3 John 1
1 The Elder vnto the beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth.
Mukulwana ku yosakwa Gayusi, uzo ye ni saka mwiniti.
2 Beloued, I wish chiefly that thou prosperedst and faredst well as thy soule prospereth.
Yosakwa, Ni rapela kuti u zwire havusu muzintu zonse mi uve ni bwiketo, sina luhuho lwako halushiyeme.
3 For I reioyced greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in the trueth.
Chobulyo ni vatavi hahulu mizwale ha vabakezi kuku niha vupaki bweiniti yako, sina hauyenda mwiniti.
4 I haue no greater ioy then these, that is, to heare that my sonnes walke in veritie.
Kanina intabo inkando kuhita iyi, kuzuwa kuti vana vangu bayenda mwiniti.
5 Beloued, thou doest faithfully, whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
Yosakwa, upange cha vusepahali inako yonse yo tendela mizwale ni vantu vasezibenkani,
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,
avo ba vazalwa ne vapaka ilato lyako havusu bwenkeleke. U chita hande ku vatumina mulwendo lwabo munzila zi swanela Ireeza,
7 Because that for his Names sake they went forth, and tooke nothing of the Gentiles.
chakuti i vali chevaka lye zina ha va bayendi kungi, ne kusena che va vahindi ku bechisi.
8 We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be helpers to the trueth.
Iswe cwale nihakuva vulyo tuswanela kuamuhela zintu ziswana nezi. iri chakuti tu ve vaveleki ve chilile initi.
9 I wrote vnto the Church: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not.
Ni va ñoleli chimwi kwi inkeleke, kono Diotrefi, usaka kuva kuvusu mukati kavo, ka tu tambulangi.
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.
Nihakwinabulyo, haiva ni nikeza, kanihupule inkezo zakwe zava chita, mwa wambilanga zintu zivi zilwisa iswe cha manzwi e na lunya. Isinyi cha kutaviswa chekezo izo, iye mwine ka atambuli mizwale. U kanisa abo va ba kakulakaza kuchita bulyo ni kuvatanda ku vazwisa mwinkeleke.
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.
Yosakwa, kanji u likanyisi kuchita bubi kono zilutu. I ye mwine u chita zilutu nji wa Ireeza; I ye mwine u chita bubi keni kuvona Ireeza.
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.
Demetriusi a vapepwa na pakwa kuvantu vonse ni kwiniti iyo yine. Naswe bulyo tupaka, mi mwizi kuti vupaki bwetu bweniti.
13 I haue many things to write: but I will not with yncke and pen write vnto thee:
Nivena zintu zingi zi ni wola kukuñolela, kono ka ni taveli kuziñola cha siñoliso ni inke.
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.
Ni libelele ku kuvona lyahanu, mi katuwambe menso cha menso. Mi inkozo ive nawe. Valikani va kurumelisa. U rumelise valikani che zina.
