< 2 John 1 >

1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,
Neni mzewi mlongoziya, nukulembera gwenga mawu yagusyagulitwi na Mlungu, pamuhera na wana waku yanuwafira muwunakaka. Neni ndiri gweka yangu hera yanuwafira, kumbiti viraa vilii woseri walii yawaumana unakaka ulii, wawafira mwenga,
2 for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
toziya ya unakaka yawulikala mngati mwetu na hawuwendereyi kulikala pamuhera na twenga mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Manemu na lusungu na ponga vyavilawiti kwa Mlungu Tati na kwa Yesu Kristu, Mwana gwa Tati, haviweri pamuhera na twenga munakaka na ufiru.
4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
Nemeleriti nentu panuwawoniti wamu wa wana waku wendereya kulikala munakaka, gambira Tati ntambu yakatulagaliriti.
5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Vinu mawu yagusyagulitwi na Mlungu, neni nukuluwa, nukulembera ndiri lilagaliru lya syayi, kumbiti lilagaliru liraa lilii lyatuweriti nalu kwanjira kwanja. Tulifiri twaweni kwa twaweni.
6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
Ufiru ndo awu, kulikala kwa kugajimira malagaliru ga Mlungu. Lilagaliru lyampikaniriti kwanjira kwanja ndo ali, mfiruwa kulikala kwa kuwulanguziya ufiru.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
Toziya wapayira wavuwa walawira mupasipanu, wantu yawajimira ndiri kuwera Yesu Kristu kiziti na kuwera muntu. Muntu gwa ntambu ayi kawera mpayira na mngondu gwa Kristu.
8 Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
Su muliloli weri maweni, su namushiyagamiziya shilii shamtenditi, kumbiti mpati kufupwa lifupu teratera.
9 Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Muntu yoseri yakashapira na kulikala ndiri mumafundu kuusu Kristu, kumbiti kankuvyongera vitwatira vyamonga mumafundu, muntu ayu kahera Mlungu. Muntu yoseri yakalikala mumafundu kuusu Kristu, yomberi kawera na Tati na Mwana.
10 If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
Su muntu yoseri pakiza kwa mwenga pota kuwajegera mafundu kuusu Kristu, namumshemera ukaya kwenu ama kumulamsiya.
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
Muntu yoseri yakamulamsiya muntu ayu, kankutenda pamuhera muvitwatira vyakuwi vya ukondola.
12 Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
Tembera nanaga gavuwa ga kuwalembera, kumbiti nfira ndiri kuwalembera. Su nankulolera kwiza namweni kuyowera na mwenga, su nemeleru ya mwenga iweri teratera.
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
Wana wa dada gwaku yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu, wankukulamusiya.
