< 2 John 1 >
1 The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
Une chilongola junjekulwipe, ngunnembela mmwe Achikulu unsagulikwe ni Akunnungu pamo ni achiŵana ŵenu ŵangwanonyela mu usyene. Ngaŵa une jikape jungwanonyela, nambo iyoyo ni aŵala wose ŵakuumanyilila usyene akunnonyela ŵanyamwe,
2 For the truth's sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn )
ligongo lya usyene wo waukutama munkati mwetu, nombe chiutame nowe moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn )
3 Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Akunnungu Atati, ni Che Yesu Kilisito, Mwana jwa Atati, atupe umbone ni chanasa ni chitendewele mu usyene ni unonyelo.
4 I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
Nasengwile nnope panaiweni ŵanache ŵenu ŵampepe, akulonjela mu usyene mpela ila Atati yatite pakutulajisya.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Ni sambano Achikulu unsagulikwe ni Akunnungu, ngummenda ngaŵa kwakunlembela lilajisyo lyasambano, nambo ngunnembela lilajisyo lilalila litwalipochele chitandile kundanda kuti tunonyelane jwine ni jwine.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
Weleu ni unonyelo, kuti tutamaje nkugakunda malajisyo ga Akunnungu. Lyeleli ni lilajisyo lya Akunnungu, limwalipikene chitandile kundanda kuti, ntameje nkunonyelana jwine ni jwine.
7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.
Ŵakulambusya achajinji akopochele pachilambo, ŵandu ŵa ngakwitichisya kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaiche ni ŵaliji mundu. Mundu mpela jwelejo ali jwaunami ni jwakwakanila Kilisito.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Nipele, nlilolechesye mwachinsyene, kuti nkaisoyasya aila indu imwaipanganyichisye masengo, mwatendaga yeleyo ngampochela mbote jemalilwe.
9 Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Mundu jwalijose jwangakutama mmajiganyo ga Kilisito nambo akonjechesya ine mmajiganyo go, jwelejo ngakukamulangana ni Akunnungu. Nambo mundu jwalijose jwakutama mmajiganyo go, akukamulangana ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili, Atati ni Mwanagwe.
10 If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him happiness:
Mundu jwalijose aikaga kukwenu ni ngakunjiganya majiganyo ga Kilisito, nkampochela mmajumba genu namose kunkomasya.
11 For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds.
Pakuŵa jwakumpochela mundu mpela jwelejo akukamulangana nawo mu ipanganyo yao yangalumbana.
12 Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Ngwete gamajinji gakunsalila, nambo ngangusaka kutenda yele kwa kunlembela, nambo ngulolela chiiche kukwenu ni kukunguluka ni ŵanyamwe tuchiloleganaga kuti lukondwa lwetu lumalilwe.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
Ŵanache ŵa alumbu ŵenu jwasagulikwe ni Akunnungu akunkomasya.
