2 Yowana 1
1 Jene bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne nkulungwa jwa likanisha. Ngunakunnjandishila mmanganya bhandunji bha likanisha, bhungumpinganga mpaka muntima. Nngabha nne jikape ngumpinganga, ikabheje nneila peila na bhowe bhakujimanyanga kweli, bhanakumpinganga.
The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,
because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity. (aiōn g165)
3 Atati a Nnungu pamo na a Yeshu Kilishitu bhana bhabho, bhanakutupa nema na shiya na ulele, bhene bhatama nkweli na pingana bhala.
May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
4 Njiangalala kwa kaje kubhona kuti bhananji munkumbi gwa ashibhana bhenu, bhanatamangananga nkweli malinga Atati shibhashite kutuamulisha.
I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.
5 Na nnaino a mama ngunakunshondelesheya, nngabha kuti ngunakunnjandishila amuli ja ambi, ikabheje ni amuli jituposhele kuumila ku ndandubho, tupingane.
And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
6 Na kupingana ni kutama nkukagulila amuli ya a Nnungu. Jeneji ni amuli jinnjipilikenenje kuumila ku ndandubho, ntamangane nkupingana.
And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.
7 Bhaunaminji bhabhagwinji bhakaakundanga kuti a Yeshu Kilishitu bhaaishe bhali na shiilu shabho, bhakoposhelenje pa shilambolyo. Mundu jwa nneyo analambila na akakwaakunda a Kilishitu.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Mwiiteiganje nnaobhianga shene shintendelenje maengo shila, ikabhe mpatanje upo itimilile.
Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.
9 Mundu jojowe akaatama mmajiganyo ga a Kilishitu, jwenejo jwangali a Nnungu. Na jojowe akalonjeya mmajiganyo ga a Kilishitu na kugaleka, jwenejo jwangali a Nnungu. Jojowe atama mmajiganyo, akwete Atati na Mwana nneila peila.
Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
10 Nnamposhelanje mundu jojowe akunjiilanga gwangali kumpeleshelanga gene majiganyo gano, numbe nnaposhelanje mmajumba genunji.
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.
11 Jojowe akumposhela mundu jwa nneyo, na jwalakwe anakwiilunda mwiitendi yangali ya mmbone.
For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
12 Ngwete indu yaigwinji, ikabhe ngaapinga kunnjandishilanga kwa kalatashi na wino, ikabheje kuengwa kwangu ninng'owelanje kutukungulushe pamo na mmanganya tulibhonegana, nkupinga kuangalala kwetu kutimilile.
I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Bhana bha alumbu bhenu bhaagwilwe na a Nnungu, bhanakunnamushilanga.
The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
