2 John 1

1 The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,

Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go: Nna Johane Mogolwane wa phuthego. Ke lo kwalela: Siria mosadi yo o rategang, mongwe wa ba e leng ba Modimo tota, le bana ba gagwe ba ke ba ratang thata, jaaka mongwe le mongwe a ba rata mo phuthegong.

2 for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)

Ere ka boammaaruri bo le mo dipelong tsa rona ka bosakhutleng, (aiōn g165)

3 Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Modimo Rara le Jesu Keresete Morwaone ba tlaa re segofatsa ka kutlwelo botlhoko e kgolo le kagiso, le ka boammaaruri le lorato.

4 It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.

Ke itumela thata jang go bona bangwe ba bana ba gago fano, le go ba bona ba tshela jaaka ba tshwanetse, ba setse boammaaruri morago, ba obamela taolo ya Modimo.

5 And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another.

Mme jaanong ke batla go lo gakolola ka bofefo ditsala tse di rategang, ka molao o mogologolo o Modimo o saleng o o re naya go tswa tshimologong, gore Bakeresete ba tshwanetse go ratana.

6 The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.

Fa re rata Modimo, re tlaa dira sengwe le sengwe se o se re bolelelang. Mme o sale o re bolelela go tswa tshimologong gore re ratane.

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world--men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is 'the deceiver' and 'the anti-Christ.'

Itlhokomeleng mo baeteledingpele ba e seng ba boammaaruri, mme go na le ba le bantsi ba bone mo tikologong, ba ba sa dumeleng gore Jesu Keresete o tsile mo lefatsheng e le motho a na le mmele o o tshwanang le wa rona. Batho ba ba ntseng jalo ba kgatlhanong le boammaaruri le Keresete.

8 Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward.

Itlhokomeleng mo go nneng jaaka bone, lo bo lo latlhegelwa ke sekgele se lona le nna re ntseng re fufulela go se tsaya. Tlhomamisang gore lo amogela tuelo ya lona e e tletseng e e tswang kwa Moreneng.

9 No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.

Gonne fa lo tlolela kwa pele go feta thuto ya ga Keresete, lo tlaa tlogela Modimo kwa morago; mme fa lo ikanyega mo dithutong tsa ga Keresete, lo tlaa nna le Modimo. Mme lo tlaa nna le Rara le Morwa.

10 If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.

Fa mongwe a tla go lo ruta, mme a sa dumele se Keresete a se rutileng, lo se ka lwa bo lwa mo laletsa kwa malapeng a lona. Lo se ka lwa mo kgothatsa ka gope.

11 He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds.

Fa lo ka mo laletsa kgotsa lwa mo kgothatsa lo tlaa bo lo tlhakanetse nae boikepo jwa gagwe.

12 I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete.

Ke ne ke eletsa go bua tse dingwe, mme ga ke batle go di bua mo lokwalong lo, gonne ke solofela go tla go lo bona ka bofefo mme ke gone re tlaa buisanyang ka tsone re bo re nna le nako ya boitumelo.

13 The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.

Bana ba ga kgaitsadio ba a go dumedisa, yo e leng mongwe wa ba ba itshenketsweng ke Modimo. Wa lona ruri, Johane.
