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 unto 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 Tibi ni malati, ni sisro, ba sonita ni rji ubati yeni yesu almasihu vreji ni inyi njanji ninyeme.
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 min ngyiri kpukpome niwandi mito imri me bari bazere ni miyi njaji niyu wandi kikpa ngwroyi nitimbu.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 zizaa misi breu iyiko minasin ngya nwrosamambaniwuna iwayikife tunise tunturmu, ndikinyeme nikpambwu.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 iwayi, i iwayimba binwro, abini wandi biwo in mumla, ndiduyi zere miyima.
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye 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 are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 ya kpambi, nahama ni kpe wandi kitindu tuma na yi, kpa sambi.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 indyi wandi azerehini koshishi anahe myi nwro Almasihu na ana henirjina. iwandi a wonnwroa aheni tia-mba vre.
Whosoever 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 indyi wandiaynyi anakpawroyina, nakpa nikombina, nachi menayi.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:
11 mpempebi iwandi achia bati kyumban ni miyi memkppe wandi anitia.
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his 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.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 imirli v vayime iwandi binyeme niwu bachiu.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
