¹ANCIANOAC andre elegituari, eta haren haourrey, cein nic eguiaz maite baititut, eta ez nic neurorrec solament, baina eguiá eçagutu vkan duten guciéc-ere:

¹The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known the truth,

²Gutan dagoen eta seculacotz gurequin içanen den eguiaren causaz:

²because of the truth that is remaining in us, and with us shall be to the age,

³Gratia, misericordia, baquea dela çuequin Iainco Aitaganic, eta Aitaren Seme Iesus Christ Iaunaganic, eguiarequin eta charitaterequin.

³there shall be with you grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

⁴Alegueratu içan naun haguitz, ceren eriden dudan hire haourretaric eguián dabiltzala, manamendu recebitu vkan dugun beçala Aitaganic.

⁴I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father;

⁵Eta orain othoitz eguiten draunat, andreá, ez manamendu berriric scribatzen banaraun beçala, baina hatseandanic vkan duguna, elkarri on daritzogun.

⁵and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,

⁶Eta haur da charitatea, ebil gaitecen haren manamenduén araura: haur da manamendua hatseandanic ençun vkan duçuen beçala, hartan ebil çaitezten.

⁶and this is the love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the beginning, that in it ye may walk,

⁷Ecen anhitz abusari sarthu içan da mundura, ceinéc ezpaitute confessatzen Iesus Christ haraguitan ethorri içan dela: halacoa abusari da eta Antechrist.

⁷because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.

⁸Gogoauçue çuen buruètara, gal eztitzaguncát eguin ditugun gauçác, baina sari bethea recebi deçagunçát.

⁸See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive;

⁹Norc-ere iragaiten baitu, eta ezpaita egoiten Christen doctrinán, Iaincoa eztu: Christen doctrinán egoiten denac Aita eta Semea baditu.

⁹every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son;

¹⁰Baldin cembeit ethorten bada çuetara, eta doctrina haur ezpaitu ekarten, hura ezteçaçuela recebi etchera, ezeta saluta.

¹⁰if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, `Hail!`

¹¹Ecen hura salutatzen duenac communicatzen du haren obra gaichtoequin.

¹¹for he who is saying to him, `Hail,` hath fellowship with his evil works.

¹²Anhitz gauça banuen-ere çuey scribatzecoric, eztitut paperez eta tintaz scribatu nahi vkan, baina sperança dut ethorriren naicela çuetara eta ahoz aho minçaturen, gure bozcarioa complitua dençát.

¹²Many things having to write to you, I did not intend through paper and ink, but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full;

¹³Hire ahizpa elegituaren haourréc salutatzen auté.

¹³salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.
