< 2 John 1 >
1 The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
Kuzwa kumupati kaluya kumwanakazi musale abana bakwe, aabo mbeyanda mukasimpe - alubo kutalindime endikke, Pesi abalabo boonse bakaziba kasimpe -
2 For the truth’s sake, which dwells in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn )
Nkambo kakasimpe kakkalilide mulindiswe elyo kanoli andiswe mane kukabe kutamani. (aiōn )
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Luzyalo, alwetelelo alumuuno zinoli aswebo kuzwa kuli Taata Leza akuzwa kuli Jesu Kkilisito, i Mwana wa Taata, mukasimpe amuluyando.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
Ndikondwa kapati kuti ndajana bamwi ibana bako kabeenda mukasimpe, mbuli mbutwakatambula mulawu oyu kuzwa kuli Taata.
5 And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Lino ndakukumbilisya, amwanakazi - kutali kuti ndilo kukulembela mulawu mupya, pesi ooyo ngotulawo kuzwa kumatangunino - wakuti twelede kuyandana umwi awumwi.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Olu luyando, ndotwelede kwendela mukwindila mumilawu yakwe. Ooyu mulawu, mbuli mbumwakamvwa kuzwa kumatangunino, kuti mwende muli nguwo.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Nkambo basilweno lwiingi balizwide akutobela inyika, elyo tabazumini ikuti Jesu wakalizide munyama. Ooyu ngusilweeno alubo ngusinkondonyina a Kkilisito.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have worked, but that we receive a full reward.
Amulilange, ikuti mutaswekelwi zintu nzitwakabelekela, pesi ikuti mutambule impindu izwide.
9 Whoever transgresses, and stays not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that stays in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
Kufumbwa oyo uyinkilila anembo elyo katakkalili munjiisyo yaKkilisito takwe Leza. Ooyo ukkalilila munjiisyo, oyu nguli a Taata antomwe a Mwana.
10 If there come any to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
Na umwi waza kuli ndinywe elyo katayeti injiisyo eyi, mutakamutambuli mungánda yenu alubo mutakamujuzyi.
11 For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Nkambo oyo umujuzya unoli wagwasyania awe kumilimo mibi.
12 Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Ndilazyiingi zyakukulembela, pesi tandibede achiyandisyo ikuti ndizilembe mubbuku amuleende. Nikuba boobo, ndila bulangizi bwakuza kuli nduwe elyo tuzowambule katulangene busyu kubusyu, nkokuti kukondwa kwesu kuzozuzikizigwe.
13 The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
Ibana bamuchizi wako musale balikukujuzya.
