3 Yohana 1

1 Rji ni nikoh bi i hi ni Gayus wa mi sub kpokpome.

The eldere man to Gayus, most dere brother, whom Y loue in treuthe.

2 I suron mu, ni bre ni u, du lulu hi u me ni mi kpei wa u si ti'a wawu; ni si kpan, na Ruhu me a hei ni si.

Most dere brothir, of alle thingis Y make preyer, that thou entre, and fare welefuly, as thi soule doith welefuli.

3 Isuron mu a ti kikla raime wadi mri vayi bari ba ye tre didi ni tu ni yo suron ni tu me na wa u si hu kon jaji.

Y ioyede greetli, for britheren camen, and baren witnessing to thi treuthe, `as thou walkist in treuthe.

4 Ba kpei wa'a zan du suron mu ti kikla rai du me wo di mri mu ba si zran ni kon jaji.

Y haue not more grace of these thingis, than that Y here that my sones walke in treuthe.

5 Si suron vremu, u si ti du' a ni suron me riri, hi ni mri vayi, ni bi tsri.

Most dere brother, thou doist feithfuli, what euer thou worchist in britheren, and that in to pilgrymys,

6 Bi wa ba hla tre didi ni tu me ni bi koh Irji, a ni bi du zo ba, ni zo u si suron, ni kon wa a bi, ni bi hu Irji.

which yeldiden witnessing to thi charite, in the siyt of the chirche; which thou leddist forth, and doist wel worthili to God.

7 Ni de mu ba rju, ba na kpan kpei ni wo ndi ba na.

For thei wenten forth for his name, and token no thing of hethene men.

8 Na ki ki kpa iri ndi ba, ki hei kpa udu baba u jaji.

Therfor we owen to resseyue siche, that we be euen worcheris of treuthe.

9 Mi han vuvu hi ni tra Irji, ni ki Diyotariffis, wa a zan kohan wa ni kon ni mi ba, ana kpa ta na.

I hadde write perauenture to the chirche, but this Diotrepes, that loueth to bere primacie in hem, resseyueth not vs.

10 Na ki inde mi ye, mi nu mre ni tu du ma, ni wa a si ga de bu'a ni shishi de ba ni meme tre. Wa yi me a mia u na, na ki me a ni kama bubu kpa mri vayi, a zu bi wa ba su ti didi ma; a ni zu ba ni mi Irji.

For this thing, if Y schal come, Y schal moneste hise werkis, whiche he doith, chidinge ayens vs with yuel wordis. And as if these thingis suffisen not to hym, nether he resseyueth britheren, and forbedith hem that resseyuen, and puttith out of the chirche.

11 Isuron mu, na vu meme kpei na sei kpei didi ma, Idi wa a si ti kpei didi ma a hi u Irji, Inde 'a' a si ti kpei meme ma, a na toh Irji na.

Moost dere brothir, nyle thou sue yuel thing, but that that is good thing. He that doith wel, is of God; he that doith yuel, seeth not God.

12 Dimitiriyas, ndi ba tre didi ma har ni jaji ni tu ma wu me utuh jaji tre bu, a jaji.

Witnessing is yoldun to Demetrie of alle men, and of treuthe it silf; but also we beren witnessing, and thou knowist, that oure witnessing is trewe.

13 Mei hei ni kpie gbugbu u wa me han 'u' Na ki mina kpay'm di mi han ni u ni alkalami ba tawada na.

Y hadde many thingis to wryte to thee, but Y wolde not write to thee bi enke and penne.

14 Mi you suran di mi toh tu lalo mu na ki ki tre shi shi. Du si suron sun ni wu. Kpukpan bu ba si chi'u hla ni bru kpukpan bu, ni de ba wa wu.

For Y hope soone to se thee, and we schulen speke mouth to mouth. Pees be to thee. Frendis greten thee wel. Greete thou wel frendis bi name.
