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!
Mula sa nakatatanda hanggang sa piniling babae at sa kanyang mga anak, na siyang minamahal ko sa katotohanan, at hindi lamang ako, kundi lahat din ng mga sinumang nakakaalam ng katotohanan,
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)
dahil sa katotohanan na nananatili sa atin at mapapasaatin magpakailanman. (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.
Biyaya, habag, at kapayapaan ay mapapasaatin mula sa Diyos na Ama at mula kay Jesu-Cristo, ang Anak ng Ama, sa katotohanan at pag-ibig.
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].
Ako ay lubos na nagagalak na nakita ko ang iba mong mga anak na lumalakad sa katotohanan, tulad ng aming pagtanggap sa kautusang ito galing sa Ama.
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.
At ngayon ako ay nagsusumamo sa iyo, ginang, hindi na parang ako ay sumulat sa iyo ng bagong kautusan, pero ang mayroon na tayo mula pa sa simula, na dapat nating ibigin ang bawat isa.
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].
At ito ang pag-ibig, na dapat tayong lumakad ayon sa kanyang mga kautusan. Ito ang kautusan, kahit narinig ninyo na mula sa simula, na dapat ninyo itong lakaran.
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.
Sapagkat maraming manlilinlang ang naglipana sa mundo, at hindi nila ipinapahayag na si Jesu-Cristo ay dumating sa laman. Ito ay ang manlilinlang at ang anticristo.
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]!
Tingnan ang inyong mga sarili, upang hindi ninyo mawala ang mga bagay na pinagtrabahuhan nating lahat, pero nang sa gayon kayo ay maaaring makatanggap ng buong gantimpala.
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).
Kung sinuman ang nauuna at hindi nananatili sa katuruan ni Cristo ay walang Diyos. Siya na nananatili sa katuruan ay nasa kanya pareho ang Ama at ang Anak.
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]!
Kung sinuman ang lumapit sa inyo at hindi dala ang katuruang ito, huwag ninyo siyang tanggapin sa inyong bahay at huwag ninyo siyang batiin.
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.
Sapagkat ang sinumang bumabati sa kaniya ay nakikisali sa kaniyang mga masasamang gawa.
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].
Marami akong mga bagay na isusulat sa inyo at hindi ko nais na isulat ang mga ito sa pamamagitan ng papel at tinta. Pero umaasa akong pumunta sa inyo at makipag-usap ng harap-harapan, upang ang ating kaligayahan ay maging lubos.
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).
Ang mga anak nang pinili ninyong kapatid na babae ay bumabati sa inyo.
