2 ಯೋಹಾನನು 1
1 ಆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವಳಾದ ಅಮ್ಮನವರಿಗೂ ಆಕೆಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೂ ಹಿರಿಯನಾದ--ಸತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ; ನಾನು ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲದೆ ಸತ್ಯವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದಿರುವವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
2 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆಗೊಂಡಿರುವಂಥ ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸದಾಕಾಲವೂ ಇರುವಂಥ ಸತ್ಯದ ನಿಮಿತ್ತವಾಗಿಯೇ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
3 ತಂದೆಯಾದ ದೇವರಿಂದಲೂ ಆ ತಂದೆಯ ಮಗನಾಗಿರುವ ಕರ್ತನಾದ ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನಿಂದಲೂ ಕೃಪೆಯು ಕರುಣೆಯು ಮತ್ತು ಶಾಂತಿಯು ಸತ್ಯ ದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ನಿಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗಿರಲಿ.
4 ನಿನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವರು ತಂದೆಯಿಂದ ನಾವು ಹೊಂದಿದ ಆಜ್ಞಾನುಸಾರ ಸತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುವದನ್ನು ಕಂಡು ನಾನು ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಷವುಳ್ಳವನಾದೆನು.
5 ಅಮ್ಮನವರೇ, ನಾನು ಹೊಸ ಆಜ್ಞೆಯನ್ನು ನಿನಗೆ ಬರೆಯದೆ ಮೊದಲಿನಿಂದಲೂ ನಮಗೆ ಇದ್ದ ಆಜ್ಞೆ ಯನ್ನು ನಿನಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವವನಾಗಿ--ನಾವು ಒಬ್ಬರ ನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವವರಾಗಿರಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
6 ಆತನ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸಿ ನಡೆಯುವದೇ ಪ್ರೀತಿ; ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯ ಬೇಕೆಂಬದೇ ನೀವು ಮೊದಲಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಕೇಳಿದ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.
7 ಶರೀರದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂದಿರುವ ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪದೆ ಇರುವ ಮೋಸಗಾರರು ಅನೇಕ ಮಂದಿ ಹೊರಟು ಲೋಕದೊಳಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇಂಥವನೇ ಮೋಸಗಾರನೂ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತ ವಿರೋಧಿಯೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
8 ನಾವು ಪ್ರಯಾಸಪಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡಿದವು ಗಳನ್ನು ಕಳಕೊಳ್ಳದೆ ಪ್ರತಿಫಲವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವಂತೆ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ನೀವೇ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ.
9 ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಬೋಧನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆಗೊಳ್ಳದೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಅತಿಕ್ರಮಿ ಸುವವನಿಗೆ ದೇವರಿಲ್ಲ; ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಬೋಧನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆ ಗೊಂಡಿರುವವನಿಗೆ ತಂದೆಯೂ ಮಗನೂ ಇದ್ದಾರೆ.
10 ಈ ಬೋಧನೆಯನ್ನು ತಾರದಿರುವ ಯಾವನಾದರೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದರೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಮನೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಸೇರಿಸಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಡಿರಿ; ಅವನಿಗೆ ವಂದನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಬೇಡಿರಿ.
11 ಅವನಿಗೆ ವಂದನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವವನು ಅವನ ದುಷ್ಕೃತ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲುಗಾರನಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ.
12 ನಿಮಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನನಗೆ ಅನೇಕ ವಿಷಯಗಳಿದ್ದರೂ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಮಸಿಯಿಂದ ಕಾಗದದ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರೆಯುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನನಗೆ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಗಡ ಮುಖಾ ಮುಖಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವೆನೆಂದು ನಂಬುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಆಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂತೋಷವು ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗುವದು.
13 ಆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರಿಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ನಿನಗೆ ವಂದನೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಆಮೆನ್.
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.
Psalm 116 in Tamil and English
1 యెహోవా నా మొరను నా విన్నపములను ఆలకించి యున్నాడు. కాగా నేనాయనను ప్రేమించుచున్నాను.
I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 ఆయన నాకు చెవియొగ్గెను కావున నా జీవితకాలమంతయు నేనాయనకు మొఱ్ఱ పెట్టుదును
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 మరణబంధములు నన్ను చుట్టుకొని యుండెను పాతాళపు వేదనలు నన్ను పట్టుకొనియుండెను శ్రమయు దుఃఖమును నాకు కలిగెను.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 అప్పుడుయెహోవా, దయచేసి నా ప్రాణమును విడిపింపుమని యెహోవా నామమునుబట్టి నేను మొఱ్ఱపెట్టితిని.
Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 యెహోవా దయాళుడు నీతిమంతుడు మన దేవుడు వాత్సల్యతగలవాడు.
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 యెహోవా సాధువులను కాపాడువాడు. నేను క్రుంగియుండగా ఆయన నన్ను రక్షించెను.
The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 నా ప్రాణమా, యెహోవా నీకు క్షేమము విస్తరింప జేసియున్నాడు. తిరిగి నీ విశ్రాంతిలో ప్రవేశింపుము.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 మరణమునుండి నా ప్రాణమును కన్నీళ్లు విడువకుండ నా కన్నులను జారిపడకుండ నాపాదములను నీవు తప్పించియున్నావు.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 సజీవులున్న దేశములలో యెహోవా సన్నిధిని నేను కాలము గడుపుదును.
I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 నేను ఆలాగు మాటలాడి నమి్మక యుంచితిని. నేను మిగుల బాధపడినవాడను.
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 నేను తొందరపడినవాడనై ఏ మనుష్యుడును నమ్మదగినవాడు కాడను కొంటిని.
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 యెహోవా నాకు చేసిన ఉపకారములన్నిటికి నేనాయనకేమి చెల్లించుదును?
What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13 రక్షణపాత్రను చేత పుచ్చుకొని యెహోవా నామమున ప్రార్థన చేసెదను.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14 యెహోవాకు నా మ్రొక్కుబళ్లు చెల్లించెదను. ఆయన ప్రజలందరి యెదుటనే చెల్లించెదను
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15 యెహోవా భక్తుల మరణము ఆయన దృష్టికి విలువ గలది
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16 యెహోవా, నేను నిజముగా నీ సేవకుడను, నీ సేవకుడను నీ సేవకురాలి కుమారుడనైయున్నాను నీవు నాకట్లు విప్పియున్నావు.
O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 నేను నీకు కృతజ్ఞతార్పణ నర్పించెదను, యెహోవా నామమున ప్రార్థనచేసెదను
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18 ఆయన ప్రజలందరియెదుటను యెహోవా మందిరపు ఆవరణములలోను
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,
19 యెరూషలేమా, నీ మధ్యను నేను యెహోవాకు నా మ్రొక్కుబళ్లు చెల్లించెదను. యెహోవాను స్తుతించుడి.
In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
