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, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—

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

because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (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 from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.

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

I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.

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 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 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 very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

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

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

Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.

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.

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

If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.

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

Whoever greets such a person shares in 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.

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 Ijoolleen obboleettii kee kan filatamte sanaas nagaa siif dhaamu.

The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
