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 truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;

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

for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it 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 will be with us, from God the Father, and from 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 rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by 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 ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we 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.

This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you 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 have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

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

Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you 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.

Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same 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, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,

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

for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.

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 to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

13 Ijoolleen obboleettii kee kan filatamte sanaas nagaa siif dhaamu.

The children of your chosen sister greet you.
