Ioanej II 1
1 IET nai me laud o ranamau won li lipilipil o na jeri kan, me i kin pokepoke melel; a kaidin nai ta, pwe pil irail karoj,
The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
For the truth's sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Mak o kalanan, o popol pan mi re atail jan ren Kot Jam, o jan ren Iejuj Krijtuj, me Japwilim en Jam ni melel o limpok.
Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I ap peren kida kaualap, pwe i diaradar, me akai noum jeri kan alialu wei ta ni melel, duen atail aleer kujoned jan ren Jam.
I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 Ari, i poeki re omui, Main, kaidin kujoned kap pot, me i intin won komui, a me kitail iileer jan ni tapi o kitail en pololol
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 A iet limpok, pwe jen alu weitu duen a kujoned akan. A met kujoned o, duen komail roner jan ni tapi, jen alialuta ia.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 Men kotaue me toto pwara don jappa, me jota kin kadede, me Iejuj Krijtuj wia uduk ala, i men kotaue o krijtuj likam o.
For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.
8 Komail kalaka pein komail, pwe omail pai, me komail dodok on er, de jalonala a komail en ale pwaipwai pokon.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Meamen me dauli mepukat, o me jota tenedi on padak en Krijtuj, a jota paieki Kot; a me tenedi on padak o, i me paiekier karoj, Jam o japwilim a Ol.
Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 Ma amen ko don komail, me jota wado padak et, der kajamo Ion on nan im omail, o der ranamau i i.
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him happiness:
11 Pwe me kin ranamaui i, a pan pwaijaneki a wiawia jued.
For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Kajoi me toto mi re i, me I men intin won komail, a i jota pan wiaki ki kijin likau o ink, pwe i kaporoporeki, me i pan pwara won komail, kitail ap pan kajoi pena, pwe atail peren en unjokela.
Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 Ari, nain ri om li lipilipil jeriko me ranamau won komui. Amen.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
