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 unto 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 Imi chisemu, kuluka, inkozo muive naswe niku nsuna kuzwa kwa Ireeza kuzwa kwe Shetu kuzwila kwa Jesu Kereste, mwana weshetu, muvuniti nirato.
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 Nisanga chavu kando kuti nivawani vamwi vanavenu bayenda mwiniti, sina mutuvatambwili iyi intayelo izwila kweshetu.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 Imi hanu niku kumila, mwanakazi- isikuti niku ñolela intayelo ihya, kona itubazuwi kuzwa kutazi-mukuti tusakane,
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we 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 after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 Mukuti vangi vachengi bachi vavayendi mwikanda, linu kavawambi kuti Jesu kereste avezi mwinyma, uzu njimuchengi mukuti kahena nji Jesu.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Mulilole inwe muvene, ilikuti kanji musinyehelwa icho chitu vasevelezi. kono Ilikuti tuka tambule mupuzo wizwile.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Yense yoyenda havunsu nasekali mwituto za Jesu kena Ireeza. imi wikala mwitunto, Linu uzu njiwina Ishentu ni mwanakwe,
Whosoever 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 linu iye wiza kwenu nasena yinu itunto, kanji mu mutambuli mwizuvo yenu kanji mu mulumeresa.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 Mukuti iyemwine yo mutambula uwanika muchive cha mitendo yakwe.
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of 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.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 Bana vamwachako wachikazana vakurumelesa.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
