Akluo John 1
1 Ma sel Mwet Elder — Nu sin sie Mutan Saok ac tulik natul, su nga lungse na pwaye. Ac tia nga mukena, a elos nukewa su etu ma pwaye, elos lungse pac kowos,
The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.
I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Lungkulang, pakoten, ac misla, sin God Papa ac sin Jesus Christ, Wen nutin God, in oan in kut su etu ma pwaye ac su lungse sie sin sie.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
4 Nga arulana engan ke nga konauk lah kutu sin tulik nutum uh mutana in ma pwaye, oana ke Papa El sapkin nu sesr uh.
I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Ke ma inge nga kwafe sum, Mutan Saok, lela kut nukewa in lungse sie sin sie. Tia ma sap sasu se pa nga simis inge — nuna ma sap se ma tuh oan yorosr oe ke mutawauk ah me.
And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.
6 Kalmen lungse se nga fahk inge pa kut in moul in akos ma sap lun God. Ac pa inge ma sap lal, oana ma kowos lohng ke mutawauk me, tuh kowos nukewa in moulkin moul in lungse.
And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.
7 Mwet kutasrik puspis fahsrelik tari nu fin faclu in kiapu mwet uh. Mwet inge pa elos su tia lulalfongi lah Jesus Christ el tuku in luman mwet. Kain in mwet ouinge mwet kikiap, ac Mwet Lain Christ.
I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Kowos in taran tuh ma nukewa kut tukeni kwafe kut nu kac in tia wangin sripa, a kowos in eis nufon ma God El akoo nu suwos.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Kutena mwet su tia sruokyana mwe luti lun Christ a el som alukela, God El wangin yorol. Ac elos nukewa su mutana in mwe luti lal uh, Papa ac Wen tukeni na oasr yorol.
Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.
10 Ke ma inge kutena mwet fin tuku nu yuruwos ac tia luti ke mwe luti se inge, nimet eisal nu in lohm suwos uh, ac tia pac paingul.
If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.
11 Tuh kutena mwet su paing mwet ouinge, elos mwet ipeis ke orekma koluk lal.
For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.
12 Pus pac ma nga ke fahk nu suwos, tuh nga tia lungse simis ke ink ac pwepu. Nga finsrak nga in osun nu suwos ac sifacna sramsram nu suwos, tuh kut nukewa fah arulana engan.
I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Tulik nutin Mutan Saok pac wiom elos supu lung lalos nu sum.
The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
