< 2 John 1 >

1 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—
Inyarubha inu eisoka kumukaruka na eigenda kumugasi omusolwa na abhana bhaye, ahhana babho enibhenda muchimali na atali anye ela, tali na bhona bhanu bhamenyele echimali,
2 because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
okwingana ne echimali chinu chili munda yeswe na chinu chilikala neswe akajanende. (aiōn g165)
3 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.
Echigongo, ne echisa no omulembe bhilibha amwi neswe okusoka ku lata Nyamuangana ku Yesu Kristo Omwana wa Lata, muchimali na mukwenda.
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
Enikondelelwa muno kutiya, namenya ati abhana abhandi bhalamile muchimali, lwakutyo chalamiye echilagilo chinu okusoka ku Lata.
5 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.
Mbe naoli enikusabhwa awe mayi, nitali ati enikwandikila echilagilo chiyaya, tali ni ilya chaliga chilinayo okusokelela kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jichiile okwendana eswe abhene. Na bhunu nimwo obhwenji, bhunu bhuchiile kulama nabhwo, okwingana ne echilagilo chae.
6 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.
Chinu nicho echilagilo lwakutyo mwayunguhwe okusoka kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jibheile kulama mucilagilo echo.
7 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.
Kulwokubha abhajigi bhafu bhasambalile muchalo, na bhatakwikilisha ati Yesu ejile ali mwana munu. Mbe oyo atakwikilisha kutyo niwe omujigi naunu kalema Kristo.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
Mbe mwimenye abhene ati mwasiga okubhusha amagambo ganu chamalile okusombola, nawe koleleki mulamile echiyanwa chingene.
9 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.
Omunu wonawona kagendelela okuja imbele atagwatiliye eliigisho lya Kristo, atali na Nyamuanga. Oyo agwatiliye eliigisho ali na Nyamuanga no Omwana waye.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
Labha omunu naja kwimwe atejile ne eliigisholinu, mwasiga okumukumilila munyumba jeswe na mawasiga okumukesha.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
Kulwokubha unu kamukesha kasasikana mubhikolwa bhaye ebhibhibhi.
12 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.
Nili na amagambo mafu ago kukwandikila, na nitendele okugandika kulupapura no obhwino. Nawe eniikanya ukubhakingako nilome imbele yemwe, koleleki likondelwa lyemwe likumile.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
Abhana bha muyala wanyu omusolwa abhabhakesha.
