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—
Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go: Nna Johane Mogolwane wa phuthego. Ke lo kwalela: Siria mosadi yo o rategang, mongwe wa ba e leng ba Modimo tota, le bana ba gagwe ba ke ba ratang thata, jaaka mongwe le mongwe a ba rata mo phuthegong.
Ere ka boammaaruri bo le mo dipelong tsa rona ka bosakhutleng, (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.
Modimo Rara le Jesu Keresete Morwaone ba tlaa re segofatsa ka kutlwelo botlhoko e kgolo le kagiso, le ka boammaaruri le lorato.
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
Ke itumela thata jang go bona bangwe ba bana ba gago fano, le go ba bona ba tshela jaaka ba tshwanetse, ba setse boammaaruri morago, ba obamela taolo ya Modimo.
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.
Mme jaanong ke batla go lo gakolola ka bofefo ditsala tse di rategang, ka molao o mogologolo o Modimo o saleng o o re naya go tswa tshimologong, gore Bakeresete ba tshwanetse go ratana.
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.
Fa re rata Modimo, re tlaa dira sengwe le sengwe se o se re bolelelang. Mme o sale o re bolelela go tswa tshimologong gore re ratane.
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.
Itlhokomeleng mo baeteledingpele ba e seng ba boammaaruri, mme go na le ba le bantsi ba bone mo tikologong, ba ba sa dumeleng gore Jesu Keresete o tsile mo lefatsheng e le motho a na le mmele o o tshwanang le wa rona. Batho ba ba ntseng jalo ba kgatlhanong le boammaaruri le Keresete.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
Itlhokomeleng mo go nneng jaaka bone, lo bo lo latlhegelwa ke sekgele se lona le nna re ntseng re fufulela go se tsaya. Tlhomamisang gore lo amogela tuelo ya lona e e tletseng e e tswang kwa Moreneng.
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.
Gonne fa lo tlolela kwa pele go feta thuto ya ga Keresete, lo tlaa tlogela Modimo kwa morago; mme fa lo ikanyega mo dithutong tsa ga Keresete, lo tlaa nna le Modimo. Mme lo tlaa nna le Rara le Morwa.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
Fa mongwe a tla go lo ruta, mme a sa dumele se Keresete a se rutileng, lo se ka lwa bo lwa mo laletsa kwa malapeng a lona. Lo se ka lwa mo kgothatsa ka gope.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
Fa lo ka mo laletsa kgotsa lwa mo kgothatsa lo tlaa bo lo tlhakanetse nae boikepo jwa gagwe.
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.
Ke ne ke eletsa go bua tse dingwe, mme ga ke batle go di bua mo lokwalong lo, gonne ke solofela go tla go lo bona ka bofefo mme ke gone re tlaa buisanyang ka tsone re bo re nna le nako ya boitumelo.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
Bana ba ga kgaitsadio ba a go dumedisa, yo e leng mongwe wa ba ba itshenketsweng ke Modimo. Wa lona ruri, Johane.
