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 chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
2Ke o chachimos traiil ande amende, ai avela amensa sa data.
2for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
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.
3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, 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 rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by 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.
5Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we 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.
6This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
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).
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver 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.
8Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
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.
9Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has 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 anyone comes to you, and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
11Ke kodo kai del les dies lasho vi wo lesa lo ando nasulimos kai kerel.
11for he who welcomes him participates in 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.
12Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13Le shave cha pheiake kai sas alome katar O Del traden tuke but bax, zor ai sastimos. Amen.
13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
