2 John 1
1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
Starešina izvoljeni gospe in njenim otrokom, ki jih ljubim v resnici; pa ne samo jaz, temveč tudi vsi tisti, ki so spoznali resnico;
zaradi resnice, ki prebiva v nas in bo za vedno z nami. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Milost bodi z vami, usmiljenje in mir od Boga Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Očetovega Sina, v resnici in ljubezni.
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
Silno sem se razveselil, da sem našel nekatere izmed tvojih otrok, ki hodijo v resnici, kakor smo prejeli zapoved od Očeta.
5 And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
In sedaj te rotim, gospa, ne kakor da sem ti napisal novo zapoved, temveč to, ki smo jo imeli od začetka, da ljubimo drug drugega.
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
In to je ljubezen, da živimo po njegovih zapovedih. To je zapoved: »Da kakor ste slišali od začetka, naj bi hodili v njej.«
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
Kajti mnogo sleparjev je vstopilo na svet, ki ne priznavajo, da je Jezus Kristus prišel v mesu. Ta je slepar in antikrist.
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
Glejte nase, da ne izgubimo teh stvari, ki smo jih izvršili, temveč, da prejmemo popolno plačilo.
9 Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
Kdorkoli greši in ne ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, nima Boga. Kdor ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, ima tako Očeta kakor Sina.
10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
Če kdo pride k vam in vam ne prinese tega nauka, ga ne sprejmite v svojo hišo niti mu ne želite: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!«
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
Kajti kdor mu želi: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!« je soudeleženec njegovih zlih dejanj.
12 Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
Ker vam imam napisati mnogo stvari, ne želim pisati s papirjem in črnilom, temveč zaupam, da pridem k vam in spregovorim iz obličja v obličje, da bo naše veselje lahko popolno.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
Pozdravljajo te otroci tvoje izvoljene sestre. Amen.
