I.
1 Presbiters izvālātajai kundzei un jōs bārnim, kurus es ikš patīseibas mīļoju, un natikai es vīns, bet arī visi tī, kas patīseibu ir pazynuši, 2 patīseibas dēļ jūs mīļoj, kura myusūs palīk un ar mums byus myužam.
3 Lai ir ar mums žēlesteiba, apžālōšona un mīrs nu Dīva Tāva un nu Tāva Dāla Jezus Kristus patīseibā un mīlesteibā.
4 Mani ļūti īprīcynōja tys, ka storp tovim bārnim atrūdu taidus, kas dzeivoj pēc patīseibas tai, kai mums Tāvs ir pavēlējis. 5 Un es tevis kundze, lyudzu, — lai gon es jaunas bausleibas nadūdu, jo tei ir mums jau nu poša sōkuma, — ka mes cyts cytu mīļōtu. 6 Un mīlesteiba pastōv tamā, ka mes dzeivojam pēc Jō bausleibom. Un tei ir tei bausleiba, kai jyus pošā sōkumā dzērdējot, lai jyus pēc tōs dzeivōtu.
7 Pasaulī ir daudz viļtinīku; jī naatzeist Jezus Kristus, kas ir atnōcis mīsā. Bet taids ir viļtinīks un antikrists. 8 Tōpēc uzmonit sevi, ka napazaudātu tō, kū asot nūpeļnejuši, bet gon sajimtu pylnu olgu. 9 Nivīnam, kas nūsavērzej nūst un Kristus mōceibā napalīk, nava Dīva; bet ikvīnam, kas šytamā mōceibā palīk, ir Tāvs un Dāls. 10-11 Jo kaids pi jums ītu, bet šytōs mōceibas leidza nanastu, napījemit jō mōjā un jō nasveicynojit, jo tys, kas jū sveicynoj, ir jō ļaunūs dorbu daleibnīks.
12 Man vēļ byutu daudz kas jums rokstams, bet es nagrybu tō (dareit) ar tinti uz lopas. Es ceru pi jums aizīt un nu mutes mutē runōt, lai myusu prīca byutu piļneiga.
13 Tevi sveicynoj tovas izradzātōs mōsas bārni.
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. 13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
