3 John 1
1 The Elder vnto the beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth.
Munyampala, u-Gayo Mulowa, ninumuloilwe mutai.
2 Beloued, I wish chiefly that thou prosperedst and faredst well as thy soule prospereth.
Mulowa, kuulompeela ulije ihi ni maza nukutula nu-upanga nu-uza, anga iikolo ako nilijaa.
3 For I reioyced greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in the trueth.
Ku-itigwa ainumbiiye itai matungo naimbiiwe niiane naiazile pumia wihengi mutai ako, anga uu nukugenda mutai.
4 I haue no greater ioy then these, that is, to heare that my sonnes walke in veritie.
Nimugila ilumbi nikulu kukila ili, kija iianaane akugenda mutai.
5 Beloued, thou doest faithfully, whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
Mulunaane ukoli mu-uhuili kuapa iiane niaziila,
6 Which bare witnesse of thy loue before the Churches. Whom if thou bringest on their iourney as it beseemeth according to God, thou shalt doe well,
niiapumilye uwihengi wa ulowaako ntongeela itekeelo, ukunonia iza kuatindikiilya mumihizo-ao kunsokonanso imuloile Itunda.
7 Because that for his Names sake they went forth, and tooke nothing of the Gentiles.
Ku-itegwa, kunsoko alina, ikalongola sha-ikahola kintu kihi kupuma kuanya-kilungu.
8 We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be helpers to the trueth.
Ku-itegwa, kuasingiilya iantu anga awa, sunga kutule keituma milimo nienso kunsoko atai.
9 I wrote vnto the Church: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not.
Ai niliandikie iumbi inkani, kunsoko u-Diotrofe uloilwe kutula wang'wandyo muauya, kunu wikutile palung'wi nusese.
10 Wherefore if I come, I will call to your remembrance his deedes which he doeth, pratling against vs with malicious wordes, and not therewith content, neither he himselfe receiueth the brethren, but forbiddeth them that woulde, and thrusteth them out of the Church.
Ku-itegwa anganize niisiganiilye intendo yakwe nukuitenda, nukuiligitya inkani nimbe singanguse, sha wigombilye ninkani izi, ung'wenso sha wiasingiilya iauya, sunga ukuagilya niangiiza niakete insula kusingiilya i auyaao nukuazunsa ahege piumbe.
11 Beloued, follow not that which is euill, but that which is good: he that doeth well, is of God: but he that doeth euill, hath not seene God.
Mulowa, leka kimpyania ni kibii, ingigwa impanie nikiza, uyu nuitumaa nimaza wang'wi- Itunda.
12 Demetrius hath good report of al men, and of the trueth it selfe: yea, and wee our selues beare recorde, and ye know that our record is true.
Demotrio, wihengilwe ni-ihi nitai inyenso, nu-sese palung'wi ki-ihengi, uine uwihengi witu watai.
13 I haue many things to write: but I will not with yncke and pen write vnto thee:
Nkite makani idu nakuuandikila, kuitegwa, siindoilwe kuuandikila kunzila akalamu nu wino.
14 For I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Greete the friends by name.
Nsigile kuuona matungo makupi kuligitye. Upolo utule palung'wi nuewe. Ahumbaiako akulamukilye, alamushe iahumbaeitu kila muntu ung'wiao kulina lakwe.
