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 desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even 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 when [the] brethren came and bore testimony to thy [holding fast the] truth, even as thou walkest 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 of my children walking in the truth.
Nitali nobhukondelewe bhunene kukila bhunu, okungwa ati abhana bhani abhalibhata muchimali.
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,
Omwendwa ukola kwo mwoyo gwekisi okusakila abhaili na abhagenyi.
6 (who have witnessed of thy love before [the] assembly, ) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;
Bhanu bhasosishe obhubhambasi bwe elyenda lyao mumeso ga likanisa. Oukola ejakisi okubhasila mulugendo lwebwe kunjila jinu ejimukondela Nyamuanga.
7 for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations.
Kwo kubha kwa sina, bhangendele, bhutagega chinu chonechone kusoka kubhanu bha Maanga.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
Kulwejo ejendibwa okubhakuma abhanu nkabhanu abho, koleleki chibhe bhakosi bhe milimu muchimali.
9 I wrote something to the assembly; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not.
Nandikie likanisa lisango lilebhe, nawe Diotrofe unu kenda okubha wokwamba agati yebwe, atakuchikilisha eswe.
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.
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. He that does good is of God. He that 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 witness borne to him by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness 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 to thee, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee;
Ninago amagambo mafu agokukwandikila, atari ntakwenda okukwandikila kwa ikalamu no bwino.
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.
Atali enenda okuja okukulola kusiku ja oli anu, chililoma chili amwi. Omulembe gubhe amwi nawe, abhasani abhakukesha. Bhakeshe abhasani bhuli munu kwi lisina lyae.
