< 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,
Mama boꞌi! Susura ia mia au, Yohanis, mana nalalao nggareiꞌ. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee mama, fo Lamatualain pili nala dadꞌi atahorin ena, ma fee mama ana nara boe. Au sue-lai basa hei fo rala mana nenepaꞌaꞌ no dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra. Basa atahori laen mana rahine dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra, sue-lai nggi boe.
2 because of the truth that is remaining in us, and will be with us throughout the age, (aiōn g165)
Hai sue-lai nggi, huu dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra neneselaꞌ sia rala tara, ma dei fo rasodꞌa rakandoo sia hita e. (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.
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain, no Anan, Yesus Kristus, ratudꞌu rala malole nara ma rala susue nara neu nggita, fo ata bisa tasodꞌa no mole-dame, esa sue-lai esa, ma nenepaꞌa takandoo to dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra.
4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;
Au umuhoꞌo ala seli, leleꞌ undaa o mama ana nara ruma, ma ita masodꞌa nara malolole, tungga dala masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ, onaꞌ Amaꞌ Lamatualain fee parendan neu nggita ena.
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,
Mama boꞌi! Leleꞌ ia au oꞌe fo basa nggita tasodꞌa no susue-lalaiꞌ, au oꞌoꞌe ngga naa, nda parenda feuꞌ sa, te au feeꞌ a nesenedꞌaꞌ sia parendaꞌ fo hita toꞌu memaꞌ mia fefeun.
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,
Hita bisa tatudꞌu susue-lalaiꞌ tara, mete ma ata tao tungga Lamatualain parenda nara. Eniꞌ a mia lele uluꞌ a, Ana parenda nggita fo tasodꞌa esa sue-lai esa. Ia nda dꞌala feuꞌ sa, te hei rena parendaꞌ ia eniꞌ lele uluꞌ a.
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.
Mana peko-lelekoꞌ hetar lao ndule raefafoꞌ ia ena. Ara ranori rae, Yesus Kristus nema sia raefafoꞌ ia, te Eni nda atahori tetebꞌes sa. Sira o, mana peko-lelekoꞌ mana labꞌan Kristus, ma nda nau simbo rae, Yesus naa, naeni Kristus sa, fo Lamatualain pili nala memaꞌ eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a.
8 See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
Minea matalolole, fo bebꞌengge tara afi mopo hendi se. Dadꞌi hei musi manggate tao ues mikindoo, fo ama bisa hambu basa papala-babꞌanggin fo Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuliꞌ nae fee nggi sia sorga.
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;
Te atahori mana lao hela Kristus nenorin, eni nda neꞌebꞌue no Lamatualain sa. Te atahori mana toꞌu nahereꞌ nenoriꞌ naa ra, eni naꞌabꞌue no Lamatualain, ma Anan, Yesus Kristus.
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!”
Mete ma hambu atahori rema ranori dala-dala nda matetuꞌ soꞌal Kristus, na, afiꞌ simbo e sia ume mara, ma afiꞌ taoafiꞌ neu e.
11 For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
Te mete ma taoafiꞌ neu e, na, hei tungga ue-tatao deꞌulaka nara ena.
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.
Au feꞌe ae ufadꞌe dalaꞌ hetar neu nggi, te malole lenaꞌ au afi suraꞌ neu susura. Huu nda dooꞌ sa te, au ae eti ola-olaꞌ memaꞌ o nggi, fo basa nggita tamahoꞌo ona esaꞌ.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
Lamatualain pili nala mama aꞌa inan boe. Ana ara haitua hara maloleꞌ fee mama se sia naa. Baꞌu a naa ena. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yohanis.
