2 Johannesbrevet 1
1 Den äldste, den utvalda Frune, och hennes barn, hvilken jag älskar i sanningen; och icke jag allenast, utan ock alle som sanningen känt hafva;
The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known the Truth—
because of the Truth, who abides in us and will be with us into the age: (aiōn g165)
3 Nåd, barmhertighet, frid af Gud Fader, och af Herranom Jesu Christo, Fadrens Son, i sanningene, och i kärlekenom, vare med eder.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love.
4 Jag är mycket glad, att jag hafver funnit ibland din barn de der vandra i sanningene; såsom vi budet af Fadrenom fått hafve.
It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Och nu beder jag dig, Fru; icke skrifver jag dig såsom ett nytt bud, utan det vi hadom af begynnelsen, att vi skolom älska oss inbördes.
And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have from the beginning): that we love one another.
6 Och detta är kärleken, att vi vandrom efter hans bud. Detta är budet, som I hört hafven af begynnelsen, att I vandren deruti.
And this is the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it.
7 Ty månge bedragare äro inkomne i verldena, de som icke bekänna Jesum Christum kommen vara i köttet; denne är bedragaren, och Antichrist.
Now many deceivers have come into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in flesh—this is the deceiver, even the Antichrist!
8 Ser eder väl före, att vi icke borttappom det vi arbetat hafvom, utan att vi fåm full lön.
Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward.
9 Hvar och en som öfverträder, och icke blifver i Christi lärdom, han hafver ingen Gud; den der blifver i Christi lärdom, han hafver både Fadren och Sonen.
Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ's teaching does have both the Father and the Son.
10 Kommer någor till eder, och icke hafver denna lärdomen med sig, undfår honom icke i hus, och helser honom icke heller;
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,”
11 Ty den honom helsar, han är delaktig i hans onda gerningar.
because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works.
12 Jag hafver väl mycket att skrifva eder, dock ville jag icke med papper eller bläck; utan jag hoppas att komma till eder, och muntliga tala med eder, på det vår glädje skall vara fullkommen.
Although I had many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Helsa dig dine utvalda systers barn. Amen.
The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
