2 Sione 1

1 Ko e motuʻa ki he fineʻeiki kuo fili mo ʻene fānau, ʻoku ou ʻofa moʻoni ki ai; pea ʻoku ʻikai ko au pe, ka ko kinautolu kotoa pē foki kuo ʻiloʻi ʻae moʻoni;

The elder to the chosen lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth,

2 Koeʻuhi pe ko e moʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu, pea ʻe ʻiate kitautolu ia ʻo taʻengata: (aiōn g165)

because of the truth that is remaining in us, and will be with us throughout the age, (aiōn g165)

3 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe Tamai, ʻi he moʻoni mo e ʻofa.

there will be with you grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 Ne u fiefia lahi ʻi heʻeku ʻiloʻi ʻae niʻihi ʻi hoʻo fānau ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko e fekau naʻa tau maʻu mei he Tamai.

I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;

5 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole atu kiate koe, ʻe fineʻeiki, kae ʻikai hangē ko haʻaku tohi ha fekau foʻou kiate koe, ka ko ia kuo tau maʻu mei he kamataʻanga, ke tau feʻofaʻaki kiate kitautolu.

and now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,

6 Pea ko e ʻofa eni, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻene ngaahi fekau. Ko eni ʻae fekau, Koeʻuhi, ke hangē ko ia kuo mou fanongo ki ai mei he kamataʻanga, ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻi ai.

and this is love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it,

7 He kuo ʻalu atu ʻae kau kākā tokolahi ki māmani, ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakahā kuo haʻu ʻi he sino ʻa Sisu Kalaisi. Ko e kākā eni mo e fili ʻo Kalaisi.

because many deceivers entered into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.

8 Vakai pe kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mole ʻiate kitautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo tau lavaʻi, ka koeʻuhi ketau maʻu ʻae totongi haohaoa.

See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;

9 Ko ia ia ʻoku fai hala, pea ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi he akonaki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻOtua. Ko ia ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he akonaki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia fakatouʻosi ʻae Tamai pea mo e ʻAlo.

everyone who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, does not have God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son;

10 Kapau ʻe ʻalu atu ha taha kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai ʻomi ʻae akonaki ko eni, ʻoua naʻa tali ia ki homou fale, pea ʻoua naʻa tokoni ki ai:

if anyone comes to you, and does not bear this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not say to him, “Greetings!”

11 He ko ia ʻoku tokoni ki ai ʻoku kau ia ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue kovi.

For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.

12 Kuo lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fai ia ʻi he pepa mo e vaitohi: ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, pea tau alea ʻo femamataʻaki, koeʻuhi ke fonu ʻetau fiefia.

Having many things to write to you, I did not intend [it] with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.

13 Ko e fānau ʻa ho tokoua kuo fili, ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate koe. ʻEmeni.

The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
