2. Jánov list

1 (KAT) Ja, starší, vyvolenej panej a jej deťom, ktoré v pravde milujem, - a nielen ja sám, ale aj všetci, čo poznali pravdu -,
1 (VUL) Presbyter electae dominae et filiis eius, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes, qui noverunt veritatem,
1 (UKJV) "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 (KAT) kvôli pravde, ktorá v nás zostáva a bude s nami naveky.
2 (VUL) propter veritatem, quae permanet in nobis et nobiscum erit in sempiternum.
2 (UKJV) For the truth's sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us for ever.

3 (KAT) Bude s nami milosť, milosrdenstvo a pokoj od Boha Otca i od Ježiša Krista, Otcovho Syna, v pravde a láske.
3 (VUL) Erit nobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre et a Iesu Christo, Filio Patris, in veritate et caritate.
3 (UKJV) 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. (o. agape)

4 (KAT) Veľmi som sa zaradoval, keď som našiel medzi tvojimi deťmi také, čo žijú v pravde, ako sme dostali prikázanie od Otca.
4 (VUL) Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
4 (UKJV) I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

5 (KAT) A teraz ťa, pani, prosím - ale nie akoby som ti písal nové prikázanie, len to, ktoré sme mali od začiatku -, aby sme jeden druhého milovali.
5 (VUL) Et nunc rogo te, domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
5 (UKJV) And now I plead to you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

6 (KAT) A to je láska: žiť podľa jeho prikázaní. To je to prikázanie, ktoré ste počuli od začiatku, aby ste podľa neho žili.
6 (VUL) Et haec est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata eius; hoc mandatum est, quemadmodum audistis ab initio, ut in eo ambuletis.
6 (UKJV) And this is love, (o. agape) that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as all of you have heard from the beginning, all of you should walk in it.

7 (KAT) Lebo vyšlo do sveta mnoho zvodcov, ktorí nevyznávajú, že Ježiš Kristus prišiel v tele. To je zvodca a antikrist.
7 (VUL) Quoniam multi seductores prodierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Iesum Christum venientem in carne; hic est seductor et antichristus.
7 (UKJV) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8 (KAT) Dávajte si pozor, aby ste neprišli o to, na čom ste pracovali, ale aby ste dostali plnú odmenu.
8 (VUL) Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis, quae operati estis, sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
8 (UKJV) Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9 (KAT) Ktokoľvek zachádza ďalej a neostáva v Kristovom učení, nemá Boha. Kto ostáva v jeho učení, ten má aj Otca, aj Syna.
9 (VUL) Omnis, qui ultra procedit et non manet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet; qui permanet in doctri na, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
9 (UKJV) Whosoever trangresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.

10 (KAT) Ak niekto prichádza k vám a neprináša toto učenie, neprijímajte ho do domu, ani ho nepozdravujte.
10 (VUL) Si quis venit ad vos et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite accipere eum in domum nec “ Ave ” ei dixeritis;
10 (UKJV) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11 (KAT) Lebo kto ho pozdraví, má účasť na jeho zlých skutkoch.
11 (VUL) qui enim dicit illi: “ Ave ”, communicat operibus illius malignis.
11 (UKJV) For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

12 (KAT) Mnoho by som vám mal písať; nechcel som to urobiť na papieri a atramentom, lebo dúfam, že sa dostanem k vám a povieme si to ústne, aby naša radosť bola úplná.
12 (VUL) Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per chartam et atramentum; spero enim me futurum apud vos, et os ad os loqui, ut gaudium nostrum plenum sit.
12 (UKJV) 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 (KAT) Pozdravujú ťa deti tvojej vyvolenej sestry.
13 (VUL) Salutant te filii sororis tuae electae.
13 (UKJV) The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
