2 Johani 1
1 Kuzwa kumukulwana kuya kumwanakazi yoketetwe nivana vakwe, uzo unisaka mubuniti- mi isiñi fera ime, Linu nikwavo bonse vezi buniti-
The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Imi chisemu, kuluka, inkozo muive naswe niku nsuna kuzwa kwa Ireeza kuzwa kwe Shetu kuzwila kwa Jesu Kereste, mwana weshetu, muvuniti nirato.
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
4 Nisanga chavu kando kuti nivawani vamwi vanavenu bayenda mwiniti, sina mutuvatambwili iyi intayelo izwila kweshetu.
I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5 Imi hanu niku kumila, mwanakazi- isikuti niku ñolela intayelo ihya, kona itubazuwi kuzwa kutazi-mukuti tusakane,
And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
6 Imi ilinji rato, Ilikuti tuyende chetaelo yakwe. Iyi nji ntayelo, sina hamubazuwi kumatangilo kuti muyenda muyili.
And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
7 Mukuti vangi vachengi bachi vavayendi mwikanda, linu kavawambi kuti Jesu kereste avezi mwinyma, uzu njimuchengi mukuti kahena nji Jesu.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Mulilole inwe muvene, ilikuti kanji musinyehelwa icho chitu vasevelezi. kono Ilikuti tuka tambule mupuzo wizwile.
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9 Yense yoyenda havunsu nasekali mwituto za Jesu kena Ireeza. imi wikala mwitunto, Linu uzu njiwina Ishentu ni mwanakwe,
Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 linu iye wiza kwenu nasena yinu itunto, kanji mu mutambuli mwizuvo yenu kanji mu mulumeresa.
If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11 Mukuti iyemwine yo mutambula uwanika muchive cha mitendo yakwe.
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12 Nikwete zintu zingi zinilukela kuminolela, nina zintu zingi kono kani nsuni kuzi nola hepapili ni inke. Nihakuvabulyo, nilakaza kwiza kwenu zeni wambole nitulilolete, Ilikuti kusanga kwentu.
I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Bana vamwachako wachikazana vakurumelesa.
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
