2 John 1
1 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.
Starešina izvoljeni gospe in njenim otrokom, ki jih ljubim v resnici; pa ne samo jaz, temveč tudi vsi tisti, ki so spoznali resnico;
zaradi resnice, ki prebiva v nas in bo za vedno z nami. (aiōn g165)
3 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.
Milost bodi z vami, usmiljenje in mir od Boga Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Očetovega Sina, v resnici in ljubezni.
4 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.
Silno sem se razveselil, da sem našel nekatere izmed tvojih otrok, ki hodijo v resnici, kakor smo prejeli zapoved od Očeta.
5 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.
In sedaj te rotim, gospa, ne kakor da sem ti napisal novo zapoved, temveč to, ki smo jo imeli od začetka, da ljubimo drug drugega.
6 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.
In to je ljubezen, da živimo po njegovih zapovedih. To je zapoved: »Da kakor ste slišali od začetka, naj bi hodili v njej.«
7 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.
Kajti mnogo sleparjev je vstopilo na svet, ki ne priznavajo, da je Jezus Kristus prišel v mesu. Ta je slepar in antikrist.
8 Take care so that you do not what we have worked for but instead receive your full reward.
Glejte nase, da ne izgubimo teh stvari, ki smo jih izvršili, temveč, da prejmemo popolno plačilo.
9 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.
Kdorkoli greši in ne ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, nima Boga. Kdor ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, ima tako Očeta kakor Sina.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive them into your house or even welcome them;
Če kdo pride k vam in vam ne prinese tega nauka, ga ne sprejmite v svojo hišo niti mu ne želite: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!«
11 because the person who welcomes them is sharing with them in his evil work.
Kajti kdor mu želi: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!« je soudeleženec njegovih zlih dejanj.
12 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.
Ker vam imam napisati mnogo stvari, ne želim pisati s papirjem in črnilom, temveč zaupam, da pridem k vam in spregovorim iz obličja v obličje, da bo naše veselje lahko popolno.
13 The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send you their greetings.
Pozdravljajo te otroci tvoje izvoljene sestre. Amen.
