3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth!
Unanu udenge Asere Gayus desa ma ram iriba.
2 Beloved, I desire you to prosper concerning all things, and to be in health, even as your soul prospers,
Nihenu inzin biringara barki ure aje ashi me nan nihuma nishi me kasi uciki ubibe biriri bishi me.
3 for I rejoiced exceedingly, brothers coming and testifying of the truth in you, even as you walk in truth;
Ma wuza iriba irum unu ira aye anyimo anihenu wa e barki kadure kashi me, barki i haka anyimo kadure.
4 I have no joy greater than these things, that I may hear of my children walking in truth.
In zom iri mum sa iteki igeme ba, ukunna agi ahana awe wa haka meru.
5 Beloved, you act faithfully in whatever you may do toward the brothers and the one [among] strangers,
Uhenu um, vat imum be sa uwuza nihenu, katuma ku inko iriba ini u zini umuta agenu.
6 who testified of your love before an assembly, whom you will do well, having sent forward worthily of God,
We wani wa bezi uzina uwe me ahira anu tarsa Asere, idi wu uri u tibi we in ire imum, ani me udi bezi utarsa Asere.
7 because they went forth for [His] Name, receiving nothing from the nations;
Barki niza nigino nini wa suri ni, ma kabsa imum ba ahira anu tarsa Asere.
8 we, then, ought to receive such, that we may become fellow-workers to the truth.
Barki ani me idi wu uri ti kabsi usandu anu agino me, ti canti we merum, barki ti cukuno aroni akatuma nan we anyimo akadure.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but he who is loving to be first among them—Diotrephes—does not receive us;
Ma nyertike uhana anyimo nigura me, ma ira Diyotarifis, desa ma nyra ma cukuno bigoro a nyimo awe me, ma game itarsa utize tiru.
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.
Barki ani me, ingi ma aye, indi buki me imum me sa ma wuza, ma wuza bi bukum biru barki ma cari duru ni, ani me ya bari me ba, ma game u wuna uni henu mahabi, ma karti, i an desa wa nyara uwuza mahabi, ma suzo we anyimo udenge wa Asere.
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;
Nihenu, kati i tarsi imum iburi ba tarsa nin igebe sa izi iriri, desa ma wuza imum iriri ma rusa Asere, desa ma wuza imum iburi ma taame Asere ba.
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.
Damitiya ma rusa kode nyani ahira akonde vi, kadure in nice ni kani ka tarsa me, haru ma ti rusan in ani me, urusa uru me kadure kani.
13 Many things I had to write, but I do not wish to write to you through ink and pen,
Ma zin in timumum gbardang tige be sa ma nyari in nyertike, mi be daki ma nyara in nyertike ba in nibiro ni mei, barki ma ira ida wuna me uri ani me ba.
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.
In zinu ubasa me tidi iri acece anyimo ati ye ti geme sarki ucara uganiya, abini me tidi buu tize aje unu hira aje. Cukuno ni ini riba iruum, aroni wa iso kode vi in niza nume.
