2 John 1
1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
Mama boꞌi! Susura ia mia au, Yohanis, mana nalalao nggareiꞌ. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee mama, fo Lamatualain pili nala dadꞌi atahorin ena, ma fee mama ana nara boe. Au sue-lai basa hei fo rala mana nenepaꞌaꞌ no dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra. Basa atahori laen mana rahine dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra, sue-lai nggi boe.
Hai sue-lai nggi, huu dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra neneselaꞌ sia rala tara, ma dei fo rasodꞌa rakandoo sia hita e. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain, no Anan, Yesus Kristus, ratudꞌu rala malole nara ma rala susue nara neu nggita, fo ata bisa tasodꞌa no mole-dame, esa sue-lai esa, ma nenepaꞌa takandoo to dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra.
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
Au umuhoꞌo ala seli, leleꞌ undaa o mama ana nara ruma, ma ita masodꞌa nara malolole, tungga dala masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ, onaꞌ Amaꞌ Lamatualain fee parendan neu nggita ena.
5 And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
Mama boꞌi! Leleꞌ ia au oꞌe fo basa nggita tasodꞌa no susue-lalaiꞌ, au oꞌoꞌe ngga naa, nda parenda feuꞌ sa, te au feeꞌ a nesenedꞌaꞌ sia parendaꞌ fo hita toꞌu memaꞌ mia fefeun.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
Hita bisa tatudꞌu susue-lalaiꞌ tara, mete ma ata tao tungga Lamatualain parenda nara. Eniꞌ a mia lele uluꞌ a, Ana parenda nggita fo tasodꞌa esa sue-lai esa. Ia nda dꞌala feuꞌ sa, te hei rena parendaꞌ ia eniꞌ lele uluꞌ a.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Mana peko-lelekoꞌ hetar lao ndule raefafoꞌ ia ena. Ara ranori rae, Yesus Kristus nema sia raefafoꞌ ia, te Eni nda atahori tetebꞌes sa. Sira o, mana peko-lelekoꞌ mana labꞌan Kristus, ma nda nau simbo rae, Yesus naa, naeni Kristus sa, fo Lamatualain pili nala memaꞌ eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
Minea matalolole, fo bebꞌengge tara afi mopo hendi se. Dadꞌi hei musi manggate tao ues mikindoo, fo ama bisa hambu basa papala-babꞌanggin fo Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuliꞌ nae fee nggi sia sorga.
9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Te atahori mana lao hela Kristus nenorin, eni nda neꞌebꞌue no Lamatualain sa. Te atahori mana toꞌu nahereꞌ nenoriꞌ naa ra, eni naꞌabꞌue no Lamatualain, ma Anan, Yesus Kristus.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
Mete ma hambu atahori rema ranori dala-dala nda matetuꞌ soꞌal Kristus, na, afiꞌ simbo e sia ume mara, ma afiꞌ taoafiꞌ neu e.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
Te mete ma taoafiꞌ neu e, na, hei tungga ue-tatao deꞌulaka nara ena.
12 I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
Au feꞌe ae ufadꞌe dalaꞌ hetar neu nggi, te malole lenaꞌ au afi suraꞌ neu susura. Huu nda dooꞌ sa te, au ae eti ola-olaꞌ memaꞌ o nggi, fo basa nggita tamahoꞌo ona esaꞌ.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
Lamatualain pili nala mama aꞌa inan boe. Ana ara haitua hara maloleꞌ fee mama se sia naa. Baꞌu a naa ena. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yohanis.
