2 Jaona 1
1 Izaho loholona mamangy an’ itompokovavy voafidy sy ny zanany, izay tiako amin’ ny fahamarinana (ary tsy izaho ihany, fa izay rehetra mahalala ny marina koa)
The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 ho amintsika ny fahasoavana sy ny famindram-po ary ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy, Zanaky ny Ray, amin’ ny fahamarinana sy ny fitiavana.
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
4 Faly indrindra aho, satria misy hitako ny zanakao sasany mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinana araka ny nandraisantsika didy tamin’ ny Ray.
I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5 Ary mangataka aminao aho ankehitriny, tompokovavy, tsy toy ny manoratra didy vaovao aminao, fa ilay nananantsika hatramin’ ny voalohany ihany, dia aoka hifankatia isika.
And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
6 Ary izao no fitiavana, dia ny handehanantsika araka ny didiny. Izany no didy, tahaka ny efa renareo hatramin’ ny taloha ihany, dia ny handehananareo aminy.
And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
7 Fa maro ny mpamitaka efa lasa any amin’ izao tontolo izao, dia ireny tsy manaiky fa efa tonga tamin’ ny nofo Jesosy Kristy. Izy no mpamitaka sy antikristy.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Mitandrema ianareo, fandrao mahavery izay namonoanay tena, fa mba handraisanareo valim-pitia tanteraka.
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9 Izay rehetra mitarika nefa tsy mitoetra ao amin’ ny fampianaran’ i Kristy, dia tsy manana an Andriamanitra. Izay mitoetra ao amin’ ny fampianarana, dia izy no manana ny Ray sy ny Zanaka.
Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 Raha misy olona mankeo aminareo ka tsy mitondra izao fampianarana izao, aza mampiantrano azy na miarahaba azy akory;
If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11 fa izay miarahaba azy dia miombona amin’ ny ratsy ataony.
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12 Manana zavatra maro hosoratana aminareo aho, nefa tsy tiako hatao amin’ ny taratasy sy ny ranomainty izany; fa manantena ho tonga atỳ aminareo aho ka hiteny mifanatrika, mba ho tanteraka ny fifalianareo.
I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Ny zanaky ny rahavavinao voafidy manao veloma anao.
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
