2 John 1
1 The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known 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 the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love.
piturīśvarāt tatpituḥ putrāt prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭācca prāpyo 'nugrahaḥ kṛpā śāntiśca satyatāpremabhyāṁ sārddhaṁ yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhatu|
4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
vayaṁ pitṛto yām ājñāṁ prāptavantastadanusāreṇa tava kecid ātmajāḥ satyamatam ācarantyetasya pramāṇaṁ prāpyāhaṁ bhṛśam ānanditavān|
5 And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have 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 the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it.
aparaṁ premaitena prakāśate yad vayaṁ tasyājñā ācarema| ādito yuṣmābhi ryā śrutā seyam ājñā sā ca yuṣmābhirācaritavyā|
7 Now many deceivers have come into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in flesh—this is the deceiver, even the Antichrist!
yato bahavaḥ pravañcakā jagat praviśya yīśukhrīṣṭo narāvatāro bhūtvāgata etat nāṅgīkurvvanti sa eva pravañcakaḥ khrīṣṭāriścāsti|
8 Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward.
asmākaṁ śramo yat paṇḍaśramo na bhavet kintu sampūrṇaṁ vetanamasmābhi rlabhyeta tadarthaṁ svānadhi sāvadhānā bhavataḥ|
9 Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ's teaching does have 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 and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,”
yaḥ kaścid yuṣmatsannidhimāgacchan śikṣāmenāṁ nānayati sa yuṣmābhiḥ svaveśmani na gṛhyatāṁ tava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vāgapi tasmai na kathyatāṁ|
11 because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works.
yatastava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vācaṁ yaḥ kaścit tasmai kathayati sa tasya duṣkarmmaṇām aṁśī bhavati|
12 Although I had many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and speak 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 greet you. Amen.
tavābhirucitāyā bhaginyā bālakāstvāṁ namaskāraṁ jñāpayanti| āmen|
