Translate Card Japanese > English 2013/1/16 09:28
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help translate a card I recently recieved from Japanese in to English

http://telly.com/0KOD13

Unfortunately my Japanese is not at the level to read it myself quite yet, so any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance : )

It's a bit formal language/expression for greetings.

謹んで新年の お慶びを 申し上げます
つつしんで しんねんの およろこびを もうしあげます
I wish to state respectfully that the New Year bring many good things to you
(A formula for greetings for the new year.)
平成二十五年 元旦
へいせい 25ねん がんたん
Heisei 25 (A.D.2013), New Year's Day
巳 [in the box]

(year of) the snake
あけましておめでとうございます
A happy new year
昨年はケビンさんと出会えてとても幸せでした
さくねんは ケビンさんと であえて とても しあわせ でした
Last year, I was very happy that I got to meet Kevin-san
今年がケビンさんにとって幸せな一年でありますよう
ことしが ケビンさん にとって しあわせな 1ねんで ありますよう
May this year bring Kevin-san all the happiness
心から祈っております
こころから いのって おります
I hope with all my heart
