2 John 1
1 [You all know me as] the [chief] Elder. [I am writing this letter] to all of you [MET] in your congregation. [God has] chosen [you], and I love you truly! Not only do I myself love you, but all those who know [and accept the] true message [that Jesus taught] also love you!
Tape ciimazappe; tumappe ta dosiza doretida godateysinne izi naytas, tana xala gidonta tumu erizayti wuri dosizaris, kitetida kita;
2 All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn g165)
Gasoykka haysi tummay ha7ikka nu giddon dizaysanne sinthafekka medhinas danaysakko. (aiōn g165)
3 God the Father and Jesus Christ, who is (his Son/the man who is also God), will continue [to act] kindly and mercifully [toward us because they] love [us. They will enable us to have inner] peace, [because we believe] their true message.
Xoossa awappenne iza na Yesuss Kirstosappe Kiyatethi, marotethiine saroy tumanine siqqon nunara giido.
4 I am very happy because I learned about some of you [SYN] who are conducting your lives in a manner that is (consistent/in accordance) with [God’s] true message. You are doing that just like our Father [God] commanded us [to do].
Ne naytape bagati aawape nus imetida azazoza mala tuman miini dizayta ta beyida gish daro ufa7istadis.
5 And now, dear congregation [MET], [there is something that] I am requesting you [to do]. I am writing this not to command that you do something new, but [that you continue to do] what God commanded when we first began [MTY] [to believe his true message. What he commanded] is that we love each other.
Ha7ikka Godateye, kassepeka dizaro attiin ta nes hara ooratha azazo xafikke; hesiikka nu nu garsan siqistanaysakko.
6 And [we really/truly] are loving [God] when we are conducting our lives in accordance with whatever he commands [us to do]. What he commands us to do is to continue [to love one another]. That is exactly what you heard when you first began [MTY] [to believe God’s true message].
He siqoykka nu iza azazoza mala danaysako. Azazozikka inte koyro siyda mala siqqon deyana malako.
7 Many people who deceive [others have left your congregation and] have now gone out among other people who are [in your area] [MTY]. They are the ones who (do not acknowledge/refuse to say) that Jesus Christ became human. They are the very ones who deceive [people] and oppose [what we teach about] Christ.
Yesus Kirstossay asa asho maydi yibeyna giza amanonta daro balethizayti alame bolla laletida. Heyta malay ay assikka as ballethizadene Kirstosara eqetizadeko.
8 [So] be sure that [you do not let those teachers deceive you]! If you let them deceive you, you will lose [the reward] which we, [together with you], have been working for, and you will not receive the complete reward [of being eternally united to God]!
Inte gidikko inte dabura wagape mella atontamalanne kumetha woyytto ekana mala inte hu7es nagetite.
9 Those who change what Christ taught and do not continue [to believe] what he taught do not have [a relationship with] God. [But] those who continue to believe [what Christ] taught have [a close relationship with] both [God, our] Father, and with (his Son/the one who is also God).
Kirstossa timrte mala donta urayinne iza tmirteppe baletidi kare keziza ura oonanikka Xoossi deena. Kirstosa timrten dizadey gidiko izas aawayne aawa nay deetes.
10 So when anyone comes to you who teaches something different from [what Christ] taught, do not welcome him into your homes! Do not [encourage him by] (wishing him well/greeting him as a fellow believer) [in any way]!
Oonikka intekko yishe hessa he timrteza ekii yonta ura mokkii ekofiitene saro gopiite.
11 [I say that] because if you treat people like that as you would treat a fellow believer, [God will punish you] along with them for the evil that they do.
Moki ekiddii ba so gelthizadey he ura oothon izara isino gidees.
12 [Even though] I have much [more that I want] to tell you, I have decided not [to say it] in a letter [MTY]. Instead, I expect to be with you [soon] and talk directly with you. Then we can be completely joyful [together].
Ta intes xafanas koyza daro miish des shin waraqataninne qalamen xafana mala koyke. Gidiikokka nu ufaysay kumeth gidana mala ta inteko bada inte sinthan intenara hasa7anas ufays oothays.
13 Your fellow believers here [MET], ones whom [God] has also chosen, (send their greetings to you/say that they are thinking affectionately about you).
Doretidari naytii ne miicheyi nayti nena saro geetes.
