< 2 John 1 >

1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know 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 remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (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, mercy, and peace will be with us, 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 rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by 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 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, 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 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you 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 have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the 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 Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, 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 Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has 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 anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
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 who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
Te mete ma taoafiꞌ neu e, na, hei tungga ue-tatao deꞌulaka nara ena.
12 Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made 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 your chosen sister greet you. 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.
