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;
1الشيخ الى كيرية المختارة والى اولادها الذين انا احبهم بالحق ولست انا فقط بل ايضا جميع الذين قد عرفوا الحق
2for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
2من اجل الحق الذي يثبت فينا وسيكون معنا الى الابد.
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.
3تكون معكم نعمة ورحمة وسلام من الله الآب ومن الرب يسوع المسيح ابن الآب بالحق والمحبة
4I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
4فرحت جدا لاني وجدت من اولادك بعضا سالكين في الحق كما اخذنا وصية من الآب.
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.
5والآن اطلب منك يا كيرية لا كاني اكتب اليك وصية جديدة بل التي كانت عندنا من البدء ان يحب بعضنا بعضا.
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.
6وهذه هي المحبة ان نسلك بحسب وصاياه. هذه هي الوصية كما سمعتم من البدء ان تسلكوا فيها.
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.
7لانه قد دخل الى العالم مضلّون كثيرون لا يعترفون بيسوع المسيح آتيا في الجسد. هذا هو المضلّ والضد للمسيح.
8Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
8انظروا الى انفسكم لئلا نضيّع ما عملناه بل ننال اجرا تاما.
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.
9كل من تعدى ولم يثبت في تعليم المسيح فليس له الله. ومن يثبت في تعليم المسيح فهذا له الآب والابن جميعا.
10If anyone comes to you, and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
10ان كان احد يأتيكم ولا يجيء بهذا التعليم فلا تقبلوه في البيت ولا تقولوا له سلام.
11for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
11لان من يسلم عليه يشترك في اعماله الشريرة
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.
12اذ كان لي كثير لاكتب اليكم لم ارد ان يكون بورق وحبر لاني ارجو ان آتي اليكم واتكلم فما لفم لكي يكون فرحنا كاملا.
13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
13يسلم عليك اولاد اختك المختارة آمين
