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—
he abhirucite kuriye, tvāṁ tava putrāṁśca prati prācīno'haṁ patraṁ likhāmi|
satyamatād yuṣmāsu mama premāsti kevalaṁ mama nahi kintu satyamatajñānāṁ sarvveṣāmeva| yataḥ satyamatam asmāsu tiṣṭhatyanantakālaṁ yāvaccāsmāsu sthāsyati| (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.
piturīśvarāt tatpituḥ putrāt prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭācca prāpyo 'nugrahaḥ kṛpā śāntiśca satyatāpremabhyāṁ sārddhaṁ yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhatu|
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
vayaṁ pitṛto yām ājñāṁ prāptavantastadanusāreṇa tava kecid ātmajāḥ satyamatam ācarantyetasya pramāṇaṁ prāpyāhaṁ bhṛśam ānanditavān|
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.
sāmpratañca he kuriye, navīnāṁ kāñcid ājñāṁ na likhannaham ādito labdhām ājñāṁ likhan tvām idaṁ vinaye yad asmābhiḥ parasparaṁ prema karttavyaṁ|
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.
aparaṁ premaitena prakāśate yad vayaṁ tasyājñā ācarema| ādito yuṣmābhi ryā śrutā seyam ājñā sā ca yuṣmābhirācaritavyā|
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.
yato bahavaḥ pravañcakā jagat praviśya yīśukhrīṣṭo narāvatāro bhūtvāgata etat nāṅgīkurvvanti sa eva pravañcakaḥ khrīṣṭāriścāsti|
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
asmākaṁ śramo yat paṇḍaśramo na bhavet kintu sampūrṇaṁ vetanamasmābhi rlabhyeta tadarthaṁ svānadhi sāvadhānā bhavataḥ|
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.
yaḥ kaścid vipathagāmī bhūtvā khrīṣṭasya śikṣāyāṁ na tiṣṭhati sa īśvaraṁ na dhārayati khrīṣṭasya śijñāyāṁ yastiṣṭhati sa pitaraṁ putrañca dhārayati|
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
yaḥ kaścid yuṣmatsannidhimāgacchan śikṣāmenāṁ nānayati sa yuṣmābhiḥ svaveśmani na gṛhyatāṁ tava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vāgapi tasmai na kathyatāṁ|
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
yatastava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vācaṁ yaḥ kaścit tasmai kathayati sa tasya duṣkarmmaṇām aṁśī bhavati|
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.
yuṣmān prati mayā bahūni lekhitavyāni kintu patramasībhyāṁ tat karttuṁ necchāmi, yato 'smākam ānando yathā sampūrṇo bhaviṣyati tathā yuṣmatsamīpamupasthāyāhaṁ sammukhībhūya yuṣmābhiḥ sambhāṣiṣya iti pratyāśā mamāste|
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
tavābhirucitāyā bhaginyā bālakāstvāṁ namaskāraṁ jñāpayanti| āmen|
