2 John 1
1 This letter comes from the elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth. Not just from me, but from everyone who knows the truth,
Starejšina gospé izvoljeni in otrokom njenim, katere jaz ljubim v resnici, (in ne jaz sam, nego tudi vsi, ki so spoznali resnico),
Po resnici, katera ostaja v nas, in z nami bode vekomaj; (aiōn g165)
3 May grace, mercy and peace continue to be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
Z vami bode milost, usmiljenje, mir od Boga očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, sina očetovega, v resnici in ljubezni.
4 I was delighted to discover that some of your children are following the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
Veselil sem se močno, ker sem našel izmed otrok tvojih, ki hodijo v resnici, kakor smo zapoved dobili od očeta.
5 Now I'm telling you, dear lady, not as a new instruction, but following what we've understood from the beginning, that we should love one another.
In sedaj te prosim, pospá, ne da bi ti pisal novo zapoved, nego katero smo imeli od začetka, da se ljubimo med seboj.
6 This is what love is: we should follow God's commands. The command, just as you heard right from the beginning, is that you should live in love.
In to je ljubezen, da živimo po zapovedih njegovih. To je zapoved, kakor ste slišali od začetka, da v njej živite;
7 I'm telling you this because many deceivers have left and gone out into the world. They don't accept that Jesus Christ has come as a human being. Anyone like this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Ker mnogi sleparji prišli so na svet, kateri ne spoznavajo Jezusa Kristusa, da je prišel v mesu. Ta je slepar in protikrist.
8 Be careful that you don't lose what we've worked so hard for, and that you receive all that you should.
Pazite, da ne izgubimo, kar smo pridelali, nego dobimo polno plačilo.
9 All those who become extremists and don't continue to follow the teaching of Christ don't have God with them. Those who continue to follow the teaching of Christ have both the Father and the Son with them.
Vsak, kdor prestopa in ne ostaja v uku Kristusovem, nima Boga; kdor ostaja v uku Kristusovem, ta ima očeta in sina.
10 If people come to you and don't show evidence of Christ's teaching, don't take them in, don't welcome them—
Če kdo pride k vam, in ne prinese tega uka, ne sprejemajte ga v hišo, in ne pozdravljajte ga;
11 for if you encourage them you share in their evil work.
Kajti kdor ga pozdravlja, udeležuje se hudobnih del njegovih.
12 I have so many things to tell you that I won't write any more with paper and ink, for I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face. How happy that would make us!
Mnogo sem imel vam pisati, a nisem hotel s papirjem in črnilom; ali upam priti k vam, in iz ust do ust govoriti, da bode veselje vaše popolno.
13 Greetings to you from the children of your chosen sister.
Pozdravljajo te otroci sestre tvoje izvoljene. Amen.
