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 presbyter to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all who have known the truth:
2 Nʼihi eziokwu ahụ nke dị nʼime anyị, nke ga-adịgidekwa nʼime anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi: (aiōn g165)
because of the truth which abideth in us, and shall be with us for ever: (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 be with you 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 rejoiced greatly that I found thy children walking in truth, as we have 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 beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we should 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.
And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, That ye 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 are gone out into the world, who do not confess Jesus the Messiah as come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an 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 we lose not the things which we have wrought, but 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 that transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, this man holdeth 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 person come unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house, nor say to him, Welcome.
11 Nʼihi na onye nabatara ya ga-eso onye dị otu a keta oke nʼajọ omume ya.
He that biddeth him welcome, takes part in his wicked works.
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 unto you, I would not do it with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be complete.
13 Ụmụ nwanne gị nwanyị, bụ onye a họpụtara, na-ekele unu.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
