2 Yohannis 1

1 Jaarsicha irraa, Gara giiftii filatamtuu fi ijoollee ishee, warra ani dhugaadhaan jaalladhu, warra ana qofa utuu hin taʼin warri dhugaa beekan hundi akkasuma jaallataniitti;

The elder unto the excellent Lady, and her children, whom I love in truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

2 kunis sababii dhugaa nu keessa jiraatuu fi isa bara baraan nu wajjin jiraatu sanaatiif: (aiōn g165)

for the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and will be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)

3 Ayyaanni, araarrii fi nagaan Waaqa Abbaa biraa, Yesuus Kiristoos Ilma Abbaa biraas, dhugaa fi jaalalaan nu wajjin ni taʼa.

grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 Ani waan ijoollee kee keessaa tokko tokko akka isaan akkuma Abbaan nu ajajetti dhugaan jiraatan argeef baayʼee gammadeera.

I rejoiced greatly that I found among thy children such as walked in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

5 Ammas yaa giiftii jaallatamtuu, ani ajaja durumaa jalqabee nuuf kenname sana malee ajaja haaraa siif barreessuutti hin jiru. Akka wal jaallannuufis sin kadhadha.

And now I beseech thee, Lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another.

6 Jaalallis kana: kunis ajaja isaa eegnee jiraachuu dha. Akkuma isin durumaa jalqabdanii dhageessan sana ajajni isaa akka isin jaalalaan jiraattanii dha.

And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.

7 Gowwoomsitoonni akka Yesuus Kiristoos fooniin dhufe hin amanne hedduun addunyaa seenaniiru. Namni akkanaa kam iyyuu gowwoomsituu fi farra Kiristoos.

For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8 Isin akka gatii guutuu argattan malee akka waan hojjettan sana hin dhabneef of eeggadhaa.

Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye may receive a full reward.

9 Namni barsiisa Kiristoosiin hin jiraanne kan barsiisa sana keessaa baʼu kam iyyuu Waaqa hin qabu; namni barsiisa Kiristoosiin jiraatu hundinuu immoo Abbaas Ilmas qaba.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son.

10 Isin yoo namni kam iyyuu gara keessan dhufee garuu barsiisa kana hin fidin, mana keessanitti ol isa hin galchinaa yookaan isa hin simatinaa.

Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,

11 Namni isa simatu kam iyyuu hojii isaa hamaa sana keessatti qooda qabaataatii.

that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of his evil deeds.

12 Ani waanan isiniif barreessu baayʼee qaba; taʼus waraqaa fi qalamiitti fayyadamuu hin barbaadu. Qooda kanaa akka gammachuun keenya guutuu taʼuuf ani gara keessan dhufee ifaan ifatti haasofnu abdiin qaba.

Having many things to write unto you, I would not with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.

13 Ijoolleen obboleettii kee kan filatamte sanaas nagaa siif dhaamu.

The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
