1Ko e motuʻa ki he fineʻeiki kuo fili mo ʻene fānau, ʻoku ou ʻofa moʻoni ki ai; pea ʻoku ʻikai ko au pe, ka ko kinautolu kotoa pē foki kuo ʻiloʻi ʻae moʻoni;
1The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
2Koeʻuhi pe ko e moʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu, pea ʻe ʻiate kitautolu ia ʻo taʻengata:
2because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
3Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe Tamai, ʻi he moʻoni mo e ʻofa.
3Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
4Ne u fiefia lahi ʻi heʻeku ʻiloʻi ʻae niʻihi ʻi hoʻo fānau ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko e fekau naʻa tau maʻu mei he Tamai.
4I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole atu kiate koe, ʻe fineʻeiki, kae ʻikai hangē ko haʻaku tohi ha fekau foʻou kiate koe, ka ko ia kuo tau maʻu mei he kamataʻanga, ke tau feʻofaʻaki kiate kitautolu.
5And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
6Pea ko e ʻofa eni, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻene ngaahi fekau. Ko eni ʻae fekau, Koeʻuhi, ke hangē ko ia kuo mou fanongo ki ai mei he kamataʻanga, ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻi ai.
6And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
7He kuo ʻalu atu ʻae kau kākā tokolahi ki māmani, ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakahā kuo haʻu ʻi he sino ʻa Sisu Kalaisi. Ko e kākā eni mo e fili ʻo Kalaisi.
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8Vakai pe kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mole ʻiate kitautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo tau lavaʻi, ka koeʻuhi ketau maʻu ʻae totongi haohaoa.
8Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9Ko ia ia ʻoku fai hala, pea ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi he akonaki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻOtua. Ko ia ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he akonaki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia fakatouʻosi ʻae Tamai pea mo e ʻAlo.
9Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10Kapau ʻe ʻalu atu ha taha kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai ʻomi ʻae akonaki ko eni, ʻoua naʻa tali ia ki homou fale, pea ʻoua naʻa tokoni ki ai:
10If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11He ko ia ʻoku tokoni ki ai ʻoku kau ia ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue kovi.
11Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12Kuo lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fai ia ʻi he pepa mo e vaitohi: ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, pea tau alea ʻo femamataʻaki, koeʻuhi ke fonu ʻetau fiefia.
12I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13Ko e fānau ʻa ho tokoua kuo fili, ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate koe. ʻEmeni.
13The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
