2 Johana 1
1 An Jaduongʼ, Andikoni in miyo moyier kaachiel kod nyithindi mahero gadiera, ok an kenda, ema aheri to bende ji duto mongʼeyo adiera oheri
The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Ngʼwono gi kech kod kwe, moa kuom Nyasaye Wuoro kod Yesu Kristo wuode, biro bedo kodwa e adiera kod hera.
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
4 Ne abedo mamor kuom ngʼeyo ni nyithindi moko wuotho e adiera ka giluwo chik mane wayudo kuom Wuoro.
I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5 Koro, in minwa ma aluoro, akwayi ni mondo waherre ngʼato gi ngʼato; Chik ma andikonini ok en chik manyien; en mana chik mwasebedogo nyaka aa chakruok. Akwayo mondo waherre ngʼato ka ngʼato.
And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
6 To hera ma awuoyo kuomeni en ni mondo wawuoth kaka chik Nyasaye dwaro. To mana kaka ne usewinjo nyaka aa chakruok, chik Nyasaye en ni wuothuru e hera.
And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
7 Jo-miriambo mathoth, modagi yie ni Yesu Kristo ne obiro e ringruok, osebiro e piny. Ngʼat ma kamano en jawuond, kendo en e Jasik Kristo.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Omiyo ritreuru mondo gima usetiyone kik lalnu, eka unuyud mich magu duto.
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9 Ngʼato mokadho tongʼ, ma ok sik e puonj Kristo, oonge gi Nyasaye, to ngʼat mosiko gi puonj nigi Wuoro kaachiel gi Wuowi.
Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 Omiyo ka ngʼato obironu mapuonjo gima opogore gi puonjni to kik iyiene odonj e odi kata rwake,
If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11 nimar ngʼat morwake doko jakore e timbene maricho.
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12 An gi weche mangʼeny monego andikni, to ok adwar ndikonigi e baruwani. Kar timo kamano to ageno limi mondo awuo kodi wangʼ gi wangʼ eka mor marwa norom chuth.
I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Nyithind nyaminu ma Nyasaye oyiero ooroni mosgi.
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
