2 Yoane 1
1 Ngai mpaka; Epai ya mwasi moponami ya Nzambe, mpe epai ya bana na ye, oyo nalingaka kati na solo. Ezali ngai moko kaka te moto nalingaka bino, kasi mpe bato nyonso oyo bayebi solo.
THE Elder, to Kuria the elect, and to her children: whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but all they who know the truth;
2 Tolingaka bino mpo na solo oyo ezali kati na biso mpe ekozalaka elongo na biso tango nyonso. (aiōn g165)
for the sake of the truth, which abideth in us and is with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Ngolu, boboto mpe kimia kowuta na Nzambe Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Mwana ya Tata, ekozala elongo na biso kati na solo mpe bolingo.
May grace be with you, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Nazalaki na esengo makasi ya komona ndambo ya bana na yo kotambola kati na solo, kolanda mobeko oyo tozwaki kowuta na Tata.
I have rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children, who walked in the truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.
5 Mpe sik’oyo, mama molingami na ngai, nazali kokomela yo mobeko ya sika te, kaka mobeko oyo tozwaki wuta na ebandeli: Tolinganaka biso na biso.
And now, I beseech thee, Kuria, (I write no new commandment to thee, but that which was with us from the beginning, ) that we should love one another.
6 Mpe tala makambo oyo bolingo esengaka: kobika kolanda mibeko ya Nzambe. Yango nde mobeko oyo tosengeli kotosa, ndenge boyokaki yango wuta na ebandeli, mpo ete bobika kati na bolingo.
And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that we should walk in it.
7 Bato ebele ya lokuta basili kopanzana na mokili, bazali kobungisa bato mingi nzela; bandimaka te ete Yesu-Klisto akomaki penza moto. Moto nyonso oyo alobaka ndenge wana azali moto ya lokuta mpe monguna ya Klisto.
Because many seducers have gone forth into the world, who confess not that Jesus the Messiah hath come in the flesh. This is a seducer and Antichrist.
8 Boye, bosala keba mpo ete bobungisa te mbuma ya mosala na biso, kasi mpo ete bozwa lifuti ya kokoka.
Take heed to yourselves, that ye lose not what ye have wrought; but that ye may be recompensed with a full reward.
9 Moto nyonso oyo azali kowumela te kati na mateya ya Klisto, kasi abimi libanda na yango, azali moko te na Nzambe; nzokande moto oyo azali kowumela kati na mateya yango azali moko na Tata mpe na Mwana.
Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Messiah, God is not in him. And he who abideth in his doctrine, he hath the Father and the Son.
10 Soki moto moko ayei epai na bino mpe amemeli bino mateya mosusu, boyamba ye te kati na bandako na bino, mpe bopesa ye ata mbote te,
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, entertain him not in your house, nor say to him, Joy to thee:
11 pamba te moto oyo apesi ye mbote asangani na misala na ye ya mabe.
for he that saith to him, Joy to thee, is a participator in his evil deeds.
12 Nazali lisusu na makambo ebele ya kokomela bino, kasi naboyi kosala yango na nzela ya lokasa mpe ya mayi ya ekomeli. Nazali na elikya ya koya kotala bino mpe ya kosolola malamu na bino, mpo ete esengo na biso ezala ya kokoka.
Having many things I could write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to converse mouth to mouth, that our joy may be complete.
13 Bana ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, moponami ya Nzambe, batindeli yo mbote.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Grace be with you. Amen.
