King James Version with Apocrypha
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 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;
2Koeʻuhi pe ko e moʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu, pea ʻe ʻiate kitautolu ia ʻo taʻengata:
2For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
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 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.
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 rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
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 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.
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 after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
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 are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8Vakai pe kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mole ʻiate kitautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo tau lavaʻi, ka koeʻuhi ketau maʻu ʻae totongi haohaoa.
8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
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.
9Whosoever 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.
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 there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11He ko ia ʻoku tokoni ki ai ʻoku kau ia ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue kovi.
11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of 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.
12Having 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.
13Ko e fānau ʻa ho tokoua kuo fili, ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate koe. ʻEmeni.
13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
