3 John 1
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Unanu udenge Asere Gayus desa ma ram iriba.
2 Beloved, I desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.
Nihenu inzin biringara barki ure aje ashi me nan nihuma nishi me kasi uciki ubibe biriri bishi me.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when [the] brethren came and bore testimony to thy [holding fast the] truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
Ma wuza iriba irum unu ira aye anyimo anihenu wa e barki kadure kashi me, barki i haka anyimo kadure.
4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear of my children walking in the truth.
In zom iri mum sa iteki igeme ba, ukunna agi ahana awe wa haka meru.
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,
Uhenu um, vat imum be sa uwuza nihenu, katuma ku inko iriba ini u zini umuta agenu.
6 (who have witnessed of thy love before [the] assembly, ) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;
We wani wa bezi uzina uwe me ahira anu tarsa Asere, idi wu uri u tibi we in ire imum, ani me udi bezi utarsa Asere.
7 for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations.
Barki niza nigino nini wa suri ni, ma kabsa imum ba ahira anu tarsa Asere.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
Barki ani me idi wu uri ti kabsi usandu anu agino me, ti canti we merum, barki ti cukuno aroni akatuma nan we anyimo akadure.
9 I wrote something to the assembly; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not.
Ma nyertike uhana anyimo nigura me, ma ira Diyotarifis, desa ma nyra ma cukuno bigoro a nyimo awe me, ma game itarsa utize tiru.
10 For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, babbling against us with wicked words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brethren; and those who would he prevents, and casts [them] out of the assembly.
Barki ani me, ingi ma aye, indi buki me imum me sa ma wuza, ma wuza bi bukum biru barki ma cari duru ni, ani me ya bari me ba, ma game u wuna uni henu mahabi, ma karti, i an desa wa nyara uwuza mahabi, ma suzo we anyimo udenge wa Asere.
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He that does good is of God. He that does evil has not seen God.
Nihenu, kati i tarsi imum iburi ba tarsa nin igebe sa izi iriri, desa ma wuza imum iriri ma rusa Asere, desa ma wuza imum iburi ma taame Asere ba.
12 Demetrius has witness borne to him by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness is true.
Damitiya ma rusa kode nyani ahira akonde vi, kadure in nice ni kani ka tarsa me, haru ma ti rusan in ani me, urusa uru me kadure kani.
13 I had many things to write to thee, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee;
Ma zin in timumum gbardang tige be sa ma nyari in nyertike, mi be daki ma nyara in nyertike ba in nibiro ni mei, barki ma ira ida wuna me uri ani me ba.
14 but I hope soon to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace [be] to thee. The friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name.
In zinu ubasa me tidi iri acece anyimo ati ye ti geme sarki ucara uganiya, abini me tidi buu tize aje unu hira aje. Cukuno ni ini riba iruum, aroni wa iso kode vi in niza nume.
