1 T he 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;

Anigoo odayga ah waxaan salaamayaa marwada la doortay iyo carruurteeda aan runta ku jeclahay, keligayna ma ahaye, laakiin xataa waxaa jecel kuwa runta yaqaan oo dhan,

2 f or the truth's sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever:

runta inagu dhex jirta, weligeedna inagu dhex jiri doonta aawadeed.

3 G race, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Nimco iyo naxariis iyo nabad ka yimaada Ilaaha Aabbaha ah iyo Ciise Masiix oo ah Wiilka Aabbaha ayaa inala jiri doona xagga runta iyo jacaylka.

4 I rejoice greatly that I have found certain of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

Aad baan ugu farxay markaan arkay carruurtaadii qaarkood oo runta ku socda, waana sidaynu Aabbaha amar uga helnay.

5 A nd 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.

Oo haatan waxaan kaa baryayaa, murwoy, sidii anigoo aan kuu soo qorayn amar cusub laakiinse kii aynu tan iyo bilowgii haysannay, kaasoo ah inaynu isjeclaanno.

6 A nd 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.

Tanu waa jacayl inaynu amarradiisa ku soconno. Amarkiina waa kan, waana sidaad tan iyo bilowgii u maqli jirteen inaad ku socotaan.

7 F or 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.

Waayo, khaa'inno badan baa dunida u soo baxay, waana kuwa aan qiran in Ciise Masiix jidh ku yimid. Kaasu waa khaa'inka iyo ku Masiixa ka gees ah.

8 L ook to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward.

Iska jira si aydnaan u khasaarayn wixii aynu falnay, laakiinse si aad abaalgud dhan u heshaan.

9 W hosoever 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.

Mid kasta oo dhaafa oo aan cilmiga Masiixa ku sii socon, kaasu Ilaah ma leh; laakiin kii cilmiga ku sii socdaa, Aabbaha iyo Wiilka labadaba wuu leeyahay.

10 I f any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting:

Haddii nin idiin yimaado oo uusan cilmigan idiin keenin, gurigiinna ha soo gelinina, hana salaamina,

11 f or he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.

waayo, kii salaamaa, wuxuu ka qayb galaa shuqulladiisa sharka ah.

12 H aving 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.

In kastoo aan hayo wax badan oo aan idiin soo qoro, ma aan jeclayn inaan warqad iyo khad idiinku soo qoro; laakiinse waxaan rajaynayaa inaan idiin imaado oo aan afkayga idinkula hadlo, si ay farxaddiinnu u buuxsanto.

13 T he children of thine elect sister salute thee.

Carruurtii walaashaada la doortay way ku soo salaamayaan.
