2 John 1
1 The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known the Truth—
Ngai mpaka; Epai ya mwasi moponami ya Nzambe, mpe epai ya bana na ye, oyo nalingaka kati na solo. Ezali ngai moko kaka te moto nalingaka bino, kasi mpe bato nyonso oyo bayebi solo.
Tolingaka bino mpo na solo oyo ezali kati na biso mpe ekozalaka elongo na biso tango nyonso. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love.
Ngolu, boboto mpe kimia kowuta na Nzambe Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana ya Tata, ekozala elongo na biso kati na solo mpe bolingo.
4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
Nazalaki na esengo makasi ya komona ndambo ya bana na yo kotambola kati na solo, kolanda mobeko oyo tozwaki kowuta na Tata.
5 And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have from the beginning): that we love one another.
Mpe sik’oyo, mama molingami na ngai, nazali kokomela yo mobeko ya sika te, kaka mobeko oyo tozwaki wuta na ebandeli: Tolinganaka biso na biso.
6 And this is the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it.
Mpe tala makambo oyo bolingo esengaka: kobika kolanda mibeko ya Nzambe. Yango nde mobeko oyo tosengeli kotosa, ndenge boyokaki yango wuta na ebandeli, mpo ete bobika kati na bolingo.
7 Now many deceivers have come into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in flesh—this is the deceiver, even the Antichrist!
Bato ebele ya lokuta basili kopanzana na mokili, bazali kobungisa bato mingi nzela; bandimaka te ete Yesu-Klisto akomaki penza moto. Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ndenge wana azali moto ya lokuta mpe monguna ya Klisto.
8 Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward.
Boye, bosala keba mpo ete bobungisa te mbuma ya mosala na biso, kasi mpo ete bozwa lifuti ya kokoka.
9 Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ's teaching does have both the Father and the Son.
Moto nyonso oyo azali kowumela te kati na mateya ya Klisto, kasi abimi libanda na yango, azali moko te na Nzambe; nzokande moto oyo azali kowumela kati na mateya yango azali moko na Tata mpe na Mwana.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,”
Soki moto moko ayei epai na bino mpe amemeli bino mateya mosusu, boyamba ye te kati na bandako na bino, mpe bopesa ye ata mbote te,
11 because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works.
pamba te moto oyo apesi ye mbote asangani na misala na ye ya mabe.
12 Although I had many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
Nazali lisusu na makambo ebele ya kokomela bino, kasi naboyi kosala yango na nzela ya lokasa mpe ya mayi ya ekomeli. Nazali na elikya ya koya kotala bino mpe ya kosolola malamu na bino, mpo ete esengo na biso ezala ya kokoka.
13 The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
Bana ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, moponami ya Nzambe, batindeli yo mbote.
