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!
Na da Asigilai Dunu. Na da dogolegei Uda amola ea manolali, dilima meloa dedene iaha. Na dilima bagadewane asigisa, be na fawane hame. Dunu huluane amo da dafawane hou lalegagui, ili amola da dilima bagadewane asigisa.
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)
Bai dafawanedafa hou da ninia dogo ganodini diala amola mae fisili eso huluane dialumu. (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.
Ada Gode amola Ada Egefe amo Yesu Gelesu da hahawane dogolegele iasu, gogolema: ne olofosu amola olofosudafa ninima imunu da defea. Amo hou da dafawane hou amola asigi hou amo ganodini ninia dogo ganodini aligila sa: i dagoi ba: mu da defea.
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 da dilia fi mogili da dafawane hou (Adadafa ninia hamoma: ne sia: i dagoi liligi amo defele), amo ganodini esala nababeba: le, hahawane ba: i.
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.
Amaiba: le, dogolegei Uda, na dima edegesa. Ninia gilisili enoma enoma asigimu da defea. Amo sia: na dima dedesa da gaheabolo hamoma: ne sia: i hame. Ninia da amo hamoma: ne sia: i degabo nabi eso amogainini wali nabala.
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].
Na waha asigili sia: sa hou bai da agoane diala. Asigidafa hou lalegaguiba: le, ninia Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i huluane nabawane hamomu da defea. Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i liligi amo dilia lalegagui eso amoga nabi da amane. E da dili huluane asigidafa hou amo ganodini esaloma: ne sia: i.
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.
Ogogosu dunu bagohame da osobo bagade bega: bega: ogogole olelemusa: asi. Ilia da Yesu Gelesu osobo bagade dunu da: i hodo laiwane osobo bagadega misi da dafawane hame ogogole sia: sa. Agoaiwane dunu da ogogosu. E da Gelesuma ha lai.
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]!
Amaiba: le, dilia da hawa: hamobeba: le bidi huluane lamu amo fisisa: besa: le, dawa: ma!
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).
Nowa dunu da Yesu Gelesu Ea olelei amo mae dawa: le, amo olelesu baligisia, e da Godema hame madelagi. Be nowa da Yesu Gelesu Ea olelesu amo defele olelesa, amo dunu da Adadafa amola Egefedafa, Ema madelagi dagoi.
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]!
Amaiba: le, dunu eno da sia: eno olelemusa: masea, defea, dilia amo dunu dilia diasuga mae yosia: ma! Amola ema ‘Olofosu dima dialoma!’ mae sia: ma.
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.
Bai nowa dunu da ogogosu dunuma ‘Olofosu dialoma!’ sia: sa, e da amo dunu ea wadela: i hamobe amoma gilisisa.
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].
Na da dilima adomu bagade gala. Be amo meloa ganodini dedemu hamedei agoane ba: sa. Be na da dilima misini dilia odagia sia: musa: dawa: lala. Amasea, ninia gilisili hahawane ba: mu.
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).
Dilia dogolegei Dalusi ea mano da dilima asigi sia: adosisa Sia: Ama Dagoi
