2 John 1
1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who know the truth,
Na te kaumatua ki te wahine rangatira whiriwhiri ratou ko ana tamariki, e arohatia ponotia nei e ahau; ehara i te mea e ahau anake, engari e nga tangata katoa kua matau ki te pono:
He whakaaro hoki ki te pono e mau nei i roto i a tatou, a e mau ano ki a tatou ake ake: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti, na te Tama a te Matua, i runga ano i te pono, i te aroha.
4 I rejoice exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
Hari pu ahau noku i kite i etahi o au tamariki e haere ana i runga i te pono, e whakarite ana i te ture kua homai ki a tatou e te Matua.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but what we had from the beginning, that we would love each other.
Na, tenei ano taku kupu ki a koe, e tai, ehara i te ture hou taku e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koe, engari ko tera i a tatou no te timatanga, kia aroha tatou tetahi ki tetahi.
6 And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
Ko te aroha hoki tenei, kia haere tatou i runga i ana ture. Ko te ture ano tenei, kia rite ki ta koutou i rongo ai i te timatanga, hei runga i tera he haerenga mo koutou.
7 Because many deceivers have gone forth into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
He tokomaha hoki te hunga whakapohehe kua tae mai ki te ao, kahore nei i whakaae i haere mai a Ihu Karaiti i te kikokiko. Ko te kaiwhakapohehe tenei, ko te anatikaraiti.
8 Watch yourselves, so that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
Kia whai whakaaro ki a koutou ano, kei maumauria a tatou mahi, engari kia tino nui te utu e riro i a tatou.
9 Every man transgressing, and not abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, does not have God. The man abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, this man has both the Father and the Son.
Ko te tangata e poka ke ana, kahore nei e mau ki te ako a te Karaiti, kahore te Atua i a ia: ko te tangata e mau ana ki te ako a te Karaiti, kei tenei te Matua me te Tama.
10 If any man comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into a house, and do not speak to him to rejoice.
Ki te tae atu tetahi ki a koutou, ki te kore tenei ako e kawea e ia, kaua ia e puritia ki te whare, kaua ano hoki e oha ki a ia:
11 For he who speaks to him to rejoice, partakes of his evil works.
Ki te oha hoki etahi ki a ia, ka uru ia ki ana mahi kino.
12 Having many things, I did not want to write to you by paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, so that our joy may be filled.
He maha nga mea hei tuhituhinga atu maku ki a koutou, heoi kihai ahau i pai kia tuhia atu ki te pepa, ki te mangumangu: engari e mea ana ahau tera ahau e haere atu ki a koutou, a ka korero atu, he mangai, he mangai, kia tino nui ai to tatou hari.
13 The children of thy chosen sister salute thee. Truly.
Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koe nga tamariki a tou teina whiriwhiri. Amine.
