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.

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,

²Ke o chachimos traiil ande amende, ai avela amensa sa data.

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

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.

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.

⁴Me simas defial raduime ke arakhlem unen anda che shave ke traiinas ando chachimos, sar manglia amendar O Dat.

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

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.

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,

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.

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,

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).

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.

⁸Tume arakhen tume, saxke te na xasaren so nirisardiam ande amari buchi, numa te avel ame dini iek bari pochin palai buchi kai kerdiam.

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

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.

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;

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.

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!`

¹¹Ke kodo kai del les dies lasho vi wo lesa lo ando nasulimos kai kerel.

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

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.

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;

¹³Le shave cha pheiake kai sas alome katar O Del traden tuke but bax, zor ai sastimos. Amen.

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