< 2 John 1 >

1 The elder to the chosen lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth,
hē abhirucitē kuriyē, tvāṁ tava putrāṁśca prati prācīnō'haṁ patraṁ likhāmi|
2 because of the truth that is remaining in us, and will be with us throughout the age, (aiōn g165)
satyamatād yuṣmāsu mama prēmāsti kēvalaṁ mama nahi kintu satyamatajñānāṁ sarvvēṣāmēva| yataḥ satyamatam asmāsu tiṣṭhatyanantakālaṁ yāvaccāsmāsu sthāsyati| (aiōn g165)
3 there will be with you grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
piturīśvarāt tatpituḥ putrāt prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭācca prāpyō 'nugrahaḥ kr̥pā śāntiśca satyatāprēmabhyāṁ sārddhaṁ yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhatu|
4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;
vayaṁ pitr̥tō yām ājñāṁ prāptavantastadanusārēṇa tava kēcid ātmajāḥ satyamatam ācarantyētasya pramāṇaṁ prāpyāhaṁ bhr̥śam ānanditavān|
5 and now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may 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, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it,
aparaṁ prēmaitēna prakāśatē yad vayaṁ tasyājñā ācarēma| āditō yuṣmābhi ryā śrutā sēyam ājñā sā ca yuṣmābhirācaritavyā|
7 because many deceivers entered into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.
yatō bahavaḥ pravañcakā jagat praviśya yīśukhrīṣṭō narāvatārō bhūtvāgata ētat nāṅgīkurvvanti sa ēva pravañcakaḥ khrīṣṭāriścāsti|
8 See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
asmākaṁ śramō yat paṇḍaśramō na bhavēt kintu sampūrṇaṁ vētanamasmābhi rlabhyēta tadarthaṁ svānadhi sāvadhānā bhavataḥ|
9 everyone who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, does not have God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one 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, and does not bear this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not say to him, “Greetings!”
yaḥ kaścid yuṣmatsannidhimāgacchan śikṣāmēnāṁ nānayati sa yuṣmābhiḥ svavēśmani na gr̥hyatāṁ tava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vāgapi tasmai na kathyatāṁ|
11 For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
yatastava maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vācaṁ yaḥ kaścit tasmai kathayati sa tasya duṣkarmmaṇām aṁśī bhavati|
12 Having many things to write to you, I did not intend [it] with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, 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 chosen sister greet you. Amen.
tavābhirucitāyā bhaginyā bālakāstvāṁ namaskāraṁ jñāpayanti| āmēn|
