2 Yanisa 1
1 Tape ciimazappe; tumappe ta dosiza doretida godateysinne izi naytas, tana xala gidonta tumu erizayti wuri dosizaris, kitetida kita;
This letter comes from the elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth. Not just from me, but from everyone who knows the truth,
because the truth lives in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Xoossa awappenne iza na Yesuss Kirstosappe Kiyatethi, marotethiine saroy tumanine siqqon nunara giido.
May grace, mercy and peace continue to be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
4 Ne naytape bagati aawape nus imetida azazoza mala tuman miini dizayta ta beyida gish daro ufa7istadis.
I was delighted to discover that some of your children are following the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
5 Ha7ikka Godateye, kassepeka dizaro attiin ta nes hara ooratha azazo xafikke; hesiikka nu nu garsan siqistanaysakko.
Now I'm telling you, dear lady, not as a new instruction, but following what we've understood from the beginning, that we should love one another.
6 He siqoykka nu iza azazoza mala danaysako. Azazozikka inte koyro siyda mala siqqon deyana malako.
This is what love is: we should follow God's commands. The command, just as you heard right from the beginning, is that you should live in love.
7 Yesus Kirstossay asa asho maydi yibeyna giza amanonta daro balethizayti alame bolla laletida. Heyta malay ay assikka as ballethizadene Kirstosara eqetizadeko.
I'm telling you this because many deceivers have left and gone out into the world. They don't accept that Jesus Christ has come as a human being. Anyone like this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Inte gidikko inte dabura wagape mella atontamalanne kumetha woyytto ekana mala inte hu7es nagetite.
Be careful that you don't lose what we've worked so hard for, and that you receive all that you should.
9 Kirstossa timrte mala donta urayinne iza tmirteppe baletidi kare keziza ura oonanikka Xoossi deena. Kirstosa timrten dizadey gidiko izas aawayne aawa nay deetes.
All those who become extremists and don't continue to follow the teaching of Christ don't have God with them. Those who continue to follow the teaching of Christ have both the Father and the Son with them.
10 Oonikka intekko yishe hessa he timrteza ekii yonta ura mokkii ekofiitene saro gopiite.
If people come to you and don't show evidence of Christ's teaching, don't take them in, don't welcome them—
11 Moki ekiddii ba so gelthizadey he ura oothon izara isino gidees.
for if you encourage them you share in their evil work.
12 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.
I have so many things to tell you that I won't write any more with paper and ink, for I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face. How happy that would make us!
13 Doretidari naytii ne miicheyi nayti nena saro geetes.
Greetings to you from the children of your chosen sister.
