Jāņa 2. Vēstule 1
1 Tas vecākais tai izredzētai mātei un viņas bērniem, ko es patiesi mīlēju, un ne vien es, bet arī visi, kas patiesību atzinuši,
The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
For the truth’s sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Žēlastība, apžēlošana, miers lai ir ar jums no Dieva Tā Tēva un no Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus, Tā Tēva Dēla, iekš patiesības un mīlestības.
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Es ļoti esmu priecājies, ka tavu bērnu starpā esmu atradis, kas staigā iekš patiesības, tā kā mēs bausli esam dabūjuši no Tā Tēva.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 Un nu es tevi lūdzu, māte, ne tā kā jaunu bausli tev rakstīdams, bet kas mums no iesākuma bijis: lai mēs cits citu mīlējam.
And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 Un šī ir tā mīlestība, ka staigājam pēc Viņa baušļiem; šis ir tas bauslis, ka iekš tā staigājiet, kā no iesākuma esat dzirdējuši.
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
7 Jo daudz viltnieki ir nākuši pasaulē, kas neapliecina Jēzu Kristu esam nākušu miesā. Šis ir tas viltnieks un tas pretī-kristus.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Lūkojiet uz sevi pašiem, ka nezaudējam, ko esam strādājuši, bet ka dabūjam pilnu algu.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have worked, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Nevienam, kas ir pārkāpējs un nepaliek iekš Kristus mācības, nav Dieva: kas iekš Kristus mācības paliek, tam ir Tas Tēvs un Tas Dēls.
Whoever transgresses, and stays not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that stays in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
10 Ja kas nāk pie jums un šo mācību nenes, to neuzņemiet mājās un nesveicinājiet.
If there come any to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 Jo kas viņu sveicina, tam ir daļa pie viņa ļauniem darbiem.
For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Man vēl ir daudz ko jums rakstīt; bet es negribēju uz papīra un ar tinti; bet es ceru pie jums nākt un muti pret muti runāt, lai mūsu prieks ir pilnīgs.
Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 Tavas māsas, tās izredzētās, bērni tevi sveicina. Āmen.
The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
