< 2 Yohana 1 >
1 Kuh'oma kwa nseya kulota kwa n'dala j'ha a ateulibhu ni bhana K'yara, ambabho j'hanibhaganili mu bhukuweli na sio nene tubali ni bhoha bhola bhebhabhumanyili bhukweli.
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 Kwa ndabha j'ha bhukweli bhwabhuj'helekesibhu mugati mwitu na j'haj'hibeta kutamesya pamonga nalu milele. (aiōn )
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (aiōn )
3 Neema, rehema, amani sibetakuj'ha natu kuh'omela kwa K'yara Dadi ni kuh'omela kwa Yesu Kristu, mwana ghwa Dadi mu bhukweli ni bhuganu.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Nibekuhobhoka sana kuj'ha nigunduwili baadhi j'ha bhana bhilota mu bhukweli, kama tu kyatuj'hij'hemb'elili amri e'j'he kuh'oma kwa tata.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 Na henu nikubh'ola bhebhe, n'dala, siyo kuj'ha nikulembela amri mpya, bali j'hela j'hatuj'h kubhwandelu, kuj'henayu kuh'omela kubhwandelu, kuj'ha twilondeka kuganana j'hoto kwa j'hoto. Niobhu ndo luganu, twatuilondeka kubhoj'hesya, kul'engana ni amri j'ha muene.
And now I ask 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 Ej'he ndo amri kama kyamwaj'hip'heliki kuhomela kubhwandelu, kwamba mwilondeka kuk'hesya aghubaha.
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 Kwa kuj'ha bhasiyobhi bhingi bhasambele pa bhulimwengu ngai ni kubhakili kuj'ha Yesu Kristu ahidili ni m'mb'ele. O'j'ho ndo nsiyobhi na j'haikam'bela Kristu.
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 Mwilangaghe mwebhene ku'ha mwij'hesyalepi mambo ghala ghala tumalili kughabhombela mbombo. Lakini ili kuj'ha mubhwesiaghe kuij'ham'pelela tuzo kamili.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward.
9 J'hoj'hioha j'haij'hendelela kulongolo na itamusya lepi mulifundisyo lya Kristu, aj'he dumu nu K'yara. Muene j'haidumu mulifundisyo aj'henaku Tata ni Mean pia.
Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
10 Kama munu ihida kwa j'homu na iletadumu lifundisu e'le, musinkaribisi mu nyumba syenu na musimponesi.
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 Kwa kuj'ha j'haikamponesya ishiriki. mu matendo ghake manyari.
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
12 Njenaghu mambo mingi gha kukuj'handikila, na ndondeghelepi kughalemba mulikaratasi ni bhwino. Lakini nitumaini kuhida kwa muenga ni kulongela pamihu kwa pamihu, kuj'ha furaha j'hitu j'hikabhaghe kubhomba kinofu.
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 Bhana bha dada j'hinu nteule bhikabhasalimila ni kubhaponesya.
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
