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. 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 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 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.
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 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, 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 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.
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 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--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 Omiyo ritreuru mondo gima usetiyone kik lalnu, eka unuyud mich magu duto.
Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back 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.
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 Omiyo ka ngʼato obironu mapuonjo gima opogore gi puonjni to kik iyiene odonj e odi kata rwake,
If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.
11 nimar ngʼat morwake doko jakore e timbene maricho.
He who bids him Farewell is a sharer 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 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 Nyithind nyaminu ma Nyasaye oyiero ooroni mosgi.
The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.
