< 2 John 1 >
1 The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known the truth,
Ngai mpaka; Epai ya mwasi moponami ya Nzambe, mpe epai ya bana na ye, oyo nalingaka kati na solo. Ezali ngai moko kaka te moto nalingaka bino, kasi mpe bato nyonso oyo bayebi solo.
2 because of the truth that is remaining in us, and with us shall be to the age, (aiōn )
Tolingaka bino mpo na solo oyo ezali kati na biso mpe ekozalaka elongo na biso tango nyonso. (aiōn )
3 there shall be with you grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Ngolu, boboto mpe kimia kowuta na Nzambe Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana ya Tata, ekozala elongo na biso kati na solo mpe bolingo.
4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father;
Nazalaki na esengo makasi ya komona ndambo ya bana na yo kotambola kati na solo, kolanda mobeko oyo tozwaki kowuta na Tata.
5 and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,
Mpe sik’oyo, mama molingami na ngai, nazali kokomela yo mobeko ya sika te, kaka mobeko oyo tozwaki wuta na ebandeli: Tolinganaka biso na biso.
6 and this is the love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the beginning, that in it ye may walk,
Mpe tala makambo oyo bolingo esengaka: kobika kolanda mibeko ya Nzambe. Yango nde mobeko oyo tosengeli kotosa, ndenge boyokaki yango wuta na ebandeli, mpo ete bobika kati na bolingo.
7 because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.
Bato ebele ya lokuta basili kopanzana na mokili, bazali kobungisa bato mingi nzela; bandimaka te ete Yesu-Klisto akomaki penza moto. Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ndenge wana azali moto ya lokuta mpe monguna ya Klisto.
8 See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive;
Boye, bosala keba mpo ete bobungisa te mbuma ya mosala na biso, kasi mpo ete bozwa lifuti ya kokoka.
9 every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son;
Moto nyonso oyo azali kowumela te kati na mateya ya Klisto, kasi abimi libanda na yango, azali moko te na Nzambe; nzokande moto oyo azali kowumela kati na mateya yango azali moko na Tata mpe na Mwana.
10 if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, 'Hail!'
Soki moto moko ayei epai na bino mpe amemeli bino mateya mosusu, boyamba ye te kati na bandako na bino, mpe bopesa ye ata mbote te,
11 for he who is saying to him, 'Hail,' hath fellowship with his evil works.
pamba te moto oyo apesi ye mbote asangani na misala na ye ya mabe.
12 Many things having to write to you, I did not intend through paper and ink, but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full;
Nazali lisusu na makambo ebele ya kokomela bino, kasi naboyi kosala yango na nzela ya lokasa mpe ya mayi ya ekomeli. Nazali na elikya ya koya kotala bino mpe ya kosolola malamu na bino, mpo ete esengo na biso ezala ya kokoka.
13 salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.
Bana ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, moponami ya Nzambe, batindeli yo mbote.
