2 Jaona 1
1 I Zokey, Ho ami’ty rakemba jinoboñe naho o ana’eo, o kokoako an-katòo; le tsy izaho avao, fa ze hene mahafohiñe ty hatò,
THE presbyter to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all who have known the truth:
because of the truth which abideth in us, and shall be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)
3 Hasoa naho fiferenaiñañe vaho hanintsiñe aman-tika boak’ aman’ Añahare Rae naho hirik’ am’ Iesoà Norizañey, anan-dRae, an-katò naho an-koko.
grace, mercy, peace be with you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Vata’e nahaehak’ ahy te nahatrea o ana’o ila’eo nañavelo ami’ty hatò, do’e amy nandilian-dRae antikañey.
I rejoiced greatly that I found thy children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.
5 Mañontane azo iraho, rakemba, tsy t’ie isokirako lily vao, fa i tàman-tika am-baloha’ey, t’ie hifampikoko.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we should love one another.
6 Zao o fikokoañeo, t’ie mañavelo am-pañambenañe o lili’eo. Inao i liliy, hañaveloa’ areo amy jinanji’ areo tam-baloha’ey.
And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, That ye should walk in it.
7 Maro ty mpamañahy fa niboele ami’ty voatse toy ze tsy miantoke te niavy an-tsandriñe t’Iesoà Norizañe. Izay i mpamañahiy, i norizam-bìlañey.
For many deceivers are gone out into the world, who do not confess Jesus the Messiah as come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Mitaoa tsy ho motso ty nifanehafan-tika, soa t’ie handrambe tambe heneke.
Take heed to yourselves that we lose not the things which we have wrought, but receive a full reward.
9 Ndra ia ia milosotse tsy mimoneñe amy fañòha’ i Norizañeiy, le tsy ama’e t’i Andrianañahare; f’ie mifahatse amy fañòhañey, le ama’e t’i Rae naho i Anakey.
Every one that transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, this man holdeth both the Father and the Son.
10 Aa ndra ia ia mitilik’ azo tsy minday i fañòhañe zay, ko anoe’o añ’anjomba, vaho ko añontanea’o,
If any person come unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house, nor say to him, Welcome.
11 amy te mpitraok’ amo sata-rati’eo ze mañontane aze.
He that biddeth him welcome, takes part in his wicked works.
12 Aa ndra te maro ty ho nisokirako, tsy teako t’ie an-taratasy naho rano-mainte, fe salalaeko ty hitilike vaho hifañaoñe ama’o naho hifañatreke hampahaeneñe o haehan-tikañeo.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not do it with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be complete.
13 Mañontane azo o ana-drahavave’o jinoboñeo.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
