2 Yuhana 1
1 Uune kurti kulau na ina tarda nghe acara udu kitin ngantiwani ning nono me ule na ayi niyinghe duku ning kidegene na myeng cas ba, ning vat nale na idining kidegene.
To an eminent Christian Lady, and to her Children, from the Officer of the Church. I sincerely love you all, and not I only, but also all those who have learned to know the Truth.
We love you for the sake of that Truth which is always in our hearts; yes, and it will be ours for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Ubolu Kutelle, nkunekune, ununku kibinai mayifu nang narik, unuzu Kutelle nin Yesu Kristi Gonon Cif nanya kidegen ning nan soning.
Blessing, mercy, and peace will be ours — the gift of God, the Father, and of Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son — in a life of truth and love.
4 Nlanzanmang midiya bara nang nsennang nono fe din cinu nanya kideene na tina seru adualele kitin ncif.
It was a great joy to me to find the lives of some of your children guided by the Truth, in obedience to the command that we received from the Father.
5 Tutung indi likerafe nene, gantiwani na nafo nang na yertin lidu lipese kitife ba ana too na tina lanza mburne. Au wu titii usuu linwana.
And now, I pray you, Lady — not as though I were writing a new command for you; no, it is the command which we had from the first — Let us love one another.
6 Usuuwere une auwu ti cinu dert ning nadume. Adumere alele, nafo na una lanza mburne auwu ucinu nanya ni.
And this is love — to live in obedience to the Father’s commands. This is the Command as you learned from the first, to live in a spirit of love.
7 Bara na anang rusuzu kiti gbardan nuzu nanya inye ale na inari yinu nin Yesu Kristi ku na adak nanya kidawo. Alelere among rusuzu kiti ning namong nari Kristi.
I say this because many impostors have left us to go into the world — men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ come in our human nature. It is that which marks a man as an impostor and an anti-Christ.
8 Yejen atimine, auwu iwa dira imon ine vat na tina suu katwa we mang.
Take care that you do not lose the fruit of all our work; rather, reap the benefit of it in full.
9 Ule na ame nya ubun na ayisina nanya ma dursuzu Kristi ba, na adining Kutelle ba. Ulena na yisna nanya madursuzuz adi nin cife nin Gonome.
Every one who goes beyond the limits of the Teaching of the Christ has failed to find God; the man who keeps to that Teaching — he has found both the Father and the Son.
10 Wase umong daa minu na daa nin dursuzu ulele ba na iwa serughe ba nanya ngamine ba, na i wa liseghe tutun ba.
If any one comes to you and does not bring this Teaching, do not receive him into your house or welcome him;
11 Ulena alisoghe amunu litme nin katwa ka nanzan.
for the man who welcomes him is sharing with him in his wicked work.
12 Indinin nimong gbardan na ima nyertinu minu nang dinin suu in nyertin ba nanya kubaga nin mmen ni nyert ba. Bara nani men din cisu kibinai ima dak tida suu uliru ti yerte ateumuro nin muro bara mmamng bite minan kulo kang.
Though I have a great deal to say to you, I would rather not trust it to paper and ink, but I am hoping to come and see you, and to speak with you face to face, so that your joy may be complete.
13 Nonon ngwanafe unan feruwe din lisuu fi.
The children of your eminent sister send you their greetings.
