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!
Nene gogo chilongosi, nikuyandikila veve Wamawu mweuhaguliwi na Chapanga pamonga na vana vaku venivaganili kwa mtima wangu woha. Namwene lepi mwenivaganili nambu na vala vevaumanyili uchakaka vavaganili nyenye,
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 g165)
tivaganili ndava muni uchakaka uwu utama mugati yitu na yati uvya na tete hati magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōn g165)
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.
Dadi Chapanga pamonga na Yesu Kilisitu, Mwana wa Dadi, vakutipela ubwina na lipyana na uteke, vindu ivyo vivyai pamonga na tete muuchakaka na uganu.
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].
Nasangalwiki neju panavaweni vana vaku vangi vitama muuchakaka ngati Dadi Chapanga cheatilagizi.
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.
Hinu, Mau mweuhaguliwi na Chapanga nivi na luyupu lumonga kwaku, tigananayi. Muhilu uwu wamupya lepi, ndi lilalila latavili nalu kuhuma utumbukanu nikuyupa tiganana.
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].
Wenuwu ndi uganu, ndi kutama kwa kuyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga. Ngati chemwatumbwili kuyuwana, muhilu uwu mganikiwa kutama kwa uganu.
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.
Muni vadese vamahele vahumalili pamulima, vandu vangayidakila kuvya Yesu Kilisitu abwelili kwitu ngati mundu. Mundu mweijova chenicho ndi mdese na akumbela Kilisitu.
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]!
Mujiyangalila mwavene muni mkoto kuyagisa gala gemwagahengelili lihengu, nambu mkakita chenicho mwipata lepi njombi yinu yeyitimiliki.
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).
Mundu yeyoha mweangatama mu mawuliwu ga Kilisitu, nambu akugaleka mambu gangi mu mawuliwu ago mundu mwenuyo avi lepi na Chapanga ndi mweilanda mawuliwu ago avi navu voha vavili, Dadi na Mwana.
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]!
Ngati mundu akabwelayi kwinu changali kuvaletela mawuliwu ga Kilisitu, mkoto kumpokela kunyumba yinu amala kumjambusa.
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.
Yeyoha mweakumpokela mundu mwenuyo, ndi iwungana nayu mukukita mambu gahakau.
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].
Nivi nagu gamahele ga kuvajovela, nambu mbwitu kukita chenicho kwa kuvayandikila. Nambu nigana kubwela tilongela mihu kwa mihu muni luheku lwitu lukamilikayi.
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).
Vana va mlumbu waku mweahaguliwi na Chapanga vakujambusa.
