2 Yanisa 1
1 Tape ciimazappe; tumappe ta dosiza doretida godateysinne izi naytas, tana xala gidonta tumu erizayti wuri dosizaris, kitetida kita;
The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.
I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Xoossa awappenne iza na Yesuss Kirstosappe Kiyatethi, marotethiine saroy tumanine siqqon nunara giido.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
4 Ne naytape bagati aawape nus imetida azazoza mala tuman miini dizayta ta beyida gish daro ufa7istadis.
I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Ha7ikka Godateye, kassepeka dizaro attiin ta nes hara ooratha azazo xafikke; hesiikka nu nu garsan siqistanaysakko.
And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.
6 He siqoykka nu iza azazoza mala danaysako. Azazozikka inte koyro siyda mala siqqon deyana malako.
And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life 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 say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Inte gidikko inte dabura wagape mella atontamalanne kumetha woyytto ekana mala inte hu7es nagetite.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Kirstossa timrte mala donta urayinne iza tmirteppe baletidi kare keziza ura oonanikka Xoossi deena. Kirstosa timrten dizadey gidiko izas aawayne aawa nay deetes.
Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.
10 Oonikka intekko yishe hessa he timrteza ekii yonta ura mokkii ekofiitene saro gopiite.
If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.
11 Moki ekiddii ba so gelthizadey he ura oothon izara isino gidees.
For the man who greets him shares in his wicked 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 many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Doretidari naytii ne miicheyi nayti nena saro geetes.
The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
