< 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!

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)

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.

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].

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.
ਸਾਮ੍ਪ੍ਰਤਞ੍ਚ ਹੇ ਕੁਰਿਯੇ, ਨਵੀਨਾਂ ਕਾਞ੍ਚਿਦ੍ ਆਜ੍ਞਾਂ ਨ ਲਿਖੰਨਹਮ੍ ਆਦਿਤੋ ਲਬ੍ਧਾਮ੍ ਆਜ੍ਞਾਂ ਲਿਖਨ੍ ਤ੍ਵਾਮ੍ ਇਦੰ ਵਿਨਯੇ ਯਦ੍ ਅਸ੍ਮਾਭਿਃ ਪਰਸ੍ਪਰੰ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕਰ੍ੱਤਵ੍ਯੰ|
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].

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.
ਯਤੋ ਬਹਵਃ ਪ੍ਰਵਞ੍ਚਕਾ ਜਗਤ੍ ਪ੍ਰਵਿਸ਼੍ਯ ਯੀਸ਼ੁਖ੍ਰੀਸ਼਼੍ਟੋ ਨਰਾਵਤਾਰੋ ਭੂਤ੍ਵਾਗਤ ਏਤਤ੍ ਨਾਙ੍ਗੀਕੁਰ੍ੱਵਨ੍ਤਿ ਸ ਏਵ ਪ੍ਰਵਞ੍ਚਕਃ ਖ੍ਰੀਸ਼਼੍ਟਾਰਿਸ਼੍ਚਾਸ੍ਤਿ|
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]!
ਅਸ੍ਮਾਕੰ ਸ਼੍ਰਮੋ ਯਤ੍ ਪਣ੍ਡਸ਼੍ਰਮੋ ਨ ਭਵੇਤ੍ ਕਿਨ੍ਤੁ ਸਮ੍ਪੂਰ੍ਣੰ ਵੇਤਨਮਸ੍ਮਾਭਿ ਰ੍ਲਭ੍ਯੇਤ ਤਦਰ੍ਥੰ ਸ੍ਵਾਨਧਿ ਸਾਵਧਾਨਾ ਭਵਤਃ|
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).
ਯਃ ਕਸ਼੍ਚਿਦ੍ ਵਿਪਥਗਾਮੀ ਭੂਤ੍ਵਾ ਖ੍ਰੀਸ਼਼੍ਟਸ੍ਯ ਸ਼ਿਕ੍ਸ਼਼ਾਯਾਂ ਨ ਤਿਸ਼਼੍ਠਤਿ ਸ ਈਸ਼੍ਵਰੰ ਨ ਧਾਰਯਤਿ ਖ੍ਰੀਸ਼਼੍ਟਸ੍ਯ ਸ਼ਿਜ੍ਞਾਯਾਂ ਯਸ੍ਤਿਸ਼਼੍ਠਤਿ ਸ ਪਿਤਰੰ ਪੁਤ੍ਰਞ੍ਚ ਧਾਰਯਤਿ|
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]!
ਯਃ ਕਸ਼੍ਚਿਦ੍ ਯੁਸ਼਼੍ਮਤ੍ਸੰਨਿਧਿਮਾਗੱਛਨ੍ ਸ਼ਿਕ੍ਸ਼਼ਾਮੇਨਾਂ ਨਾਨਯਤਿ ਸ ਯੁਸ਼਼੍ਮਾਭਿਃ ਸ੍ਵਵੇਸ਼੍ਮਨਿ ਨ ਗ੍ਰੁʼਹ੍ਯਤਾਂ ਤਵ ਮਙ੍ਗਲੰ ਭੂਯਾਦਿਤਿ ਵਾਗਪਿ ਤਸ੍ਮੈ ਨ ਕਥ੍ਯਤਾਂ|
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.
ਯਤਸ੍ਤਵ ਮਙ੍ਗਲੰ ਭੂਯਾਦਿਤਿ ਵਾਚੰ ਯਃ ਕਸ਼੍ਚਿਤ੍ ਤਸ੍ਮੈ ਕਥਯਤਿ ਸ ਤਸ੍ਯ ਦੁਸ਼਼੍ਕਰ੍ੰਮਣਾਮ੍ ਅੰਸ਼ੀ ਭਵਤਿ|
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].

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).
