2 Yohana 1
1 Inyarubha inu eisoka kumukaruka na eigenda kumugasi omusolwa na abhana bhaye, ahhana babho enibhenda muchimali na atali anye ela, tali na bhona bhanu bhamenyele echimali,
The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
For the truth's sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Echigongo, ne echisa no omulembe bhilibha amwi neswe okusoka ku lata Nyamuangana ku Yesu Kristo Omwana wa Lata, muchimali na mukwenda.
Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Enikondelelwa muno kutiya, namenya ati abhana abhandi bhalamile muchimali, lwakutyo chalamiye echilagilo chinu okusoka ku Lata.
I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 Mbe naoli enikusabhwa awe mayi, nitali ati enikwandikila echilagilo chiyaya, tali ni ilya chaliga chilinayo okusokelela kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jichiile okwendana eswe abhene. Na bhunu nimwo obhwenji, bhunu bhuchiile kulama nabhwo, okwingana ne echilagilo chae.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 Chinu nicho echilagilo lwakutyo mwayunguhwe okusoka kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jibheile kulama mucilagilo echo.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 Kulwokubha abhajigi bhafu bhasambalile muchalo, na bhatakwikilisha ati Yesu ejile ali mwana munu. Mbe oyo atakwikilisha kutyo niwe omujigi naunu kalema Kristo.
For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.
8 Mbe mwimenye abhene ati mwasiga okubhusha amagambo ganu chamalile okusombola, nawe koleleki mulamile echiyanwa chingene.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Omunu wonawona kagendelela okuja imbele atagwatiliye eliigisho lya Kristo, atali na Nyamuanga. Oyo agwatiliye eliigisho ali na Nyamuanga no Omwana waye.
Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 Labha omunu naja kwimwe atejile ne eliigisholinu, mwasiga okumukumilila munyumba jeswe na mawasiga okumukesha.
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him happiness:
11 Kulwokubha unu kamukesha kasasikana mubhikolwa bhaye ebhibhibhi.
For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Nili na amagambo mafu ago kukwandikila, na nitendele okugandika kulupapura no obhwino. Nawe eniikanya ukubhakingako nilome imbele yemwe, koleleki likondelwa lyemwe likumile.
Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 Abhana bha muyala wanyu omusolwa abhabhakesha.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
