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 Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.
I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding 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 will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
4 Ne abedo mamor kuom ngʼeyo ni nyithindi moko wuotho e adiera ka giluwo chik mane wayudo kuom Wuoro.
I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
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 am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us 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 should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life 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.
I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Omiyo ritreuru mondo gima usetiyone kik lalnu, eka unuyud mich magu duto.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Ngʼato mokadho tongʼ, ma ok sik e puonj Kristo, oonge gi Nyasaye, to ngʼat mosiko gi puonj nigi Wuoro kaachiel gi Wuowi.
Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses 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 any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.
11 nimar ngʼat morwake doko jakore e timbene maricho.
For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.
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 not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Nyithind nyaminu ma Nyasaye oyiero ooroni mosgi.
The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
