< 2 John 1 >

1 The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,
ܩܫܝܫܐ ܠܓܒܝܬܐ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܒܢܝܗ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܕܥܘܗܝ ܠܫܪܪܐ
2 for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
ܡܛܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܩܘܐ ܒܢ ܘܥܡܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܠܥܠܡ (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.
ܬܗܘܐ ܥܡܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܒܐ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ
4 It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.
ܚܕܝܬ ܤܓܝ ܕܐܫܟܚܬ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܟܝ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܢܤܒܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ
5 And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another.
ܘܗܫܐ ܡܦܝܤ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܐ ܕܢܚܒ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ
6 The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.
ܘܗܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܢܗܠܟ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܝܐ ܕܒܗ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world--men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is 'the deceiver' and 'the anti-Christ.'
ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܒܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܘܐܢܛܝܟܪܝܤܛܘܤ
8 Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward.
ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܘܒܕܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܦܠܚܬܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܬܬܦܪܥܘܢ
9 No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.
ܟܠ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܥܒܪ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܩܘܐ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܒܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ
10 If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܗܢܐ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܩܒܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܘܚܕܝ ܠܟ ܠܐ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܗ
11 He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds.
ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܚܕܝ ܠܟ ܡܫܘܬܦ ܗܘ ܠܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܐ
12 I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete.
ܟܕ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܥܝܬ ܕܒܝܕ ܟܪܛܝܤܐ ܘܕܝܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܦܘܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܘܡܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܕܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܐ
13 The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.
ܫܐܠܝܢ ܫܠܡܟܝ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܚܬܟܝ ܓܒܝܬܐ ܐܡܝܢ
