3 John 1
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Omukaruka, ku Gayo omwendwa, oyo enenda muchimari.
2 Beloved, I pray for thee to prosper concerning all things, and to be healthy, just as thy soul prospers.
Mwendwa enikusabhila ubhone amabhando misago jona na ubhe no bhuanga bhwa kisi, lwakutyo omwoyo gwao ogubhonekelwa.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly of brothers coming and testifying to the truth of thee, just as thou walk in truth.
Okubha nakondewe muno omwanya ogwo nabwiliwe na abhayili bhanu bhejile okusosha obhubhambasi bwechimali chao, lwa kutyo oulibhata muchimali.
4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear my children walking in truth.
Nitali nobhukondelewe bhunene kukila bhunu, okungwa ati abhana bhani abhalibhata muchimali.
5 Beloved, thou do a faithful thing, whatever thou work for the brothers and for strangers,
Omwendwa ukola kwo mwoyo gwekisi okusakila abhaili na abhagenyi.
6 who testified about thy love in sight of the congregation, whom thou will do well having helped send on their way worthily of God.
Bhanu bhasosishe obhubhambasi bwe elyenda lyao mumeso ga likanisa. Oukola ejakisi okubhasila mulugendo lwebwe kunjila jinu ejimukondela Nyamuanga.
7 For they went forth on behalf of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Kwo kubha kwa sina, bhangendele, bhutagega chinu chonechone kusoka kubhanu bha Maanga.
8 We therefore ought to welcome such men, so that we might become fellow workmen for the truth.
Kulwejo ejendibwa okubhakuma abhanu nkabhanu abho, koleleki chibhe bhakosi bhe milimu muchimali.
9 I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first of them, did not accept us.
Nandikie likanisa lisango lilebhe, nawe Diotrofe unu kenda okubha wokwamba agati yebwe, atakuchikilisha eswe.
10 Because of this, if I come, I will remember his works that he does, prating against us with evil words. And not being satisfied in these, he himself does not even accept the brothers, and he forbids those who would, and expels them out of the congregation.
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 Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. The man doing right is of God. The man doing wrong has not seen God.
Omwendwa usige okulubha echibhibhi atali ulubhe ejakisi. Unu kakola agakisi ni wa Nyamuanga na unu kakola amabhibhi achali kumulola Nyamuanga.
12 Demetrius has been testified by all, and by the truth itself. But we also testify, and ye know that our testimony is true.
Demetrio kabhambalilwa na bhone ne chimali echene eswe bhona echimwimako no omenya ati obhubhambasi bweswe ni bwe chimali.
13 I had many things to write, but I did not want to write to thee by pen and ink.
Ninago amagambo mafu agokukwandikila, atari ntakwenda okukwandikila kwa ikalamu no bwino.
14 But I hope to see thee straightaway, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Atali enenda okuja okukulola kusiku ja oli anu, chililoma chili amwi. Omulembe gubhe amwi nawe, abhasani abhakukesha. Bhakeshe abhasani bhuli munu kwi lisina lyae.
