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—
Me, Asɔre Panyin, Mekyerɛw kɔma Awuraa a wɔayi no ne ne mma a medɔ wɔn, nokware no nti. Ɛnyɛ me nko, na mmom, wɔn a wonim nokware no nyinaa dɔ mo,
efisɛ nokware no te yɛn mu na ɛbɛtena yɛn mu akosi daa: (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.
Adom, mmɔborɔhunu ne asomdwoe mfi Agya Nyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo, Agya no Ba no nkyɛn, mmra yɛn so nokware ne ɔdɔ mu.
4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
Mʼani gyee sɛ mihuu sɛ mo mma no bi te nokware mu sɛnea Agya no hyɛɛ yɛn no.
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.
Enti mereka akyerɛ wo, Awuraa se, momma yɛnnodɔ yɛn ho. Eyi nyɛ mmara foforo a merehyɛ ama wo. Ɛyɛ mmara a wɔahyɛ ama yɛn fi mfiase.
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.
Saa ɔdɔ a mereka ho asɛm yi kyerɛ sɛ momma yɛntena ase na yɛnyɛ osetie mma Onyankopɔn. Mmara a mote fii mfiase no kyerɛ sɛ mo nyinaa, montena ase ɔdɔ mu.
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.
Nnaadaafo a wonnye nto mu no se Yesu Kristo baa ɔhonam mu no abɔ apete wiase. Saa nnaadaafo yi yɛ atorofo ne Kristo atamfo.
8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye na moanhwere nea moayɛ ho adwuma na moanya mo akatua wɔ mu no.
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.
Obiara a ɔntena Kristo nkyerɛkyerɛ mu no nni Onyankopɔn. Na nea ɔtena nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu no wɔ Agya no ne Ɔba no.
10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
Sɛ obi ba mo nkyɛn na wamfa saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi ammrɛ mo a, munnnye no wɔ mo fi na munnnye nʼani nso.
11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
Efisɛ obiara a ogye saa nipa no ka bɔne a ɔyɛ no ho.
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.
Mewɔ nsɛm pii kyerɛw brɛ mo, nanso mempɛ sɛ mɛfa krataa ne kyerɛwduru so aka. Mmom, mɛba abɛsra mo na me ne mo abɛkasa na ama yɛn anigye awie pɛyɛ.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
Wo nuabea a Onyankopɔn apaw no no mma kyia wo.
