< 2 John 1 >

1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that 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 for the truth’s sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)
nítorí òtítọ́ tí ń gbé inú wa, yóò sì bá wa gbé títí: (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, 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 rejoice greatly that I have found [certain] of thy children walking 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 beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we 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 walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
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 For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh 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 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye 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 Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath 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 cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into [your] house, and give him no 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 he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.
Nítorí ẹni tí ó bá kí kú ààbọ̀, ó ní ọwọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ búburú rẹ̀.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write them] with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be fulfilled.
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 thine elect sister salute thee.
Àwọn ọmọ arábìnrin rẹ àyànfẹ́ kí ọ.
