1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth;
1Katar o mai phuro kai kerel buchi ande khangeri ramol kai zhuvlia kai sas alome katar O Del ai ka lake shave, kai si mange defial drago. Chi san ferdi mange drago, numa sa kodolenge kai zhanen o chachimos.
2for the truth's sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever:
2Ke o chachimos traiil ande amende, ai avela amensa sa data.
3Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
3O Del O Dat ai le Devles O Jesus Kristo, O Shav le Dadesko, te den ame o mishtimos, e mila, ai e pacha, saxke te avel ame kadala podarki ando chachimos ai ande dragostia.
4I rejoice greatly that I have found [certain] of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
4Me simas defial raduime ke arakhlem unen anda che shave ke traiinas ando chachimos, sar manglia amendar O Dat.
5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
5Ai akana, zhuvlio, mangav tutar te avas drazhi iek kavreske. Nai kado iek nevo zakono kai ramov tuke, kado si o zakono kai sas ame dino de anda gor.
6And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
6Ai e dragostia si te traiisaras ando zakono le Devlesko. Kado si o zakono, ke wo phendia amenge te avas drazhi iek kavreske de anda gor.
7For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
7Ke but manush kai xoxaven avile ande lumia, ai chi mangen te preznain ke O Jesus Kristo avilo pe phuv andek stato manushesko. Kodo kai chi preznail ke O Kristo avilo ando stato si o xoxamo ai o duzhmano le Kristosko (xoxamlo kristo).
8Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward.
8Tume arakhen tume, saxke te na xasaren so nirisardiam ande amari buchi, numa te avel ame dini iek bari pochin palai buchi kai kerdiam.
9Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son.
9Kon godi zhal mai dur ai chi beshel ando zakono le Kristosko, ai les O Del. Numa kodo kai beshel ando zakono le Kristosko, si les O Dat ai vi O Shav.
10If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into [your] house, and give him no greeting:
10Te avela vari kon tumende, ai te na anela tumenge o zakono le Kristosko, na premin les tumende, ai na den les chi dies lasho.
11for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.
11Ke kodo kai del les dies lasho vi wo lesa lo ando nasulimos kai kerel.
12Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write them] with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full.
12Si ma but dieli te ramov tumenge, numa mai drago mange te na phenav le tumenge pe iek rhertia la chernilasa; numa gindiv ke si te avav tumende, me te mothav tumenge, saxke te avas defial raduime.
13The children of thine elect sister salute thee.
13Le shave cha pheiake kai sas alome katar O Del traden tuke but bax, zor ai sastimos. Amen.
