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 her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: (aiōn g165)
3 Nyasha, ngoni norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba nokuna Jesu Kristu, Mwanakomana waBaba, zvichava nesu muchokwadi nomurudo.
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
4 Zvakandifadza zvikuru kuwana vamwe vana venyu vachifamba muchokwadi, sezvatakarayirwa naBaba.
I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5 Uye zvino, mai, handisi kukunyorerai murayiro mutsva asi iwo watakanzwa kubva pakutanga. Ndinokumbira kuti tidanane.
And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we 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 walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
7 Vanyengeri vazhinji, vasingapupuri kuti Jesu Kristu akauya munyama, vakapinda munyika. Munhu akadaro ndiye munyengeri naandikristu.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Muchenjere kuti murege kurasikirwa nezvamakashandira, asi kuti mugopiwa mubayiro wakakwana.
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9 Mumwe nomumwe anomhanya mberi asingarambiri mudzidziso yaKristu haana Mwari; ani naani anorambira mukudzidzisa kwaKristu ana Baba noMwanakomana.
Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching 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 but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11 Ani naani anomugamuchira anogovana naye mubasa rake rakaipa.
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12 Ndine zvizhinji zvokukunyorerai, asi handidi kushandisa pepa neingi. Asi, ndine tariro yokukushanyirai ndigotaura nemi chiso nechiso, kuti mufaro wedu uzadziswe.
I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 Vana vomununʼuna wenyu akasanangurwa vanokukwazisai.
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
