3 Joni 1
1 Mupati kuli uyandika Gayiyasi, ooyo ngwenjanda chakasimpe.
Omukaruka, ku Gayo omwendwa, oyo enenda muchimari.
2 Oyandwa, Ndikukkombela ikuti zintu zyoonse zikwendele kabotu alubo upone kabotu, mbuli mbopona kabotu mumuuya wako.
Mwendwa enikusabhila ubhone amabhando misago jona na ubhe no bhuanga bhwa kisi, lwakutyo omwoyo gwao ogubhonekelwa.
3 Nkambo ndakakondwa ndakabotelwa loko inzubo nizyakasika akupa bukamboni bwakasimpe kaako, mbuli mboyenda mukasimpe.
Okubha nakondewe muno omwanya ogwo nabwiliwe na abhayili bhanu bhejile okusosha obhubhambasi bwechimali chao, lwa kutyo oulibhata muchimali.
4 Nsikwe kubotelwa kumbi kwinda oku pe, ikumvwa kuti bana bangu benda mukasimpe.
Nitali nobhukondelewe bhunene kukila bhunu, okungwa ati abhana bhani abhalibhata muchimali.
5 Oyandwa, uchita michito chalusyomo mpobelekela inzubo akubenzu,
Omwendwa ukola kwo mwoyo gwekisi okusakila abhaili na abhagenyi.
6 aabo bakazopa bukamboni bwaluyando lwako kunembo lyembungano. Uchita kabotu kubasindikila munyeendo zyabo chakubotezya Leza,
Bhanu bhasosishe obhubhambasi bwe elyenda lyao mumeso ga likanisa. Oukola ejakisi okubhasila mulugendo lwebwe kunjila jinu ejimukondela Nyamuanga.
7 nkambo kezina eelyo ndibayobwendela, nkabata tambwide chintu kuli bamasi.
Kwo kubha kwa sina, bhangendele, bhutagega chinu chonechone kusoka kubhanu bha Maanga.
8 Aboobo aswebo tulachitambula mbubo, ikuti tukabe basimulimo nyokwe mukasimpe.
Kulwejo ejendibwa okubhakuma abhanu nkabhanu abho, koleleki chibhe bhakosi bhe milimu muchimali.
9 Kuli nzindakalembela imbungano, pesi Diyotilefesi, oyo uyandisya kuba mutanzi akati kabo, tatutambuli pe swebo.
Nandikie likanisa lisango lilebhe, nawe Diotrofe unu kenda okubha wokwamba agati yebwe, atakuchikilisha eswe.
10 Eelyo, nindasika, nzomuyeezya milimo yakwe njali kuchita, yakututamikizya chakubeja amajwi mabi kulindiswe. Mukutakkutisika, takaki biyo kutambula ibana bakwabo, pesi ulakasya alubo kulaabo ibayanda kubatambula benzu mpawo akubatanda mumbungano.
Kulwejo alibha naja, nilichuka ebhikolwa byae bhinu kakola, lwa kutyo kaika emisango emibhibhi ejitasyanya neswe. Achali kwikilishanya nebhikolwa bhinu, omwenene atakubhalamila abhaili, nolwo kabhaganya abhandi bhanu abhenda okubhakuma abho abhaili nokubhabhilimya bhasoke mwikanisa.
11 Noyandwa, utatobeli kuchita zibi pesi kuleezyo zibotu. Ooyo uchita zibotu nguwa Leza; simuchita zibi tanakubona Leza,
Omwendwa usige okulubha echibhibhi atali ulubhe ejakisi. Unu kakola agakisi ni wa Nyamuanga na unu kakola amabhibhi achali kumulola Nyamuanga.
12 Demetiliyasi wakatambula bukamboni bubotu kuli boonse amukasimpe. Alubo andiswe tuli bakamboni, alubo ayebo ulizi kuti bukamboni bwesu mbwakasimpe.
Demetrio kabhambalilwa na bhone ne chimali echene eswe bhona echimwimako no omenya ati obhubhambasi bweswe ni bwe chimali.
13 Ndali ezyiingi zyakukulembela pesi nsikkonzyi kukulembela pe zyoonse empesele amulende.
Ninago amagambo mafu agokukwandikila, atari ntakwenda okukwandikila kwa ikalamu no bwino.
14 Pesi ndilangila kuzokubona lino lino, elyo tuzowambuula katulangene. Lumuno alube ayebo. Benzuma balikumujuzya. Ujuzye ibeenzuma oko muzina.
Atali enenda okuja okukulola kusiku ja oli anu, chililoma chili amwi. Omulembe gubhe amwi nawe, abhasani abhakukesha. Bhakeshe abhasani bhuli munu kwi lisina lyae.
