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!
Upa pa in thutak sung ah ka it mama; keima bek hi ngawl in, thutak a he theampo in zong a it, tealtuam nupi nu le a tate tung ah;
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)
I sung ah om in, a tawntung in a om tu thutak hang in hong it khi hi. (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.
Pa Pathian kung pan a hi zong, Pathian Tapa Jesus Christ kung pan a hi zong, thutak le itna sung ah hesuakna, thuthiamna le thinnopna te note tung ah om tahen.
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].
Pa kung pan in i san thupiak te bang in na tate thutak sung ah nungta hi, ci ka mu ciang in ka lungdam mama hi.
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.
Tu in na kung ah thupiak a thak bang in hong at ngawl khi hi, ahihang, upat tak nupi nu, a ki patcil pan i nei sa bang in eite khat le khat ki it tu in kong thum hi.
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].
A thupiak te zui in i nuntak na sia itna hi. Piansakna pan na zaksa uh bang in ta sung ma ah na nuntak tu uh thupiak a hihi.
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.
Jesus Christ sia cilesa taw hongpai hi, ci a hil ngawl leilot ngual theam te hileitung ah tum zo hi. Hi te sia ngualtheam le Christ langpan te a hihi.
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]!
I sepna te bothong ngawl in, thaman a cing in i nga thei natu, noma le noma kikeam vun.
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).
A kuamapo Christ i hilna sung ah kip ngawl in, a paikhial te in Pathian nei ngawl hi. Christ hilna sung ah a kho te in Pa le Tapa a ni ma in nei hi.
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]!
Tua ki hil na a nei ngawl khatpo no kung ah hongpai a hile, na inn uh ah tungsak heak vun, Pathian min taw nukset in paupui heak vun:
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.
Banghangziam cile ama sia Pathian min taw nukset in na paupui uh le thupha ngawl a vawt na ah a pawlpui suak tu nu hi.
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].
No kung ah kong at nop tam mama om lai napi, laina le laitui taw at ngawl tu khi hi: ahihang keima noma kung ah hongpai in, maitang kisi in ki paupui tu lamen khi hi, tabang in i lungdam na dim tu hi.
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).
Tealtuam na suapui nu i tate in zong nangma nukset in hong paupui hi. Amen.
