2 KaYohane 1 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

1 ¹Umdala, ndibhalela umfazi onyuliweyo nabantwana bakhe, endibathandayo enyanisweni—kungendim ndedwa, kodwa nabo bonke abayaziyo inyaniso, ^a a v1 “Umfazi onyuliweyo nabantwana bakhe” inokuba ibhekisele kwibandla lasekuhlaleni namalungu alo. ²ngenxa yenyaniso ehleli kuthi, yaye iya kuba nathi ngonaphakade. ³Ubabalo, nenceba, noxolo luya kuba nathi, luvela kuBawo wethu nakuYesu Krestu, uNyana kaBawo wethu, enyanisweni nasethandweni.

⁴Ndaba novuyo olukhulu ukufumana inxenye yabantwana bakho behamba enyanisweni, njengoko uBawo wethu wasiwiselayo umthetho. ⁵Ngoku ndiyakucela, mfazi othandekayo: ungesimthetho mtsha, kodwa ngulo besinawo kwasekuqaleni—thandanani. ⁶Olu ke luthando: ukuba sihambe ngemithetho yakhe. Nguwo lo umthetho, njengoko nawuvayo kwasekuqaleni: ukuba nihambe eluthandweni.

⁷Kuba baninzi abalahlekisi abaphume bangena ehlabathini, abamkhanyelayo uYesu Krestu eze esenyameni. Lo ngumlahlekisi nomchasi-Krestu. ⁸Zigcineni, ukuze ningalahlekelwa koko sakusebenzelayo, kodwa namkele umvuzo ozeleyo. ⁹Nabani na ogqithayo, engahleli emfundisweni kaKrestu, akanaye uBawo wethu; ke lowo uhleli emfundisweni unaye uBawo wethu noNyana. ^b b v9 Ukumkhanyela uNyana kukumlahla uBawo. Incwadi kaYohane igxininisa ukuba abanako ukwahlulwa—ukuhlala emfundisweni kaYesu kukuba nabo bobabini, uBawo wethu noNyana wakhe. ¹⁰Ukuba kukho umntu oza kuni engenayo le mfundiso, ningamamkeli endlwini yenu, ningambulisi, ¹¹kuba lowo umbulisayo unxulumene nezenzo zakhe ezingendawo.

¹²Ndinokuninzi endinokunibhalela kona, kodwa andithandi ukusebenzisa iphepha neyingki. Ndithemba ukuza kuni, ndithethe nani ubuso ngobuso, ukuze uvuyo lwethu luzalisekile. ¹³Abantwana bodade wenu onyuliweyo bayanibulisa.
