2 Jon 1
1 Abwng Jon lokv— Ayanam dvnvbuyu okv bunugv umvuu vdwa, okv ngoogv jvjvrungbv paknam. Okv ngo akin twkma, vbvritola yvvdw jvjvnga chinv vdwv mvnwng ngv nonua pakdu,
To an eminent Christian Lady, and to her Children, from the Officer of the Church. I sincerely love you all, and not I only, but also all those who have learned to know the Truth.
We love you for the sake of that Truth which is always in our hearts; yes, and it will be ours for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 Pwknvyarnv Abu, okv Abu gv kuunyilo Jisu Kristo, ngonua anyuaya, aya okv sarsopoyo nga jinamv doyi laka; okv jvjv okv paknamv bunu ngonu gvbv doolwk yilaka.
Blessing, mercy, and peace will be ours — the gift of God, the Father, and of Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son — in a life of truth and love.
4 Abu gv ngonua gamkinam aingbv, nonugv umvuu meegonv jvjvlo ridubv tvvpa nam lvgabv vdwgo ngo himpu siyato.
It was a great joy to me to find the lives of some of your children guided by the Truth, in obedience to the command that we received from the Father.
5 Okv vbvrikunamv, ayasinam dvnvbvyu: kaju ngonu mvnwng ngv ajin anyingnga pakmisila juka. Ngoogv nonua lvkdung dunam si anwnv gamki yagoma; si ngonu gvlo klu lokv gamki la doobwng kunam go.
And now, I pray you, Lady — not as though I were writing a new command for you; no, it is the command which we had from the first — Let us love one another.
6 Ngoogv pakmi sidubv mindunv si ngonu Pwknvyarnv gv gamki kolo tvvla doorung tvlaka vnamgo. Klu lokv, nonu mvnwng gv tvvnam gamki si, nonu mvnwng ngv pakmi sinam lo dooto laka vnamgo.
And this is love — to live in obedience to the Father’s commands. This is the Command as you learned from the first, to live in a spirit of love.
7 Nyiamooku so nyi meego mvvnv ngv vnglin doku, oogv nyi vdwv Jisu Kristonyi nyiamooku so nyi nyidung bv aapvnv vla mimanv, oogv nyi mvvnv ngv okv Kristo gv Nyimak bv rinv ngv.
I say this because many impostors have left us to go into the world — men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ come in our human nature. It is that which marks a man as an impostor and an anti-Christ.
8 Vbvrikunamv ngonu ogunv kudungkua ripvnam ngv nyema nam lvgabv, nonu awv hinggu sula dooto laka, vbvribolo nonugv Amen am paareku.
Take care that you do not lose the fruit of all our work; rather, reap the benefit of it in full.
9 Yvvdw Jisu Kristo gv tamsar kolo dooma dunv, vbvritola, ribovngbo yadunv vv Pwknvyarnv gvlo paaya mare. Yvvdw so tamsar kolo doodudw vv Abu nyila okv Kuunyilo anyibabwng nga paare.
Every one who goes beyond the limits of the Teaching of the Christ has failed to find God; the man who keeps to that Teaching — he has found both the Father and the Son.
10 Vbvrinamv, yvvdw nonu gvlo aadula soogv tamsarnam sum aagv la aama dubolo, um nonugv naam lo aadu bv ninyia kumrwklvtak siyoka; “Nonu gvlo sarsopoyo namv doyilakv vla vbvka miyoka.”
If any one comes to you and does not bring this Teaching, do not receive him into your house or welcome him;
11 Holvgabv yvvdw bunua sarsopoyo nga nonu lvkobv doyilakv vla mindunv, kokwnglo bunugv alvmanv gv rinam lo ajin gobv ridunv.
for the man who welcomes him is sharing with him in his wicked work.
12 Ngo nonua minsv meego doodunv, vbvrijvka pvta soka okv sai lokv lvkmare; vbvmayabv, ngo awv kaalwkla okv gaam yangv mirwksiya nvpv mvngla mvngtindu, vbvribolo, ngonugv mvngpuv pumichiki yariku.
Though I have a great deal to say to you, I would rather not trust it to paper and ink, but I am hoping to come and see you, and to speak with you face to face, so that your joy may be complete.
13 Nonugv ayanam anyibormv vdwgv umvuu vdwv bunugv kumrwksinam go jilwk dunv.
The children of your eminent sister send you their greetings.
