2John

הַזָּקֵן אֶל־הַגְּבִירָה הַבְּחִירָה וְאֶל־בָּנֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי אׂהֵב אׂתָם בֶּאֱמֶת וְלׂא־אֲנִי לְבַדִּי כִּי אִם־גַּם כָּל־יׂדְעֵי הָאֱמֶת׃

א

1

The 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;

לְמַעַן הָאֱמֶת הָעׂמֶדֶת בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ וְגַם־תִּהְיֶה עִמָּנוּ לְעוֹלָם׃

ב

2

for the truth’s sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever:

יְהִי עִמָּנוּ חֶסֶד וְרַחֲמִים וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלׂהִים אָבִינוּ וּמֵאֵת אֲדׂנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־הָאָב בֶּאֱמֶת וּבְאַהֲבָה׃

ג

3

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

שָׂמַחְתִּי מְאׂד כִּי־מָצָאתִי מִבָּנַיִךְ מִתְהַלְּכִים בָּאֱמֶת כַּמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר קִבַּלְנוּ מֵאֵת הָאָב׃

ד

4

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

וְעַתָּה מְבַקֵּשׁ אֲנִי מִמֵּךְ הַגְּבִירָה וְלׂא כְּכׂתֵב אֵלַיִךְ מִצְוָה חֲדָשָׁה כִּי אִם־אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָיְתָה־לָּנוּ מֵרׂאשׁ לְאַהֲבָה אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ׃

ה

5

And 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.

וְזׂאת הִיא הָאַהֲבָה אֲשֶׁר נִתְהַלֵּךְ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו זׂאת הִיא הַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר שְׁמַעְתֶּם מֵרׂאשׁ לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּהּ׃

ו

6

And 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.

כִּי מַתְעִים רַבִּים בָּאוּ לָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר אֵינָם מוֹדִים בְּיֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַבָּא בַבָּשָׂר זֶה הוּא הַמַּתְעֶה וְשׂוֹטֵן הַמָּשִׁיחַ׃

ז

7

For 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.

הִזָּהֲרוּ פֶּן־תּׂאבַד מִמֶּנּוּ פְּעֻלָּתֵנוּ כִּי אִם־נִקַּח מַשְׂכֻּרְתֵּנוּ שְׁלֵמָה׃

ח

8

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

כָּל־הָעׂבֵר עַל־תּוֹרַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְאֵינֶנּוּ עׂמֵד בָּהּ אֵין לוֹ אֱלׂהִים וְהָעׂמֵד בְּתוֹרַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֶשׁ־לוֹ גַּם־הָאָב גַּם־הַבֵּן׃

ט

9

Whosoever 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.

כָּל־הַבָּא אֲלֵיכֶם וְלׂא יָבִיא אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה הַזּׂאת לׂא־תַאַסְפוּ אׂתוֹ הַבַּיְתָה וְלׂא תִשְׁאֲלוּ־לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם׃

י

10

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

כִּי הַשּׁׂאֵל בִּשְׁלוֹמוֹ חָבֵר הוּא לְמַעֲשָׂיו הָרָעִים׃

יא

11

for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.

הַרְבֵּה יֶשׁ־לִי לִכְתּׂב אֲלֵיכֶם וְלׂא חָפַצְתִּי בִּנְיָר וּבִדְיוֹ כִּי אִם־אֲקַוֶּה לָבוֹא אֲלֵיכֶם וּלְדַבֵּר פֶּה אֶל־פֶּה לְמַעַן תִּהְיֶה שִׂמְחָתֵנוּ שְׁלֵמָה׃

יב

12

Having 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.

בְּנֵי אֲחוֹתֵךְ הַבְּחִירָה שׁׂאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמֵךְ אָמֵן׃

יג

13

The children of thine elect sister salute thee.
