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 elect Cyria, and to her children, whom in truth I love with divine love; and not I, but also those having known the truth;
2 Nʼihi eziokwu ahụ nke dị nʼime anyị, nke ga-adịgidekwa nʼime anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi: (aiōn g165)
on account of the truth which abides in us, and shall be with us forever. (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, peace, shall be with us from God our Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and in divine 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 exceedingly because I have found some of thy children walking about in truth, as we received commandment from 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.
And now I entreat thee, O Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another with divine love.
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.
And this is the divine love, that we may walk about according to his commandments; this is the commandment, That, as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk about 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.
Because many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh; the same 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.
Take heed to yourselves, that you may not destroy those things which you have wrought, but may 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.
Every one going forth, and not abiding in the teaching of Christ, has not God; the one abiding in the teaching, the same 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 any one comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine; do not receive him into your house, and do not bid him God speed:
11 Nʼihi na onye nabatara ya ga-eso onye dị otu a keta oke nʼajọ omume ya.
for the one bidding him God speed partakes of 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 would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and mouth to mouth to speak to you, in order that our joy may be full.
13 Ụmụ nwanne gị nwanyị, bụ onye a họpụtara, na-ekele unu.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
