3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Mbaha, Gayo ne gane, Yuve nehuganile mu yelweli.
2 Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.
Vegane nihohodovela usayiwe hu fifufyoni nu huwa nkafu pa mbele, ndu enumbula yaho umuyisayiwa.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth.
Na hovwihe vavile vambolile ava likolo vavo vahinchile nu huhumia elimenyu lya lweli yaho, ndu umovugendela mu lweli.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
Nelevovole uluhekelo uluvaha ululutelile, uhupulika uhuta avana vanu vigenda muyelweli.
5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,
Vegane yuwe vugenda mu yelweli uhuvatanga avalokolo na avagenji.
6 who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.
Vavo vahominche uvaye lweli nu ulugano lwaho pampelela. Vuvomba vononu uhuvatanga mu njila ncha vene nu uhong'ovosya u Nguluve.
7 For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.
Ulwahova ndi tawa valutile hetagega ehenu hyohyoni uhuhuma hu vanuavakilunga.
8 We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
Pu, tunogiwa uhuvambelela avanu ndava, pu tuve vavomba mbombo vaniie va yelweli.
9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.
Navasimbile avalulundamano elimenyu, ulwahuva Diotrofe uveinogwa uhuva mbulongolo huvanine, sihwedehane nufwe.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those that would he forbiddeth, and casteth them out of the church.
Nenginche, nikumbuhaga imbombo incha mwene incho ihonchivomba, umu inchova amamenyu amavivi gaga sa getu. Sedehine ni mbombo inchi, umwene sihovupilila avalokolo. Ihovabencha avange vavo vinogwa uhuvumpelela avalokolo nu huwaswema vahome mu lulundamano.
11 Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Vegane, usite uhwegela ifivivi, egelaga ifinya vononu. umwene yuywa ivomba amanonu iva va Nguruve nu uve ivomba amavivi iva sambwene u Nguruve.
12 To Demetrius testimony hath been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and ye know that our witness is true.
Demetrio avonike na vanu voni na yelweli, na yofwe tulevatangeli, uhumanyile uhuta amamenyu getu ga yelweli.
13 I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;
Nelenago amamenyu mingi agahuhusimbila, leno saninogwa uhuhusimbile ne simbelo.
14 but I hope to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Ninogwa uhwagana muve lenoleno, pu ya twinchovana. Uluhungu luve nuve, avamanyani vihoho ponia, vaponiage avamanyani yomoyomo hulitawa lya mwene
