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!
Kupuma ku munyampala kulongela ku musungu ni muholwa ni ana akwe, naza nialoilwe mu tai ni shanga unene duu, ila ni ihi awo nia milingile itai,
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)
kunsoko a tai ni moli mukati itu hangi ni ikikie palung'wi nu sese i kali na kali. (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.
Ukende, upolo, ulyuuku ikutula nu sese kupuma kung'wa Itunda Tata nu kupuma kung'wa Yesu Kilisto, ng'wana nua Tata katikatai nu ulowa.
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].
Ndoilwe nangaluu kina nai ningile ang'wi a ana alongoe mu tai, anga uu udu nai kusingiiye ilagiilyo kupuma kung'wa Tata.
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.
Ni itungili kuusinja uewe, musungu, shanga kina kuuandikila ilagiilyo igeni, ila lilo iti ila nai kukoli ni lyenso pumiila ung'wandyo, kina kutakiwe kilowa usese ku sese. nu uwu wuwo ulowa, kutakiwe kulongoleka, kuniganiila ni ilagiilyo ni lakwe.
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].
Ili lilo ilagiilyo, anga naimigulye pumiila u ng'wandyo, kina mutakiwe kulongoleka mu lilo.
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.
Kunsoko ia kongili idu asapatie mu unkumbigulu, hangi shanga ikulya kina uYesu kilisto ai uzile mu muili, Uyu yuyo mukongili hangi mugilya kilisto.
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]!
Ikendegeeli akola kina shanga milimilya imakani ayo naika kondya kitumila mulimo, kuiti iti kina muhume kusingiilya kipegwa ni kikondile.
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).
Wihi nui longolekaa ntoneela nu kikie mu umanyisigwa nuang'wa kilisto, mugila Itunda. Nuanso nuikiie mu umanyisigwa ukete uTata nu Ng'wana ga.
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]!
Anga umuntu upembilye kitalanyu hangi shanga wiletaa imanyisigwa ili, Leki kumusingiilyi mi ito ni lanyu hangi leki kumulamushi.
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.
Kunsoko nuimulamushaa wihanguilaa mu ntendo niakwe ni mbibe.
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].
Nkete makani idu ni a kumukilisilya, hangi shanga ndoilwe kumakilisa mitutu nu ung'ole. Kuiti nsigiie kupembya kitalanyu nu kutambula usu ku usu, kina iloeelya ni litu lihume kuzipigwa likondile.
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).
Ana a muluna nu anyu musagulwa akumulamusha.
