< 2 Yohana 1 >
1 Une chilongola junjekulwipe, ngunnembela mmwe Achikulu unsagulikwe ni Akunnungu pamo ni achiŵana ŵenu ŵangwanonyela mu usyene. Ngaŵa une jikape jungwanonyela, nambo iyoyo ni aŵala wose ŵakuumanyilila usyene akunnonyela ŵanyamwe,
The elder to the elect lady, and to her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all who know the truth;
2 ligongo lya usyene wo waukutama munkati mwetu, nombe chiutame nowe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
we all love you, on account of the truth that dwells in us, and which will be with us forever: (aiōn )
3 Akunnungu Atati, ni Che Yesu Kilisito, Mwana jwa Atati, atupe umbone ni chanasa ni chitendewele mu usyene ni unonyelo.
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 Nasengwile nnope panaiweni ŵanache ŵenu ŵampepe, akulonjela mu usyene mpela ila Atati yatite pakutulajisya.
I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in the truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Ni sambano Achikulu unsagulikwe ni Akunnungu, ngummenda ngaŵa kwakunlembela lilajisyo lyasambano, nambo ngunnembela lilajisyo lilalila litwalipochele chitandile kundanda kuti tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 Weleu ni unonyelo, kuti tutamaje nkugakunda malajisyo ga Akunnungu. Lyeleli ni lilajisyo lya Akunnungu, limwalipikene chitandile kundanda kuti, ntameje nkunonyelana jwine ni jwine.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 Ŵakulambusya achajinji akopochele pachilambo, ŵandu ŵa ngakwitichisya kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaiche ni ŵaliji mundu. Mundu mpela jwelejo ali jwaunami ni jwakwakanila Kilisito.
For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh: this is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Nipele, nlilolechesye mwachinsyene, kuti nkaisoyasya aila indu imwaipanganyichisye masengo, mwatendaga yeleyo ngampochela mbote jemalilwe.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not the things that we have gained, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Mundu jwalijose jwangakutama mmajiganyo ga Kilisito nambo akonjechesya ine mmajiganyo go, jwelejo ngakukamulangana ni Akunnungu. Nambo mundu jwalijose jwakutama mmajiganyo go, akukamulangana ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili, Atati ni Mwanagwe.
Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of the Christ, has not God: he that abides in the teaching of the Christ, has both the Father and the Son.
10 Mundu jwalijose aikaga kukwenu ni ngakunjiganya majiganyo ga Kilisito, nkampochela mmajumba genu namose kunkomasya.
If any one comes to you, and brings not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not wish him well:
11 Pakuŵa jwakumpochela mundu mpela jwelejo akukamulangana nawo mu ipanganyo yao yangalumbana.
for he that wishes him well, is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Ngwete gamajinji gakunsalila, nambo ngangusaka kutenda yele kwa kunlembela, nambo ngulolela chiiche kukwenu ni kukunguluka ni ŵanyamwe tuchiloleganaga kuti lukondwa lwetu lumalilwe.
Though I have many things to write to you, I determined not to communicate them by means of paper and ink: for I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
13 Ŵanache ŵa alumbu ŵenu jwasagulikwe ni Akunnungu akunkomasya.
The children of your elect sister greet you.
