2 Yohani 1

1 Neni mzewi mlongoziya, nukulembera gwenga mawu yagusyagulitwi na Mlungu, pamuhera na wana waku yanuwafira muwunakaka. Neni ndiri gweka yangu hera yanuwafira, kumbiti viraa vilii woseri walii yawaumana unakaka ulii, wawafira mwenga,

The Elder to the Elect Lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have come to know the truth.

2 toziya ya unakaka yawulikala mngati mwetu na hawuwendereyi kulikala pamuhera na twenga mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)

I love you for the sake of the truth which is abiding in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)

3 Manemu na lusungu na ponga vyavilawiti kwa Mlungu Tati na kwa Yesu Kristu, Mwana gwa Tati, haviweri pamuhera na twenga munakaka na ufiru.

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.

4 Nemeleriti nentu panuwawoniti wamu wa wana waku wendereya kulikala munakaka, gambira Tati ntambu yakatulagaliriti.

I am greatly rejoiced to find some of your children leading their lives in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

5 Vinu mawu yagusyagulitwi na Mlungu, neni nukuluwa, nukulembera ndiri lilagaliru lya syayi, kumbiti lilagaliru liraa lilii lyatuweriti nalu kwanjira kwanja. Tulifiri twaweni kwa twaweni.

And now I am entreating you, Lady, not as though I were writing some new commandment to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, let us love one another.

6 Ufiru ndo awu, kulikala kwa kugajimira malagaliru ga Mlungu. Lilagaliru lyampikaniriti kwanjira kwanja ndo ali, mfiruwa kulikala kwa kuwulanguziya ufiru.

And this is love, that we should lead our lives according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should pass your life in love.

7 Toziya wapayira wavuwa walawira mupasipanu, wantu yawajimira ndiri kuwera Yesu Kristu kiziti na kuwera muntu. Muntu gwa ntambu ayi kawera mpayira na mngondu gwa Kristu.

I say this because many deceivers are gone forth into the world, those who deny the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

8 Su muliloli weri maweni, su namushiyagamiziya shilii shamtenditi, kumbiti mpati kufupwa lifupu teratera.

Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.

9 Muntu yoseri yakashapira na kulikala ndiri mumafundu kuusu Kristu, kumbiti kankuvyongera vitwatira vyamonga mumafundu, muntu ayu kahera Mlungu. Muntu yoseri yakalikala mumafundu kuusu Kristu, yomberi kawera na Tati na Mwana.

Whoever is going ahead, and is not abiding in the teachings of Christ, does not possess God; but he who is abiding in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son.

10 Su muntu yoseri pakiza kwa mwenga pota kuwajegera mafundu kuusu Kristu, namumshemera ukaya kwenu ama kumulamsiya.

If any one come to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, nor give him any greeting.

11 Muntu yoseri yakamulamsiya muntu ayu, kankutenda pamuhera muvitwatira vyakuwi vya ukondola.

For the man who greets him shares in his wicked work.

12 Tembera nanaga gavuwa ga kuwalembera, kumbiti nfira ndiri kuwalembera. Su nankulolera kwiza namweni kuyowera na mwenga, su nemeleru ya mwenga iweri teratera.

I have many things to write to you, but I would not write them with paper and ink. I hope to come to you and to talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

13 Wana wa dada gwaku yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu, wankukulamusiya.

The children of your elect sister send you greeting.
