2 Janez 1
1 Starešina izvoljeni gospe in njenim otrokom, ki jih ljubim v resnici; pa ne samo jaz, temveč tudi vsi tisti, ki so spoznali resnico;
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—
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Milost bodi z vami, usmiljenje in mir od Boga Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Očetovega Sina, v resnici in ljubezni.
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 Silno sem se razveselil, da sem našel nekatere izmed tvojih otrok, ki hodijo v resnici, kakor smo prejeli zapoved od Očeta.
I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5 In sedaj te rotim, gospa, ne kakor da sem ti napisal novo zapoved, temveč to, ki smo jo imeli od začetka, da ljubimo drug drugega.
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 In to je ljubezen, da živimo po njegovih zapovedih. To je zapoved: »Da kakor ste slišali od začetka, naj bi hodili v njej.«
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 Kajti mnogo sleparjev je vstopilo na svet, ki ne priznavajo, da je Jezus Kristus prišel v mesu. Ta je slepar in antikrist.
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 Glejte nase, da ne izgubimo teh stvari, ki smo jih izvršili, temveč, da prejmemo popolno plačilo.
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9 Kdorkoli greši in ne ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, nima Boga. Kdor ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, ima tako Očeta kakor Sina.
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 Če kdo pride k vam in vam ne prinese tega nauka, ga ne sprejmite v svojo hišo niti mu ne želite: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!«
If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11 Kajti kdor mu želi: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!« je soudeleženec njegovih zlih dejanj.
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12 Ker vam imam napisati mnogo stvari, ne želim pisati s papirjem in črnilom, temveč zaupam, da pridem k vam in spregovorim iz obličja v obličje, da bo naše veselje lahko popolno.
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 Pozdravljajo te otroci tvoje izvoljene sestre. Amen.
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
