3 John 1
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I truly love with divine love.
Kulawa kwa neni mzewi mlongoziya, nukulembera gwenga Gayu, ganja gwangu yanukufira muwunakaka.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper concerning all things and be well, as your soul prospers.
Ganja gwangu, nukuluwira kwa Mlungu gupananwi vitwatira viheri, viraa nukuluwira kwa Mlungu guweri mkomu munshimba ntambu yaguwera mkomu murohu.
3 I rejoice exceedingly, the brethren coming and witnessing to thy truth, as thou art walking about in truth.
Nemeleriti nentu walongu wamu pawasokiti panu, wang'ambira kuusu ujimirika waku muwunakaka, na ntambu yagwendereya kulikala muwunakaka.
4 I have no greater joy than this, that I may hear of my children walking about in truth.
Kwa hera shintu shashinemeleziya nentu kuliku kupikinira kuwera wana wangu walikala munakaka.
5 Beloved, whatsoever faithful deed thou mayest do to the brethren, thou art also dispensing to the strangers,
Ganja gwangu, gwenga gujimirika kwa galii gaguwatendera walongu, tembera weni wawera wahenga kwa gwenga.
6 who have witnessed to thy divine love before the church: whom you will do well, having sent forth worthily of God.
Walongu washigambira shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu kuusu ufiru wakuwi. Shondi guwatangi kwa ntambu yayimfiriziya Mlungu, wendereyi na mwanja gwawu.
7 For the sake of his name they went out, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
Toziya wankwanja mwanja gwawu muwuntumini wa Kristu pota kwanka utanga woseri kulawa kwa wantu yawamumana ndiri Mlungu.
8 Therefore we ought to receive such, in order that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
Su twenga tufiruwa kuwatanga wantu gambira awa, na twenga tupati kutenda lihengu pamuhera nawomberi kwajili ya unakaka.
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, loving the preeminence over them, does not receive us.
Nembiti luhamba kwa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, kumbiti Diwutirifi, yakafiraga kuwera mlongoziya gwawu, kalema nakaka kutenda pamuhera na twenga.
10 On account of this, if I may come, I will remember his works which he is doing, berating us with wicked speeches: and not content with these, he does not receive the brethren, and he prohibits them wishing to receive them, and casts them out of the church.
Su pansoka hananguziyi paweru vitwatira vyoseri vyakatenda, visoweru vidoda na upayira vyakatakula kuusu twenga. Viraa mweni kalema kuwashemera walongu yawawera mumwanja. Na kawalewelera wamonga yawafira kuwashemera, kawalewelera na kawawinga kunja kwa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
11 Beloved, imitate not the evil, but the good. The one doing good is of God: the one doing evil has not seen God.
Ganja gwangu, nagufata mfanu gwa ukondola kumbiti gufati mfanu gwagumfiriziya Mlungu. Kila yakatenda gaherepa kawera gwa Mlungu, kumbiti yakatenda ukondola, yomberi kamumana ndiri Mlungu.
12 To Demetrius it has been testified by all, and by the truth itself: and we also testify: and you know that our testimony is true.
Kila muntu kamkapitawulira Demetiriu, na unakaka weni umkapitawulira. Na twenga viraa twankumkapitawulira na gwenga guvimana kuwera ukapitawu wa twenga ndo wa nakaka.
13 Having many things to write to you, but I do not wish to write them to you with ink and paper:
Nweriti na gavuwa ganfiriti kukulembera, kumbiti hapeni nugalembi.
14 but I hope to see you immediately, and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace be unto you. The friends salute you; salute the friends by name.
Ntumbira kukuwona mashaka galaa aga na hatuyoweri. Ponga iweri pamuhera na gwenga. Waganja waku wa panu wakulamusiya. Guwalamusiyi waganja wetu woseri yawawera aku, kila muntu.
