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!
Uune kurti kulau na ina tarda nghe acara udu kitin ngantiwani ning nono me ule na ayi niyinghe duku ning kidegene na myeng cas ba, ning vat nale na idining kidegene.
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)
Bara kidegeng ka na kidi nanya bite na kiba yitu nanya bite saligang. (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.
Ubolu Kutelle, nkunekune, ununku kibinai mayifu nang narik, unuzu Kutelle nin Yesu Kristi Gonon Cif nanya kidegen ning nan soning.
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].
Nlanzanmang midiya bara nang nsennang nono fe din cinu nanya kideene na tina seru adualele kitin ncif.
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.
Tutung indi likerafe nene, gantiwani na nafo nang na yertin lidu lipese kitife ba ana too na tina lanza mburne. Au wu titii usuu linwana.
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].
Usuuwere une auwu ti cinu dert ning nadume. Adumere alele, nafo na una lanza mburne auwu ucinu nanya ni.
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.
Bara na anang rusuzu kiti gbardan nuzu nanya inye ale na inari yinu nin Yesu Kristi ku na adak nanya kidawo. Alelere among rusuzu kiti ning namong nari Kristi.
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]!
Yejen atimine, auwu iwa dira imon ine vat na tina suu katwa we mang.
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).
Ule na ame nya ubun na ayisina nanya ma dursuzu Kristi ba, na adining Kutelle ba. Ulena na yisna nanya madursuzuz adi nin cife nin Gonome.
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]!
Wase umong daa minu na daa nin dursuzu ulele ba na iwa serughe ba nanya ngamine ba, na i wa liseghe tutun ba.
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.
Ulena alisoghe amunu litme nin katwa ka nanzan.
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].
Indinin nimong gbardan na ima nyertinu minu nang dinin suu in nyertin ba nanya kubaga nin mmen ni nyert ba. Bara nani men din cisu kibinai ima dak tida suu uliru ti yerte ateumuro nin muro bara mmamng bite minan kulo kang.
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).
Nonon ngwanafe unan feruwe din lisuu fi.
