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 truth—and not only I, 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 will be with us 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 was overjoyed to find some of yoʋr children walking in the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father.
5 Imi hanu niku kumila, mwanakazi- isikuti niku ñolela intayelo ihya, kona itubazuwi kuzwa kutazi-mukuti tusakane,
And now I ask yoʋ, dear lady—not as writing yoʋ a new commandment, 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.
Now this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard it from the beginning, that you 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 have come into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This 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 we do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward.
9 Yense yoyenda havunsu nasekali mwituto za Jesu kena Ireeza. imi wikala mwitunto, Linu uzu njiwina Ishentu ni mwanakwe,
Everyone who transgresses and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching of Christ 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 and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not greet him;
11 Mukuti iyemwine yo mutambula uwanika muchive cha mitendo yakwe.
for whoever greets him takes part in his evil works.
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.
Although I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be full.
13 Bana vamwachako wachikazana vakurumelesa.
The children of yoʋr chosen sister greet yoʋ. Amen.
