2 Yohana 1
1 Inyarubha inu eisoka kumukaruka na eigenda kumugasi omusolwa na abhana bhaye, ahhana babho enibhenda muchimali na atali anye ela, tali na bhona bhanu bhamenyele echimali,
The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,
because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity. (aiōn g165)
3 Echigongo, ne echisa no omulembe bhilibha amwi neswe okusoka ku lata Nyamuangana ku Yesu Kristo Omwana wa Lata, muchimali na mukwenda.
May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
4 Enikondelelwa muno kutiya, namenya ati abhana abhandi bhalamile muchimali, lwakutyo chalamiye echilagilo chinu okusoka ku Lata.
I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.
5 Mbe naoli enikusabhwa awe mayi, nitali ati enikwandikila echilagilo chiyaya, tali ni ilya chaliga chilinayo okusokelela kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jichiile okwendana eswe abhene. Na bhunu nimwo obhwenji, bhunu bhuchiile kulama nabhwo, okwingana ne echilagilo chae.
And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
6 Chinu nicho echilagilo lwakutyo mwayunguhwe okusoka kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jibheile kulama mucilagilo echo.
And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.
7 Kulwokubha abhajigi bhafu bhasambalile muchalo, na bhatakwikilisha ati Yesu ejile ali mwana munu. Mbe oyo atakwikilisha kutyo niwe omujigi naunu kalema Kristo.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Mbe mwimenye abhene ati mwasiga okubhusha amagambo ganu chamalile okusombola, nawe koleleki mulamile echiyanwa chingene.
Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.
9 Omunu wonawona kagendelela okuja imbele atagwatiliye eliigisho lya Kristo, atali na Nyamuanga. Oyo agwatiliye eliigisho ali na Nyamuanga no Omwana waye.
Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
10 Labha omunu naja kwimwe atejile ne eliigisholinu, mwasiga okumukumilila munyumba jeswe na mawasiga okumukesha.
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.
11 Kulwokubha unu kamukesha kasasikana mubhikolwa bhaye ebhibhibhi.
For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
12 Nili na amagambo mafu ago kukwandikila, na nitendele okugandika kulupapura no obhwino. Nawe eniikanya ukubhakingako nilome imbele yemwe, koleleki likondelwa lyemwe likumile.
I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Abhana bha muyala wanyu omusolwa abhabhakesha.
The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
