1 A nigoo 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,

The 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,

2 r unta inagu dhex jirta, weligeedna inagu dhex jiri doonta aawadeed.

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

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

there 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.

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

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

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

and 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,

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

and 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,

7 W aayo, 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.

because 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.

8 I ska jira si aydnaan u khasaarayn wixii aynu falnay, laakiinse si aad abaalgud dhan u heshaan.

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

9 M id 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.

every 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;

10 H addii nin idiin yimaado oo uusan cilmigan idiin keenin, gurigiinna ha soo gelinina, hana salaamina,

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

11 w aayo, kii salaamaa, wuxuu ka qayb galaa shuqulladiisa sharka ah.

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

12 I n 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.

Many 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;

13 C arruurtii walaashaada la doortay way ku soo salaamayaan.

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