2 Yokaana 1
1 Nze omukadde mpandiikira omukyala omulonde awamu n’abaana be, be njagalira ddala mu mazima, si nze mbaagala nzekka, wabula n’abo bonna abategeera amazima.
The elder unto the excellent Lady, and her children, whom I love in truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
for the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and will be with us for ever: (aiōn g165)
3 Ekisa, n’okusaasira n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Yesu Kristo Omwana wa Kitaffe bijjanga kubeera naffe mu mazima ne mu kwagala.
grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Nnasanyuka nnyo, bwe nnasanga abamu ku baana bo nga batambulira mu mazima nga bwe twalagirwa Kitaffe.
I rejoiced greatly that I found among thy children such as walked in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Naye nnyabo kaakano nkusaba nga siri ng’akuwa ekiragiro ekiggya, naye nkujjukiza ekiragiro ekyo Katonda kye yatuwa okuva ku lubereberye nti, “Twagalanenga.”
And now I beseech thee, Lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another.
6 Era kuno kwe kwagalana nti tugonderenga ebiragiro bya Katonda. Kubanga okuva ku lubereberye twategeezebwa nga bwe tuteekwa okutambula.
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
7 Mwekuume, abalimba bangi mu nsi abatakkiriza nti Yesu yayambala omubiri. Buli muntu ayogera bw’atyo mulimba era mulabe wa Kristo.
For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Mwekuume, muleme okufiirwa kye twakolerera, wabula mukikuume kubanga mulifuna empeera yammwe yonna.
Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye may receive a full reward.
9 Buli asukka ku ebyo Kristo by’ayigiriza n’atabinywereramu, talina Katonda; naye oyo anywerera mu kuyigiriza okwo alina Kitaffe n’Omwana.
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son.
10 Omuntu yenna bw’ajja gye muli, n’atayigiriza bw’atyo, temumwanirizanga mu nnyumba yammwe, n’okulamusa temumulamusanga.
Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,
11 Kubanga buli amusembeza aba yeenyigidde mu bikolwa ebyo ebibi.
that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Mbadde na bingi eby’okubawandiikira, kyokka saagala byonna kubibawandiikira buwandiikizi, wabula nsuubira okubakyalira tulyoke twogeraganye nga tulabagana amaaso n’amaaso, essanyu lyaffe liryoke lituukirire.
Having many things to write unto you, I would not with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
13 Abaana ba mwannyoko omulonde bakulamusizza.
The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
