2 Ivanova 1
1 Starješina izabranoj Gospođi i djeci njezinoj koju ja ljubim u Istini - a ne samo ja nego i svi koji upoznaše Istinu -
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 Bila s nama milost, milosrđe i mir od Boga Oca i od Sina Očeva Isusa Krista u istini i ljubavi!
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 Obradovah se veoma što sam među tvojom djecom našao takve koji hode u istini, kao što primismo zapovijed od Oca.
I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
5 I sada te molim, Gospođo, ne kao da ti novu zapovijed pišem, nego onu koju smo imali od početka: da ljubimo jedni druge.
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 A ovo je ta ljubav: da živimo po zapovijedima njegovim. To je zapovijed, kao što čuste od početka, da u njoj živite.
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 Jer iziđoše na svijet mnogi zavodnici koji ne ispovijedaju Isusa Krista koji dolazi u tijelu. To je zavodnik i Antikrist.
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 Čuvajte se da ne izgubite što ste stekli, nego da primite potpunu plaću.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Tko god pretjera i ne ostane u nauku Kristovu, nema Boga. Tko ostaje u nauku, ima i Oca i Sina.
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 Ako tko dolazi k vama i ne donosi tog nauka, ne primajte ga u kuću i ne pozdravljajte ga.
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 Jer tko ga pozdravlja, sudjeluje u njegovim zlim djelima.
For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.
12 Mnogo bih vam imao pisati, ali ne htjedoh na papiru i crnilom, nego se nadam da ću doći k vama i iz usta u usta govoriti da radost vaša bude potpuna.
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 Pozdravljaju te djeca tvoje izabrane sestre.
The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
