2 Johana 1

1 Kuuma kũrĩ niĩ Mũthuuri wa Kanitha, Ndaandĩka marũa maya kũrĩ mũtumia ũrĩa mũthuure, o hamwe na ciana ciake, arĩa nyendete kũna kũna, na to niĩ nyiki, no nĩ hamwe na arĩa othe mamenyete ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma:

The elder To [the] elect lady and to the children of her whom I myself love in truth, and not I myself only, but also all those already knowing the truth —

2 makamwenda tondũ wa ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, ũrĩa ũtũũraga thĩinĩ witũ, o na ũgũtũũra na ithuĩ nginya tene: (aiōn g165)

because of the truth which is abiding in us and with us that will be to the age: (aiōn g165)

3 Wega, na tha, na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe, na kuuma kũrĩ Jesũ Kristũ, o we Mũriũ wa Ithe witũ, irĩikaraga na ithuĩ thĩinĩ wa ũhoro wa ma, na wa wendo.

Will be with us grace mercy [and] peace from God [the] Father and from (Lord *K*) Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.

4 Nĩngenete mũno nĩkuona ciana imwe ciaku igĩthiĩ na njĩra ya ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, o ta ũrĩa Ithe witũ aatwathire.

I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found [some] of the children of you walking in truth even as commandment we received from the Father.

5 Na rĩu, mũtumia ũyũ mwende, ti rĩathani rĩerũ ndĩrakwandĩkĩra, no nĩ rĩrĩa tũtũire narĩo kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria. Ngũũria atĩ twendanage mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.

And now I implore you, lady, not as a commandment new I am writing to you but that which we have had from [the] beginning, that we may love one another.

6 Naguo wendani nĩ atĩrĩ: Atĩ tũthiiage na njĩra ya gwathĩkĩra maathani make. O ta ũrĩa mũiguĩte kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria, rĩathani rĩake nĩ atĩ mũthiiage mũrĩ o na wendani ũcio.

And this is love that we may walk according to the commandments of Him. This the commandment is even as you have heard from [the] beginning, so that in it you may walk;

7 Aheenania, aingĩ arĩa matetĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ Kristũ ookire arĩ na mwĩrĩ, nĩmarorũũra gũkũ thĩ. Mũndũ ta ũcio nĩ mũheenania na nĩ mũmena-Kristũ.

For many deceivers (have gone out *N(K)O*) into the world, those not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8 Mwĩhũgagei nĩguo mũtigate kĩrĩa mũrutĩire wĩra, no mũtuĩke a gũkaaheo mũcaara wanyu ũrĩ wothe.

do watch yourselves so that not (you may lose *N(K)O*) what things (we have worked for, *NK(O)*) but a reward full (you may receive. *N(K)O*)

9 Mũndũ o wothe ũkĩraga njano akarega kũrũmĩrĩra ũrutani wa Kristũ, ũcio ndakoragwo na Ngai; no ũrĩa ũikaraga ũrutani-inĩ ũcio, we arĩ na Ithe witũ o na Mũriũ.

Anyone who (is progressing *N(K)O*) and not abiding in the teaching of Christ God not has; The [one] abiding in the teaching (of the Christ *K*) this [one] both the Father and the Son has.

10 Mũndũ o wothe angĩũka kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩ na ũrutani ũngĩ tiga ũcio-rĩ, mũtikanamũnyiite ũgeni o na kana mũmwamũkĩre kwanyu mũciĩ.

If anyone comes to you and this teaching not does bring, not do receive him into [the] house, and to greet him not do tell;

11 Mũndũ wothe ũngĩmwamũkĩra, nĩkũgwatanĩra magwatanĩire nake ciĩko ciake cia waganu.

the [one] telling for him to rejoice partakes in the works of him evil.

12 Ndĩ na maũndũ maingĩ ma kũmwandĩkĩra, no ndikwenda kũhũthĩra karatathi na rangi. Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ndĩrehoka kũmũceerera njaranĩrie na inyuĩ tũkĩonanaga, nĩgeetha gĩkeno giitũ kĩiganĩre.

Many things having to you to write not I purposed with paper and ink; but I hope (to come *N(k)O*) to you and mouth to mouth to speak so that the joy (of us *NK(O)*) completed may be.

13 Nĩmwageithio nĩ ciana cia mwarĩ wa maitũguo ũrĩa mũthuure.

Greet you the children of the sister of you elect (Amen. *KO*)
