2 Yohana 1
1 Bu'ka kwa mpindo, linga kwa nwawa ywa saulilwe na bana bake, banapenda kitumbu sa kweli, na'penda kwaku kisangu, kwa bhandu boti baitangite kweli,
The elder to 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;
For the truth's sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Neema, samilwa na amani, yabaa pamope na twee buka kwa Nnungu Tati bitu na Yesu Kirisitu mwana wa Tati ba kweli na upendo.
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.
4 Nipulaike muno kwa kitumbu niibweni panga, bingi ba bana bitu batama mu kweli Kati twenga mwatupoki ayi amuli Buka kwa Tati.
I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 Yambi ino, nendo kuluba wenga wa nwawa, nikupeya kwaku amuli ya ayambi, yiyilya yatwabi nayo buka tangu, panga tupalikwa pendana twabene na bene. Na wuno nga upendo tupalikwa tutame Kati amuli yake mwaipala.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 Yino nga yilu amuli yamwaiyubwine buka tangu, panga mupalikwa mutame Kati mwaibaya Ayo amuli.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 Kwa kitumbu sa abusu bambone batwilimu Dunia, na bakani yikitya panga, Yesu Kirisitu aaisi kwa ndila ya yiga, Ayu nga yulu nkongi ayikitya kwaku ukakapewa Kirisitu.
For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.
8 Mwilingu mwabene panga mwobeya kwa gala gatuyomwile ga pangya lyengo, Lakini lengapanga muweze kwipokiya zawadi kamili
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Jwo jwote jwa nyendelya nnonge adumu mu mupundiso ga Kristo, utupo Nnongo, jwembe jwadumu mu mupundiso abina tate na mwana Kai.
Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 Mana mundu kaisa kasinu na aletike kwa lipundiso leni, kana munkaribishe mu nyumba yinu na kana mwampange abari.
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him happiness:
11 Kwa sababu jwa usalimia ushirikiana naye na makowe gake mabou.
For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Nibii na makowe gananchima ga kumwandikiya, na nigaandike kwa napendi kwa kuga andika kwa karatasi na wino. Ila nitamaniya isa kayino na longela nkano kwa nkano, panga pura yinu ipate panga kamili.
Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 Bana bannobo winu ncha ulilwa nenda kwa salimu.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
