2 Johani 1
1 Kuzwa kumukulwana kuya kumwanakazi yoketetwe nivana vakwe, uzo unisaka mubuniti- mi isiñi fera ime, Linu nikwavo bonse vezi buniti-
From the elder, to the lady chosen by God and her children. I truly love you all, and I am not the only one but all who know the truth love you as well.
We love you for the sake of the truth, which lives 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 ours – the gift of God, the Father, and of Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son – in truth and love.
4 Nisanga chavu kando kuti nivawani vamwi vanavenu bayenda mwiniti, sina mutuvatambwili iyi intayelo izwila kweshetu.
It was a great joy to me to find the lives of some of your children guided by the truth, in obedience to the command that we received from the Father.
5 Imi hanu niku kumila, mwanakazi- isikuti niku ñolela intayelo ihya, kona itubazuwi kuzwa kutazi-mukuti tusakane,
And now I implore you, dear lady, let us love one another This is not a new command I am writing to you. It is the command we have had from the beginning. – Let us love one another.
6 Imi ilinji rato, Ilikuti tuyende chetaelo yakwe. Iyi nji ntayelo, sina hamubazuwi kumatangilo kuti muyenda muyili.
And this is love – to live in obedience to the Father’s commands. This is the command as you learned from the beginning, to live a life of love.
7 Mukuti vangi vachengi bachi vavayendi mwikanda, linu kavawambi kuti Jesu kereste avezi mwinyma, uzu njimuchengi mukuti kahena nji Jesu.
I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world – men who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in flesh and blood. Any such person is a deceiver and antichrist.
8 Mulilole inwe muvene, ilikuti kanji musinyehelwa icho chitu vasevelezi. kono Ilikuti tuka tambule mupuzo wizwile.
Take care so that you do not what we have worked for but instead receive your full reward.
9 Yense yoyenda havunsu nasekali mwituto za Jesu kena Ireeza. imi wikala mwitunto, Linu uzu njiwina Ishentu ni mwanakwe,
Anyone who goes beyond and fails to live inside of the teaching of Christ does not have God. The person who lives inside that teaching – they have 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 them into your house or even welcome them;
11 Mukuti iyemwine yo mutambula uwanika muchive cha mitendo yakwe.
because the person who welcomes them is sharing with them in his evil work.
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.
Though I have many other things to tell you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come and see you, and to speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Bana vamwachako wachikazana vakurumelesa.
The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send you their greetings.
