3 John 1
1 The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Ugogolo hwa Gayo uyegene, ulugano lwa lyoli.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Wamwetu, elabha huje utabhale humambo gonti neshi umwoyo gwaho shagutabhala.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
Nasungilwe tee panahumvwizye huje uhwendelela shinza bhambulile bhaala bhabhafumule huliwe.
4 Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
Nalumo uluseshelo lwalushilile olu ahumvwe aje abhaana bhane bhahwendelela mulweteho.
5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
Wamwetu ubhomba shinza nubhaavwa aholo na jenyu ajenyi,
6 who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
ebho bhafumizye uluguno lwaho hwi kanisa. Aje ubhomba shinza abhashulezye abhasafirizye shila shasungwa Ungulubhi.
7 because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
Hunongwa yitawa, bhahendeleye nkahweje nkahamo hwa pagani(hwa Mataifa).
8 We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
Tihwanziwa huje tibhakaribisyaje abhantu neshi ebha nkatibhe bhabhomba mbombo nabho.
9 I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
Nalisimbiye ikusanyiko(ubhungano) gwenyu ijambo limo lelo uDiotrefe, yasungwa abhe wahwandesiga hwitihananate.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth [them] out of the church.
Nkanayenza naibhabhuula zyonti zyabhomba, sigahobhoha nembombo zyetu nantele abhakhana bhaala bhabhahwanza abhakaribisye aholo bhabhabhenga
11 Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Awe usafwatizye embibhi ufwatizyaje enyinza, uyabhomba enyinza uyo muntu wa Ngulubhi; yabhomba embibhi sigaalolile Ungulubhi.
12 Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true.
U Demetrio bhalolile bhinji, natebhayo tilolile ezi zyatizilolile zyelyoli.
13 I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen:
Endinazyo nyinji ezyasimbe lelo siga ehwanza husimbile ne kalamu nuwino.
14 but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Ehwanza aje enenze tilolane nkatiyanje nkatalolana humaso. Ulutengano lubhe nawe. Akundanu bhahulamuha. Shila muntu hwitawa lyakwe.
