2 Johani 1
1 Mukuru, kumudzimai akasanangurwa navana vake, vandinoda muchokwadi, uye kwete ini ndoga, asiwo navose vanoziva chokwadi,
The elder to the chosen lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth,
because of the truth that is remaining in us, and will be with us throughout the age, (aiōn g165)
3 Nyasha, ngoni norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba nokuna Jesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waBaba, zvichava nesu muchokwadi nomurudo.
there will be with you grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Zvakandifadza zvikuru kuwana vamwe vana venyu vachifamba muchokwadi, sezvatakarayirwa naBaba.
I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;
5 Uye zvino, mai, handisi kukunyorerai murayiro mutsva asi iwo watakanzwa kubva pakutanga. Ndinokumbira kuti tidanane.
and now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,
6 Uye urwu ndirwo rudo: kuti tifambe mukuteerera mirayiro yake. Sezvamakanzwa kubva pakutanga, murayiro wake ndewokuti mufambe murudo.
and this is love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it,
7 Vanyengeri vazhinji, vasingapupuri kuti Jesu Kristu akauya munyama, vakapinda munyika. Munhu akadaro ndiye munyengeri naandikristu.
because many deceivers entered into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.
8 Muchenjere kuti murege kurasikirwa nezvamakashandira, asi kuti mugopiwa mubayiro wakakwana.
See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
9 Mumwe nomumwe anomhanya mberi asingarambiri mudzidziso yaKristu haana Mwari; ani naani anorambira mukudzidzisa kwaKristu ana Baba noMwanakomana.
everyone who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, does not have God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son;
10 Kana munhu akauya kwamuri uye asingauyi nedzidziso iyi, musamupinza mumba menyu kana kumugamuchira.
if anyone comes to you, and does not bear this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not say to him, “Greetings!”
11 Ani naani anomugamuchira anogovana naye mubasa rake rakaipa.
For he who is saying to him, “Greetings,” has fellowship with his evil works.
12 Ndine zvizhinji zvokukunyorerai, asi handidi kushandisa pepa neingi. Asi, ndine tariro yokukushanyirai ndigotaura nemi chiso nechiso, kuti mufaro wedu uzadziswe.
Having many things to write to you, I did not intend [it] with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
13 Vana vomununʼuna wenyu akasanangurwa vanokukwazisai.
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
