2 Yohana 1
1 Churji nindi iwandi a che ni wa u mirli wandi minyeme niba kpukpome ana hime ni kankirzi muwa, nibiwandi bato njanji.
The Elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I sincerely love in truth - and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth -
because of the truth which lives in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Tibi ni malati, ni sisro, ba sonita ni rji ubati yeni yesu almasihu vreji ni inyi njanji ninyeme.
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 sincere love.
4 min ngyiri kpukpome niwandi mito imri me bari bazere ni miyi njaji niyu wandi kikpa ngwroyi nitimbu.
I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have been commanded to do by the Father.
5 zizaa misi breu iyiko minasin ngya nwrosamambaniwuna iwayikife tunise tunturmu, ndikinyeme nikpambwu.
Now I ask you, dear lady, not as writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we sincerely love one another.
6 iwayi, i iwayimba binwro, abini wandi biwo in mumla, ndiduyi zere miyima.
This is sincere love: that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 bi gyurundi ba rju ni gbunblu biwandi banayeme ndi iverji ayenan diana ba babiandi ba gyrundi a nala nitingu ni vrerji.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world - those who don’t acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 ya kpambi, nahama ni kpe wandi kitindu tuma na yi, kpa sambi.
Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may get a full reward.
9 indyi wandi azerehini koshishi anahe myi nwro Almasihu na ana henirjina. iwandi a wonnwroa aheni tia-mba vre.
Anyone who doesn’t live in the teaching of Christ, but runs away from it, doesn’t have God. One who lives in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 indyi wandiaynyi anakpawroyina, nakpa nikombina, nachi menayi.
If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t welcome or receive that person into your house,
11 mpempebi iwandi achia bati kyumban ni miyi memkppe wandi anitia.
for the one who welcomes such a person participates in that person’s evil deeds.
12 mihenikpe gbugbwu iwandi misongya niwa u mbe ni-ma ungya na tsramena. tokimame misingyri soye kini treni kpanbu shishi mba shishi, nindu kinkiasrombu ndu shune.
Since I have so 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 speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13 imirli v vayime iwandi binyeme niwu bachiu.
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
