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;
I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;
Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)
3 Milost bodi z vami, usmiljenje in mir od Boga Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Očetovega Sina, v resnici in ljubezni.
May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.
4 Silno sem se razveselil, da sem našel nekatere izmed tvojih otrok, ki hodijo v resnici, kakor smo prejeli zapoved od Očeta.
It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.
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, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for 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 love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.
7 Kajti mnogo sleparjev je vstopilo na svet, ki ne priznavajo, da je Jezus Kristus prišel v mesu. Ta je slepar in antikrist.
Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.
8 Glejte nase, da ne izgubimo teh stvari, ki smo jih izvršili, temveč, da prejmemo popolno plačilo.
Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.
9 Kdorkoli greši in ne ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, nima Boga. Kdor ostaja v Kristusovem nauku, ima tako Očeta kakor Sina.
Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has 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 not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:
11 Kajti kdor mu želi: »Bog te obvarji! Srečno!« je soudeleženec njegovih zlih dejanj.
For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works.
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.
Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Pozdravljajo te otroci tvoje izvoljene sestre. Amen.
The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love.
