2 Jọn 1
1 Ọ bụ okenye ahụ, Na-edegara nwanyị ahụ onye Chineke họpụtara, na ụmụ ya akwụkwọ a, bụ ndị m hụrụ nʼanya nʼime eziokwu. Ọ bụghị naanị m kama ndị niile maara eziokwu ahụ.
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,
2 Nʼihi eziokwu ahụ nke dị nʼime anyị, nke ga-adịgidekwa nʼime anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi: (aiōn g165)
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us for the age (aiōn g165):
3 Amara, na ebere, na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna na Jisọs Kraịst, bụ Ọkpara Nna ahụ dịnyere anyị nʼeziokwu nʼịhụnanya.
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.
4 Apụghị m ịkọ ụdị aṅụrị m nwere mgbe m hụrụ na ụfọdụ ụmụ gị na-ebi ndụ ịgbaso eziokwu dịka ihe Nna nyere anyị nʼiwu.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 Ma ugbu a, ezi nwanyị, ọ bụghị iwu ọhụrụ ka m na-edere gị kama nke ahụ e nyere anyị site na mmalite. Ana m arịọ ka anyị hụrịta ibe anyị nʼanya.
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.
6 Nke a bụ ịhụnanya ahụ: ka anyị na-ejegharị nʼirube isi nʼiwu ya niile. Dịka unu si nụ ya site na mmalite, unu ahapụkwala ijegharị nʼime ya.
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.
7 Nʼihi na ọtụtụ ndị nduhie apụọla baa nʼụwa, bụ ndị na-adịghị ekwenye na Jisọs Kraịst bịara nʼoyiyi mmadụ. Onye ọbụla dị otu a bụ onye nduhie bụrụkwa onye na-emegide Kraịst.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8 Lezienụ anya, ka unu ghara itufu ụgwọ ọrụ nke anyị dọgburu onwe anyị nʼọrụ maka ya, kama ka unu nata ụgwọ ọrụ unu nʼuju.
Watch yourselves, that we do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Onye ọbụla na-adịghị anọgide nʼozizi Kraịst, nke na-esite na ya na ewezuga onwe ya, enweghị Chineke. Ma onye ọbụla na-anọgide nʼozizi ahụ nwere Nna na Ọkpara ya.
Whoever transgresses and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla abịa izi unu ihe ọzọ dị iche site nʼozizi a, unu akpọbatala ya nʼụlọ unu, maọbụ nabatakwa ya.
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 Nʼihi na onye nabatara ya ga-eso onye dị otu a keta oke nʼajọ omume ya.
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
12 Ọ bụ ezie na enwere m ọtụtụ ihe m chọrọ idere unu, ma achọghị m iji akwụkwọ na inki dee ha. Kama, ana m ele anya ịbịa leta unu ka mụ na unu kwukọrịta okwu ihu nʼihu, ka e sikwa otu a mee ka ọṅụ anyị zuo oke.
Having many things to write to you, I do not 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.
13 Ụmụ nwanne gị nwanyị, bụ onye a họpụtara, na-ekele unu.
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
