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 chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: (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.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus (the) Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Njiangalala kwa kaje kubhona kuti bhananji munkumbi gwa ashibhana bhenu, bhanatamangananga nkweli malinga Atati shibhashite kutuamulisha.
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by 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 ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we 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.
This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
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 (the) Messiah came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antimessiah.
8 Mwiiteiganje nnaobhianga shene shintendelenje maengo shila, ikabhe mpatanje upo itimilile.
Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you 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.
Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Messiah, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same 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 teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him,
11 Jojowe akumposhela mundu jwa nneyo, na jwalakwe anakwiilunda mwiitendi yangali ya mmbone.
for he who welcomes him participates in 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.
Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13 Bhana bha alumbu bhenu bhaagwilwe na a Nnungu, bhanakunnamushilanga.
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
