Jāņa 2. Vēstule 1
1 Tas vecākais tai izredzētai mātei un viņas bērniem, ko es patiesi mīlēju, un ne vien es, bet arī visi, kas patiesību atzinuši,
From the elder, to the lady chosen by God and her children. I truly love you all, and I am not the only one but all who know the truth love you as well.
We love you for the sake of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Žēlastība, apžēlošana, miers lai ir ar jums no Dieva Tā Tēva un no Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus, Tā Tēva Dēla, iekš patiesības un mīlestības.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be ours – the gift of God, the Father, and of Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son – in truth and love.
4 Es ļoti esmu priecājies, ka tavu bērnu starpā esmu atradis, kas staigā iekš patiesības, tā kā mēs bausli esam dabūjuši no Tā Tēva.
It was a great joy to me to find the lives of some of your children guided by the truth, in obedience to the command that we received from the Father.
5 Un nu es tevi lūdzu, māte, ne tā kā jaunu bausli tev rakstīdams, bet kas mums no iesākuma bijis: lai mēs cits citu mīlējam.
And now I implore you, dear lady, let us love one another This is not a new command I am writing to you. It is the command we have had from the beginning. – Let us love one another.
6 Un šī ir tā mīlestība, ka staigājam pēc Viņa baušļiem; šis ir tas bauslis, ka iekš tā staigājiet, kā no iesākuma esat dzirdējuši.
And this is love – to live in obedience to the Father’s commands. This is the command as you learned from the beginning, to live a life of love.
7 Jo daudz viltnieki ir nākuši pasaulē, kas neapliecina Jēzu Kristu esam nākušu miesā. Šis ir tas viltnieks un tas pretī-kristus.
I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world – men who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in flesh and blood. Any such person is a deceiver and antichrist.
8 Lūkojiet uz sevi pašiem, ka nezaudējam, ko esam strādājuši, bet ka dabūjam pilnu algu.
Take care so that you do not what we have worked for but instead receive your full reward.
9 Nevienam, kas ir pārkāpējs un nepaliek iekš Kristus mācības, nav Dieva: kas iekš Kristus mācības paliek, tam ir Tas Tēvs un Tas Dēls.
Anyone who goes beyond and fails to live inside of the teaching of Christ does not have God. The person who lives inside that teaching – they have both the Father and the Son.
10 Ja kas nāk pie jums un šo mācību nenes, to neuzņemiet mājās un nesveicinājiet.
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive them into your house or even welcome them;
11 Jo kas viņu sveicina, tam ir daļa pie viņa ļauniem darbiem.
because the person who welcomes them is sharing with them in his evil work.
12 Man vēl ir daudz ko jums rakstīt; bet es negribēju uz papīra un ar tinti; bet es ceru pie jums nākt un muti pret muti runāt, lai mūsu prieks ir pilnīgs.
Though I have many other things to tell you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come and see you, and to speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Tavas māsas, tās izredzētās, bērni tevi sveicina. Āmen.
The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send you their greetings.
