3 John 1
1 The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:
Omukaruka, ku Gayo omwendwa, oyo enenda muchimari.
2 Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
Mwendwa enikusabhila ubhone amabhando misago jona na ubhe no bhuanga bhwa kisi, lwakutyo omwoyo gwao ogubhonekelwa.
3 For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
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 to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Nitali nobhukondelewe bhunene kukila bhunu, okungwa ati abhana bhani abhalibhata muchimali.
5 Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
Omwendwa ukola kwo mwoyo gwekisi okusakila abhaili na abhagenyi.
6 They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
Bhanu bhasosishe obhubhambasi bwe elyenda lyao mumeso ga likanisa. Oukola ejakisi okubhasila mulugendo lwebwe kunjila jinu ejimukondela Nyamuanga.
7 For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
Kwo kubha kwa sina, bhangendele, bhutagega chinu chonechone kusoka kubhanu bha Maanga.
8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Kulwejo ejendibwa okubhakuma abhanu nkabhanu abho, koleleki chibhe bhakosi bhe milimu muchimali.
9 I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
Nandikie likanisa lisango lilebhe, nawe Diotrofe unu kenda okubha wokwamba agati yebwe, atakuchikilisha eswe.
10 So if I come, I will call attention to his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.
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 what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil 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 received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you 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 have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.
Ninago amagambo mafu agokukwandikila, atari ntakwenda okukwandikila kwa ikalamu no bwino.
14 Instead, I hope to see you soon and speak with you face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send you greetings. Greet each of our friends there 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.
