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. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,
for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. (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 Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Ne naytape bagati aawape nus imetida azazoza mala tuman miini dizayta ta beyida gish daro ufa7istadis.
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.
5 Ha7ikka Godateye, kassepeka dizaro attiin ta nes hara ooratha azazo xafikke; hesiikka nu nu garsan siqistanaysakko.
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.
6 He siqoykka nu iza azazoza mala danaysako. Azazozikka inte koyro siyda mala siqqon deyana malako.
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.
7 Yesus Kirstossay asa asho maydi yibeyna giza amanonta daro balethizayti alame bolla laletida. Heyta malay ay assikka as ballethizadene Kirstosara eqetizadeko.
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.'
8 Inte gidikko inte dabura wagape mella atontamalanne kumetha woyytto ekana mala inte hu7es nagetite.
Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back 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.
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.
10 Oonikka intekko yishe hessa he timrteza ekii yonta ura mokkii ekofiitene saro gopiite.
If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.
11 Moki ekiddii ba so gelthizadey he ura oothon izara isino gidees.
He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds.
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 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.
13 Doretidari naytii ne miicheyi nayti nena saro geetes.
The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.
