2 John 1
1 The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.
Alàgbà, Sì àyànfẹ́ obìnrin ọlọ́lá àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn tí mo fẹ́ ní òtítọ́, kì í sì í ṣe èmi nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn tí ó mọ òtítọ́ pẹ̀lú;
2 I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
nítorí òtítọ́ tí ń gbé inú wa, yóò sì bá wa gbé títí: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, àánú, àti àlàáfíà, láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba, àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ Jesu Kristi, Ọmọ Baba, yóò wà pẹ̀lú wa nínú òtítọ́ àti nínú ìfẹ́.
4 I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
Mo yọ̀ gidigidi pé mo rí nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ tí ń rìn nínú òtítọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba ti pa àṣẹ fún wa.
5 And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, mo bẹ̀ ọ́, obìnrin ọlọ́lá, kì í ṣe bí ẹni pé èmi ń kọ̀wé òfin tuntun kan sí ọ, bí kò ṣe èyí ti àwa tí ní ní àtètèkọ́ṣe, pé kí àwa fẹ́ràn ara wa.
6 And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.
Èyí sì ni ìfẹ́, pé, kí àwa máa rin nípa òfin rẹ̀, èyí ni òfin náà, àní bí ẹ ti gbọ́ ni àtètèkọ́ṣe, pé, kí ẹ̀yin rìn nínú rẹ̀.
7 I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
Nítorí ẹlẹ́tàn púpọ̀ ti jáde wa sínú ayé, àwọn tí kò jẹ́wọ́ pé Jesu Kristi wá nínú ara. Èyí ni ẹlẹ́tàn àti aṣòdì sí Kristi.
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
Ẹ kíyèsára yín, kí ẹ má ba à sọ iṣẹ́ tí ẹ tí ṣe nù, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin lè rí èrè kíkún gbà.
9 Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.
Olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó bá ń rú òfin tí kò si dúró nínú ẹ̀kọ́ Kristi, kò mọ Ọlọ́run. Ẹni tí ó bá dúró nínú ẹ̀kọ́, òun ni ó mọ Baba àti Ọmọ.
10 If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá tọ̀ yín wá, tí kò sì mu ẹ̀kọ́ yìí wá, ẹ má ṣe gbà á sí ilé, kí ẹ má sì ṣe kí i kú ààbọ̀.
11 For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.
Nítorí ẹni tí ó bá kí kú ààbọ̀, ó ní ọwọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ búburú rẹ̀.
12 I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
Bí mo tilẹ̀ ní ohun púpọ̀ láti ṣe alábápín pẹ̀lú yín, síbẹ̀ èmi kò fẹ́ lo ìwé ìkọ̀wé àti jẹ́lú ìkọ̀wé. Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ní ìrètí láti tọ̀ yín wá àti láti bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀ lójúkojú, kí ayọ̀ yín bá à le è kún.
13 The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
Àwọn ọmọ arábìnrin rẹ àyànfẹ́ kí ọ.
