3 John 1
1 The Elder vnto the beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth.
Ugogolo hwa Gayo uyegene, ulugano lwa lyoli.
2 Beloued, I wish chiefly that thou prosperedst and faredst well as thy soule prospereth.
Wamwetu, elabha huje utabhale humambo gonti neshi umwoyo gwaho shagutabhala.
3 For I reioyced greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in the trueth.
Nasungilwe tee panahumvwizye huje uhwendelela shinza bhambulile bhaala bhabhafumule huliwe.
4 I haue no greater ioy then these, that is, to heare that my sonnes walke in veritie.
Nalumo uluseshelo lwalushilile olu ahumvwe aje abhaana bhane bhahwendelela mulweteho.
5 Beloued, thou doest faithfully, whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
Wamwetu ubhomba shinza nubhaavwa aholo na jenyu ajenyi,
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,
ebho bhafumizye uluguno lwaho hwi kanisa. Aje ubhomba shinza abhashulezye abhasafirizye shila shasungwa Ungulubhi.
7 Because that for his Names sake they went forth, and tooke nothing of the Gentiles.
Hunongwa yitawa, bhahendeleye nkahweje nkahamo hwa pagani(hwa Mataifa).
8 We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be helpers to the trueth.
Tihwanziwa huje tibhakaribisyaje abhantu neshi ebha nkatibhe bhabhomba mbombo nabho.
9 I wrote vnto the Church: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not.
Nalisimbiye ikusanyiko(ubhungano) gwenyu ijambo limo lelo uDiotrefe, yasungwa abhe wahwandesiga hwitihananate.
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.
Nkanayenza naibhabhuula zyonti zyabhomba, sigahobhoha nembombo zyetu nantele abhakhana bhaala bhabhahwanza abhakaribisye aholo bhabhabhenga
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.
Awe usafwatizye embibhi ufwatizyaje enyinza, uyabhomba enyinza uyo muntu wa Ngulubhi; yabhomba embibhi sigaalolile Ungulubhi.
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.
U Demetrio bhalolile bhinji, natebhayo tilolile ezi zyatizilolile zyelyoli.
13 I haue many things to write: but I will not with yncke and pen write vnto thee:
Endinazyo nyinji ezyasimbe lelo siga ehwanza husimbile ne kalamu nuwino.
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.
Ehwanza aje enenze tilolane nkatiyanje nkatalolana humaso. Ulutengano lubhe nawe. Akundanu bhahulamuha. Shila muntu hwitawa lyakwe.
