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
From the elder, to the lady chosen by God and her children. I truly love you all, and I am not the only one but all who know the truth love you as well.
We love you for the sake of the truth, which lives 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 ours – the gift of God, the Father, and of 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.
It was a great joy to me to find the lives of some of your children guided by the truth, in obedience to the command that we received 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 implore you, dear lady, let us love one another This is not a new command I am writing to you. It is the command 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 – to live in obedience to the Father’s commands. This is the command as you learned from the beginning, to live a life of 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 have gone out into the world – men who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in flesh and blood. Any such person is a deceiver and antichrist.
8 Mikpɔ nyuie be nu si ŋu miedze agbagba le la nagage le mia si o, ke boŋ miaxɔ fetu si de blibo.
Take care so that you do not what we have worked for but instead receive your 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.
Anyone who goes beyond and fails to live inside of the teaching of Christ does not have God. The person who lives inside that teaching – they have 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 anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive them into your house or even welcome them;
11 Ame si xɔ ame sia la sɔ kple eya amea le eƒe ŋutasẽnuwo wɔwɔ me.
because the person who welcomes them is sharing with them in his evil 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.
Though I have many other things to tell you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come and see you, and to speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Nɔviwò nyɔnu tiatia la ƒe viwo hã do gbe na wò nyuie.
The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send you their greetings.
