Yohanes 2 1
1 Nye, hamemegã tsitsitɔ gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na hamenyɔnu lɔlɔ̃a si nye Mawu ƒe ame tiatia tɔxɛ, ame si melɔ̃na vevie la kple viawo katã. Menye nye ɖekae o, ke boŋ ame siwo katã dze si nyateƒe la
The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.
I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Amenuveve, nublanuikpɔkpɔ kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu Fofo la kple Yesu Kristo, Fofo la ƒe Vi la gbɔ la nanɔ anyi kpli mi le nyateƒe kple lɔlɔ̃ me.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
4 Enye dzidzɔ gã aɖe nam be makpɔ be viwò aɖewo le agbe nɔm le nyateƒea me abe ale si Fofo la de se na míe ene.
I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Eye azɔ la, nyɔnu lɔlɔ̃a, menye se bubu aɖekee mele dedem na mi o, ke boŋ esi ko miese tso gɔmedzedzea me ke, mele biabiam be mialɔ̃ mia nɔewo.
And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.
6 Lɔlɔ̃ lae nye be míawɔ ɖe eƒe sededewo dzi. Abe ale si miese tso gɔmedzedzea me ene la, eƒe see nye be míanɔ agbe le lɔlɔ̃ me.
And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.
7 Ameblela geɖewo siwo mexɔe se be Yesu Kristo va abe amegbetɔ ene le ŋutilã me o la kaka ɖe xexea me. Ame siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nye ameblela kple Kristo ƒe futɔ.
I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Mikpɔ nyuie be nu si ŋu miedze agbagba le la nagage le mia si o, ke boŋ miaxɔ fetu si de blibo.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
9 Ame sia ame si afia nu si to vovo tso Kristo ƒe nufiafia gbɔ la, mele Mawu me o. Ke ame si lé Kristo ƒe nufiafia me ɖe asi la le agbe le Fofo la kple Vi la me.
Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.
10 Ne ame aɖe va kple nufiafia si mesɔ ɖe Kristo tɔ dzi o la, migado wòezɔ teti hã nɛ o, eye migaxɔe ɖe miaƒe aƒe me kura o.
If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.
11 Ame si xɔ ame sia la sɔ kple eya amea le eƒe ŋutasẽnuwo wɔwɔ me.
For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.
12 Nya geɖe li si madi be maŋlɔ na mi, gake nyemaŋlɔe kple agbalẽŋlɔtsi kple agbalẽ o, ke boŋ mele mɔ kpɔm be mava kpɔ mi ɖa, eye míaɖo dze ŋkume kple ŋkume, ale be míaƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ nade blibo.
I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Nɔviwò nyɔnu tiatia la ƒe viwo hã do gbe na wò nyuie.
The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
