2 John 1
1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,
Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go: Nna Johane Mogolwane wa phuthego. Ke lo kwalela: Siria mosadi yo o rategang, mongwe wa ba e leng ba Modimo tota, le bana ba gagwe ba ke ba ratang thata, jaaka mongwe le mongwe a ba rata mo phuthegong.
Ere ka boammaaruri bo le mo dipelong tsa rona ka bosakhutleng, (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Modimo Rara le Jesu Keresete Morwaone ba tlaa re segofatsa ka kutlwelo botlhoko e kgolo le kagiso, le ka boammaaruri le lorato.
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
Ke itumela thata jang go bona bangwe ba bana ba gago fano, le go ba bona ba tshela jaaka ba tshwanetse, ba setse boammaaruri morago, ba obamela taolo ya Modimo.
5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Mme jaanong ke batla go lo gakolola ka bofefo ditsala tse di rategang, ka molao o mogologolo o Modimo o saleng o o re naya go tswa tshimologong, gore Bakeresete ba tshwanetse go ratana.
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
Fa re rata Modimo, re tlaa dira sengwe le sengwe se o se re bolelelang. Mme o sale o re bolelela go tswa tshimologong gore re ratane.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
Itlhokomeleng mo baeteledingpele ba e seng ba boammaaruri, mme go na le ba le bantsi ba bone mo tikologong, ba ba sa dumeleng gore Jesu Keresete o tsile mo lefatsheng e le motho a na le mmele o o tshwanang le wa rona. Batho ba ba ntseng jalo ba kgatlhanong le boammaaruri le Keresete.
8 Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
Itlhokomeleng mo go nneng jaaka bone, lo bo lo latlhegelwa ke sekgele se lona le nna re ntseng re fufulela go se tsaya. Tlhomamisang gore lo amogela tuelo ya lona e e tletseng e e tswang kwa Moreneng.
9 Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Gonne fa lo tlolela kwa pele go feta thuto ya ga Keresete, lo tlaa tlogela Modimo kwa morago; mme fa lo ikanyega mo dithutong tsa ga Keresete, lo tlaa nna le Modimo. Mme lo tlaa nna le Rara le Morwa.
10 If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
Fa mongwe a tla go lo ruta, mme a sa dumele se Keresete a se rutileng, lo se ka lwa bo lwa mo laletsa kwa malapeng a lona. Lo se ka lwa mo kgothatsa ka gope.
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
Fa lo ka mo laletsa kgotsa lwa mo kgothatsa lo tlaa bo lo tlhakanetse nae boikepo jwa gagwe.
12 Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
Ke ne ke eletsa go bua tse dingwe, mme ga ke batle go di bua mo lokwalong lo, gonne ke solofela go tla go lo bona ka bofefo mme ke gone re tlaa buisanyang ka tsone re bo re nna le nako ya boitumelo.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
Bana ba ga kgaitsadio ba a go dumedisa, yo e leng mongwe wa ba ba itshenketsweng ke Modimo. Wa lona ruri, Johane.
