< 2 John 1 >
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
hē abhirucitē kuriyē, tvāṁ tava putrāṁśca prati prācīnō'haṁ patraṁ likhāmi|
2 For the truth's sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn )
satyamatād yuṣmāsu mama prēmāsti kēvalaṁ mama nahi kintu satyamatajñānāṁ sarvvēṣāmēva| yataḥ satyamatam asmāsu tiṣṭhatyanantakālaṁ yāvaccāsmāsu sthāsyati| (aiōn )
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. (agape)
piturīśvarāt tatpituḥ putrāt prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭācca prāpyō 'nugrahaḥ kr̥pā śāntiśca satyatāprēmabhyāṁ sārddhaṁ yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhatu|
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
vayaṁ pitr̥tō yām ājñāṁ prāptavantastadanusārēṇa tava kēcid ātmajāḥ satyamatam ācarantyētasya pramāṇaṁ prāpyāhaṁ bhr̥śam ānanditavān|
5 And now I plead to you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
sāmpratañca hē kuriyē, navīnāṁ kāñcid ājñāṁ na likhannaham āditō labdhām ājñāṁ likhan tvām idaṁ vinayē yad asmābhiḥ parasparaṁ prēma karttavyaṁ|
6 And this is love, (agape) that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as all of you have heard from the beginning, all of you should walk in it.
aparaṁ prēmaitēna prakāśatē yad vayaṁ tasyājñā ācarēma| āditō yuṣmābhi ryā śrutā sēyam ājñā sā ca yuṣmābhirācaritavyā|
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
yatō bahavaḥ pravañcakā jagat praviśya yīśukhrīṣṭō narāvatārō bhūtvāgata ētat nāṅgīkurvvanti sa ēva pravañcakaḥ khrīṣṭāriścāsti|
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
asmākaṁ śramō yat paṇḍaśramō na bhavēt kintu sampūrṇaṁ vētanamasmābhi rlabhyēta tadarthaṁ svānadhi sāvadhānā bhavataḥ|
9 Whosoever trangresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he 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 there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
yaḥ kaścid yuṣmatsannidhimāgacchan śikṣāmēnāṁ nānayati sa yuṣmābhiḥ svavēśmani na gr̥hyatāṁ tava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vāgapi tasmai na kathyatāṁ|
11 For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
yatastava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vācaṁ yaḥ kaścit tasmai kathayati sa tasya duṣkarmmaṇām aṁśī bhavati|
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
yuṣmān prati mayā bahūni lēkhitavyāni kintu patramasībhyāṁ tat karttuṁ nēcchāmi, yatō 'smākam ānandō yathā sampūrṇō bhaviṣyati tathā yuṣmatsamīpamupasthāyāhaṁ sammukhībhūya yuṣmābhiḥ sambhāṣiṣya iti pratyāśā mamāstē|
13 The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
