2 ዮሐንስ 1

ከSBL የግሪክኛ አዲስ ኪዳን የተተረጎመ። አንድ ቁጥር ለምን እንደዚህ እንደሚነበብ ለማየት ቁጥሩን ይንኩ። የግርጌ ማስታወሻውን ለማንበብ ትንሿን ፊደል ይንኩ።

በዚህ ምዕራፍ ውስጥ ያሉ አንዳንድ ዓረፍተ ነገሮች ገና አልተተረጎሙም፤ በእንግሊዝኛ፣ በግራጫ ቀለም ይታያሉ።

Greeting

1From the elder, to the chosen lady and her children. I love you in truth, and I am not the only one: so do all who have come to know the truth. 2We love you because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us forever. 3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, in truth and love.

Live in truth and love, and beware of deceivers

4I was very glad when I found some of your children living in the truth, in keeping with the command we received from the Father. 5And now, lady, I have a request for you. What I am writing to you is not a new command; it is the one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. 6This is what love is: that we live by his commands. And this is the command you heard from the beginning: you are to live in love. 7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, people who do not confess Jesus Christ as one who has come in the flesh. A person like that is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8Be on your guard, so that you do not lose what we have worked to bring about, but receive your reward in full. 9Anyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ is without God. But the one who remains in that teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you without bringing this teaching, do not receive that person into your home, and do not give them a greeting. 11For whoever gives such a person a greeting becomes a partner in their evil deeds.

Final words

12There is a great deal I could write to you, but I chose not to do it with paper and ink. I hope instead to come to you and speak with you face to face, so that your joy may be complete.

13Your chosen sister’s children send you their greetings.
