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 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 Ngʼwono gi kech kod kwe, moa kuom Nyasaye Wuoro kod Yesu Kristo wuode, biro bedo kodwa e adiera kod hera.
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 Ne abedo mamor kuom ngʼeyo ni nyithindi moko wuotho e adiera ka giluwo chik mane wayudo kuom Wuoro.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a 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 beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we 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 commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
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 entered into the world, who confess not Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Omiyo ritreuru mondo gima usetiyone kik lalnu, eka unuyud mich magu duto.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we 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 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 Omiyo ka ngʼato obironu mapuonjo gima opogore gi puonjni to kik iyiene odonj e odi kata rwake,
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither wish him greetings:
11 nimar ngʼat morwake doko jakore e timbene maricho.
For he that wisheth him greetings is partaker of 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.
Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 Nyithind nyaminu ma Nyasaye oyiero ooroni mosgi.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
