3 John 1
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Abwng lokv— Ngoogv jvjvrungbv paknam, ayanam Gaiusnyi.
2 Beloved, I pray for thee to prosper concerning all things, and to be healthy, just as thy soul prospers.
Ngoogv ayanam ajin, noogv Dow lo alvdunv vla ngo chinam aingbv—ogumvnwng ngv alvminggv yilakv okv noogv adwnayak vka alv yilakv vla ngo kumdunv.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly of brothers coming and testifying to the truth of thee, just as thou walk in truth.
Noogv jvjvlo ribvdoobvnam aingbv—vdwlo kristan meego aadula okv no jvjvlo vdwgo jwkjwkvrwk la ridu vla nga minam am ngo achialvbv mvngputo.
4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear my children walking in truth.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwv jvjvlo ridudodu kv vnam am ngo tvvpanam si oguguka mvngpu yanvgo kaaku madu.
5 Beloved, thou do a faithful thing, whatever thou work for the brothers and for strangers,
Ngoogv ayanam ajin, nonuno kvbi kristan ajin vdwgv lvgabv vdwlo bunu nyien bv rijeka kudungkua riji kolo nonu achialvbv jwkjwkvrwk bv ridu.
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.
Bunu gvrja lo nonugv paknam lvkwnglo japla ridu. Pwknvyarnvnyi mvnglwk koodubv bunugv mooying vngtung nga vngbv dubv bunua mvdurridur laka.
7 For they went forth on behalf of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Vkvlvgavbolo mvngjwngmanv vdwgvlo oguka ridurnam kamabv Kristo gv kudungkua lvgabv bunu mooying vnglintoku.
8 We therefore ought to welcome such men, so that we might become fellow workmen for the truth.
Vbvrikunamv, ngonu kristan vdwv, sikvnv nyi vdw sum ridur tvka vbvribolo ngonu bunua jvjv gv lvgabv kudungkua nga ridur minggv lare.
9 I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first of them, did not accept us.
Ngo gvrja lo siti takching achukgo lvkto; vbvritola Diotrepes, oogv rigvdubv mvngnv, vv ngo ogugo mimpvdw um tvvgap jima.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, vdwlo ngo aarekudw vkvgv ripvkunam ogumvnwng nga ngo aagv jireku: Busunam gaam si hv vdwgo ngonu lvkwnglo mimbvdw okv hv mvvla minku bvdw! vbvritola ninyi lvgabv vv mvngchik chima; ngonugv kristan ajin vdwv bunu aajvka umka laarwk simare, okv laarwk sinwngnv vdwaka bunua mintur yala ridu okv bunua gvrja lokv charlin yadubv gwngduku!
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.
Ngoogv ajin vdw, alvmanv nga kaagv la riyoka, vbvritola alvnvngv ogudw um kaagv la ritoka. Yvvdw alvnvbv ridunv vv Pwknvyarnv gvbv ridunv; Yvvdw alvmanv oguvdw um ridunv vv Pwknvyarnvnyi kaama dunv.
12 Demetrius has been testified by all, and by the truth itself. But we also testify, and ye know that our testimony is true.
Dementrius gv lvkwnglo nyi mvnwng ngv alvnvbv mindu; jvjvklv ngvka ninyia alvnvbv mindu. Okv ngonuka bvngtam minggv dunv, okv nonu chindu ngonu ogugo mindudw vv jvjvdu.
13 I had many things to write, but I did not want to write to thee by pen and ink.
Ngo gvlo nonua achialvgo minsv ngv doodu, vbvrijvka ngo koolum okv sai lokv lvknya jilama.
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.
Nonua ngo baapubv kaarwk sinvpv mvngtin sidu, okv vbvrikubolo ngonuv doorwk sitola atuanying ngv japrwk sipa reku. Sarsopoyo ngv nonu gvlo dooming gvyilaka. Ngoogv ajin vdwv kumrwksinam am jilwkdu. Nonugv ajin mvnwng ngv kumrwksidu.
