< 2 John 1 >
1 [You all know me as] the [chief] Elder. [I am writing this letter] to all of you [MET] in your congregation. [God has] chosen [you], and I love you truly! Not only do I myself love you, but all those who know [and accept the] true message [that Jesus taught] also love you!
Daga dattijon zuwa ga uwar gida zababbiya da yayanta, wadanda nake kauna da gaskiya, ba ni kadai ba, amma da dukan wadanda sun san gaskiya -
2 All of us [believe God’s] true message. It is in our ([inner beings/hearts]) and we will continue [to believe it] forever! (aiōn )
domin gaskiya da take cikinmu za ta kuma kasance tare da mu har abada. (aiōn )
3 God the Father and Jesus Christ, who is (his Son/the man who is also God), will continue [to act] kindly and mercifully [toward us because they] love [us. They will enable us to have inner] peace, [because we believe] their true message.
Alheri da jinkai da salama za su kasance tare da mu, daga Allah Uba da kuma daga Yesu Almasihu Dan Uba, a cikin gaskiya da kauna.
4 I am very happy because I learned about some of you [SYN] who are conducting your lives in a manner that is (consistent/in accordance) with [God’s] true message. You are doing that just like our Father [God] commanded us [to do].
Na yi murna sosai sa'anda na sami wadansu yayanki suna tafiya cikin gaskiya, kamar yadda muka karbi wannan umarni daga Uba.
5 And now, dear congregation [MET], [there is something that] I am requesting you [to do]. I am writing this not to command that you do something new, but [that you continue to do] what God commanded when we first began [MTY] [to believe his true message. What he commanded] is that we love each other.
Yanzu ina rokon ki, uwar gida, ba kamar ina rubuta maki sabon umarni ba, amma wannan da muka samu tun da can, cewa mu kaunaci junanmu.
6 And [we really/truly] are loving [God] when we are conducting our lives in accordance with whatever he commands [us to do]. What he commands us to do is to continue [to love one another]. That is exactly what you heard when you first began [MTY] [to believe God’s true message].
Wannan kuma itace kauna, cewa mu yi tafiya bisa ga umarnin sa. Wannan shine umarnin, daidai kamar yadda kuka ji da fari, da cewa ku yi tafiya a cikinsa.
7 Many people who deceive [others have left your congregation and] have now gone out among other people who are [in your area] [MTY]. They are the ones who (do not acknowledge/refuse to say) that Jesus Christ became human. They are the very ones who deceive [people] and oppose [what we teach about] Christ.
Gama masu yaudara sun fito a duniya, wadanda ba su yarda cewa Yesu ya zo cikin jiki ba. Wannan ne mayaudari da kuma magabcin Almasihu.
8 [So] be sure that [you do not let those teachers deceive you]! If you let them deceive you, you will lose [the reward] which we, [together with you], have been working for, and you will not receive the complete reward [of being eternally united to God]!
Ku dubi kanku, domin kada ku rasa abubuwan da mu duka muka yi aiki a kansu, amma domin ku karba dukan sakamon ku.
9 Those who change what Christ taught and do not continue [to believe] what he taught do not have [a relationship with] God. [But] those who continue to believe [what Christ] taught have [a close relationship with] both [God, our] Father, and with (his Son/the one who is also God).
Duk wanda ya ci gaba da tafiya ba cikin koyarwa Almasihu ba, ba shi da Allah. Wanda ya zauna cikin koyarwar kwa yana tare da Uban da kuma Dan.
10 So when anyone comes to you who teaches something different from [what Christ] taught, do not welcome him into your homes! Do not [encourage him by] (wishing him well/greeting him as a fellow believer) [in any way]!
Duk wanda ya zo wurinku, ba tare da wannan koyarwar ba, kar ku karbe shi cikin gidanku, kada ma ku gaishe shi.
11 [I say that] because if you treat people like that as you would treat a fellow believer, [God will punish you] along with them for the evil that they do.
Domin duk wanda ya gaishe shi ya yi tarayya da shi kenan cikin miyagun ayyukan sa.
12 [Even though] I have much [more that I want] to tell you, I have decided not [to say it] in a letter [MTY]. Instead, I expect to be with you [soon] and talk directly with you. Then we can be completely joyful [together].
Ina da abubuwa dayawa da nake so in rubuta maki amma al'kalami tawada da takarda baza su iya daukar su duka ba. Amma duk da haka ina begen zuwa gare ki domin mu yi magana fuska da fuska, domin farin cikn mu ya zama cikakke.
13 Your fellow believers here [MET], ones whom [God] has also chosen, (send their greetings to you/say that they are thinking affectionately about you).
Yayan yar'uwarki zababbiya suna gaishe ki.
