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!
Afume hwa gogolo abhalehwa she yasaluulwe na bhana bhakwe, bhembage ne mulyoli, senemwene, lelo na bhaala bhabhaimenye elyoli,
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)
sababu yelyoli yeli mumoyo wetu yeli mumoyo wetu yehaikhala nate wila na wila. (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.
Eneema, ne usajile, nuluseshelo zyaibhanate afume hwa Ngulubhe uise witu nafume hwa Yesu Kristu umwana wa Ngulubhe hu lyoli no lugano.
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].
Esungwa tee nelole abhana benyu bamo bhazifuata enongwa ezye lyoli, neshi shataiposhie endajizyo ene afume hwa Baba.
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.
Neshi ehubhuula awe, wushe sehuje ehusimbila endajizyo empya, ila ajetigananaje tete. Olu lwolugano, lwatihwanziwa abhale nalwo, afuatane nendajizyo zyakwe.
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].
Olu lwalula olulajizyo lwa mwahomvwezye ahwande hale huje muhwaziwa abhalenalwo.
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.
Afwatane aje abhilenga bhinji bhali shaahamunsi, nantele sebhahumwetehau Yesu aje ahenzile nu bele pansi. Onu yakhopela ilenga, nuyahukhana uYesu.
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]!
Muhwiyenye mwemwe huje msahagatezye gaala gataga bhombeye embombo, nkamwahejelele ushahara gwenyu hwa mwene.
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).
Yayonti ula yahwendelela hwitagalila na siga adiila mumanyizyo zya Yesu, uyo siga ali nu Ngulubhi. Ulayadiila mumanyizyo zya Ngulubhe uyo ali nu Baba nu 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]!
Omuntu yayonti yahwenza hulimwe saaleta emanyizyo zyazifuma hwa Ngulubhi, omuntu uyo musahamwambilile munyumba zyenyu nantele musahalamushe.
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.
Omuntu yahulamuha omuntu neshuyo abhaahwavwanwa embibhi nu muntu uyo.
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].
Endinago minji agabhasimbile, na senahanzaga asimbe mwikalata nuwino. Lelo ehwanza aje ehenze nene nayanje namwe, ili uluseshelo lwetu lubhe shinza.
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).
Abhana bha yilumbu wenyu usalulwe bhabhalamuha.
