3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth!
Arikon t shuntso, shunetso Gayiyossh, Tiyoke eenashoke,
2 Beloved, I desire you to prosper concerning all things, and to be in health, even as your soul prospers,
T shuntsono! n be jamo neesh b́ kááwitwok'o, jeenono nwotitwok'o, jam weeron neesh b́sheengetwok'owe Ik'o tk'oniri.
3 for I rejoiced exceedingly, brothers coming and testifying of the truth in you, even as you walk in truth;
Arosh ni amanetsok'onat aron n beeyirwok'on krstiyani wotts eshu ik ikwots waat bokeewor aydek'atniye t geneúwi.
4 I have no joy greater than these things, that I may hear of my children walking in truth.
T nana'wots arikon ananefetst bobeyrwok'o shishoniye bogo taan geneúshit keewo aaliye.
5 Beloved, you act faithfully in whatever you may do toward the brothers and the one [among] strangers,
T shuntsono! neesh dab ib bowotiyalor eshu eshuwotssh amanek fine nfiniri.
6 who testified of your love before an assembly, whom you will do well, having sent forward worthily of God,
Bowere boosh shunon nfints fino Ik'i maa shinatse kishdek't keewrnee, andoor Ik'o genee'ushitwok'on bowerindosh boon ntep'al sheenge.
7 because they went forth for [His] Name, receiving nothing from the nations;
Krstossh finosh bokeshor amanerawwotsoke eegor tep'o dek'keyatsnee.
8 we, then, ought to receive such, that we may become fellow-workers to the truth.
Ari fin finrwotsnton finirwotsi nowotitwok'o hanotsk'o ashuwotsnton fino noon geyife.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but he who is loving to be first among them—Diotrephes—does not receive us;
Haniyere shinon Ik' moosh wosho guut're b́teshi, ernmo Ik' maa jish geyirwo Diyotrefis ti ettso de'atse.
10 because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he does, talking nonsense against us with evil words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and he forbids those intending [to receive them], and he casts [them] out of the assembly.
Eshe itok twoor bí noon c'ashfetst, ketifetst b́ k'alts gond fin jamo keewitwe, man bísh bodob́k'aye bí b́ tookish eshu eshuwotsi de'ake. K'oshwotswere bo de'awok'owe b́bazifoni. Ik'i mootsnowere boon b́gishefoni.
11 Beloved, do not be following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, he is of God, [but] he who is doing evil has not seen God;
T shuntsono! sheengo arowe bako gondo ark'aye. Sheeng finiru jamo Ik'ikee. Gond finirwonmó Ik'o be'atse.
12 testimony has been given to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself, and we also—we testify, and you have known that our testimony is true.
Dimet'ros jangosh ash jamo sheengkewon bísh gawirunee. Arunuwere b tookon bísh gawitwanee. Noowere gawitwone, nogawonwere ar b́ wotok'o danfnee.
13 Many things I had to write, but I do not wish to write to you through ink and pen,
Neesh guut'osh t geetso ay keewo detsfe b́ teshi, wotowa eree worek'atats neesh guut'o geeratse.
14 and I hope to see you soon, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to you! The friends greet you. Be greeting the friends by name.
Karnon neen bek'oshe jangirwe, manoor noonon keewetwone. Jeeno neesh wotowe. Hanoki n tooh tohuwots neesh jamo t'intsirune. Neewere no tohuwotssh jamo ik ikon t'intsuwe.
