2 Jan 1
1 Ansyen an k ap ekri madanm chwazi a, ansanm ak pitit li yo, ke mwen renmen anverite; pa mwen sèlman, men tout sila ki konnen laverite yo,
The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,
for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Lagras, mizerikòd, ak lapè va avèk nou, ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa a, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri, Fis a Papa a, nan verite, ak nan lamou.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Mwen te tèlman kontan pou twouve kèk nan timoun ou yo ki t ap mache nan laverite a, jis jan ke Papa a te kòmande nou fè a.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 Konsa, koulye a mwen mande ou, madanm, pa tankou mwen t ap ekri yon kòmandman tounèf, men menm sila ke nou te gen depi nan kòmansman an, pou nou renmen youn lòt.
Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 Men sa se lanmou, pou nou mache selon kòmandman Li yo. Sa se kòmandman an, jis jan ke ou te tande li depi nan kòmansman an, pou ou ta mache nan li.
This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 Paske anpil sediktè gen tan antre nan mond lan, sa yo ki pa rekonèt ke Jésus Kri te vini nan lachè a. Sila a se sediktè a, ak antikris la.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Veye nou menm pou nou pa pèdi sa ke nou gen tan fin reyalize a, men pou nou resevwa tout rekonpans lan.
Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Nenpòt moun ki fin ale byen lwen e ki pa kontinye nan doktrin Kris la, pa gen Bondye. Sila ki rete nan doktrin nan, li gen ni Papa a, ni Fis la.
Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 Si nenpòt moun vini a nou, ki pa pote doktrin sila a, pa resevwa li nan kay nou, e pa menm salye li,
If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
11 paske sila ki salye li a patisipe nan zak malveyan li yo.
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
12 Malgre ke mwen gen anpil bagay pou m ta ekri nou, mwen pa vle fè sa avèk papye ak lank; men mwen espere ke m va vini a nou menm pou nou pale fasafas, jis pou jwa nou kapab vin akonpli.
Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13 Pitit a sè chwazi yo salye nou. Amen
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
