili nala memaꞌ eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Minea matalolole, fo bebꞌengge tara afi mopo hendi se. Dadꞌi hei musi manggate tao ues mikindoo, fo ama bisa hambu basa papala-babꞌanggin fo Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuliꞌ nae fee nggi sia sorga.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Te atahori mana lao hela Kristus nenorin, eni nda neꞌebꞌue no Lamatualain sa. Te atahori mana toꞌu nahereꞌ nenoriꞌ naa ra, eni naꞌabꞌue no Lamatualain, ma Anan, Yesus Kristus.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:
Mete ma hambu atahori rema ranori dala-dala nda matetuꞌ soꞌal Kristus, na, afiꞌ simbo e sia ume mara, ma afiꞌ taoafiꞌ neu e.
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Te mete ma taoafiꞌ neu e, na, hei tungga ue-tatao deꞌulaka nara ena.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Au feꞌe ae ufadꞌe dalaꞌ hetar neu nggi, te malole lenaꞌ au afi suraꞌ neu susura. Huu nda dooꞌ sa te, au ae eti ola-olaꞌ memaꞌ o nggi, fo basa nggita tamahoꞌo ona esaꞌ.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
Lamatualain pili nala mama aꞌa inan boe. Ana ara haitua hara maloleꞌ fee mama se sia naa. Baꞌu a naa ena. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yohanis.
