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 elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,
for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will 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, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from 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.
It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.
5 zizaa misi breu iyiko minasin ngya nwrosamambaniwuna iwayikife tunise tunturmu, ndikinyeme nikpambwu.
And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another.
6 iwayi, i iwayimba binwro, abini wandi biwo in mumla, ndiduyi zere miyima.
The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.
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--men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is 'the deceiver' and 'the anti-Christ.'
8 ya kpambi, nahama ni kpe wandi kitindu tuma na yi, kpa sambi.
Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward.
9 indyi wandi azerehini koshishi anahe myi nwro Almasihu na ana henirjina. iwandi a wonnwroa aheni tia-mba vre.
No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 indyi wandiaynyi anakpawroyina, nakpa nikombina, nachi menayi.
If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.
11 mpempebi iwandi achia bati kyumban ni miyi memkppe wandi anitia.
He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in 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.
I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete.
13 imirli v vayime iwandi binyeme niwu bachiu.
The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.
