3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Abwng lokv— Ngoogv jvjvrungbv paknam, ayanam Gaiusnyi.
2 Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.
Ngoogv ayanam ajin, noogv Dow lo alvdunv vla ngo chinam aingbv—ogumvnwng ngv alvminggv yilakv okv noogv adwnayak vka alv yilakv vla ngo kumdunv.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth.
Noogv jvjvlo ribvdoobvnam aingbv—vdwlo kristan meego aadula okv no jvjvlo vdwgo jwkjwkvrwk la ridu vla nga minam am ngo achialvbv mvngputo.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwv jvjvlo ridudodu kv vnam am ngo tvvpanam si oguguka mvngpu yanvgo kaaku madu.
5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,
Ngoogv ayanam ajin, nonuno kvbi kristan ajin vdwgv lvgabv vdwlo bunu nyien bv rijeka kudungkua riji kolo nonu achialvbv jwkjwkvrwk bv ridu.
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.
Bunu gvrja lo nonugv paknam lvkwnglo japla ridu. Pwknvyarnvnyi mvnglwk koodubv bunugv mooying vngtung nga vngbv dubv bunua mvdurridur laka.
7 For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.
Vkvlvgavbolo mvngjwngmanv vdwgvlo oguka ridurnam kamabv Kristo gv kudungkua lvgabv bunu mooying vnglintoku.
8 We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
Vbvrikunamv, ngonu kristan vdwv, sikvnv nyi vdw sum ridur tvka vbvribolo ngonu bunua jvjv gv lvgabv kudungkua nga ridur minggv lare.
9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.
Ngo gvrja lo siti takching achukgo lvkto; vbvritola Diotrepes, oogv rigvdubv mvngnv, vv ngo ogugo mimpvdw um tvvgap jima.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, vdwlo ngo aarekudw vkvgv ripvkunam ogumvnwng nga ngo aagv jireku: Busunam gaam si hv vdwgo ngonu lvkwnglo mimbvdw okv hv mvvla minku bvdw! vbvritola ninyi lvgabv vv mvngchik chima; ngonugv kristan ajin vdwv bunu aajvka umka laarwk simare, okv laarwk sinwngnv vdwaka bunua mintur yala ridu okv bunua gvrja lokv charlin yadubv gwngduku!
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.
Ngoogv ajin vdw, alvmanv nga kaagv la riyoka, vbvritola alvnvngv ogudw um kaagv la ritoka. Yvvdw alvnvbv ridunv vv Pwknvyarnv gvbv ridunv; Yvvdw alvmanv oguvdw um ridunv vv Pwknvyarnvnyi kaama dunv.
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.
Dementrius gv lvkwnglo nyi mvnwng ngv alvnvbv mindu; jvjvklv ngvka ninyia alvnvbv mindu. Okv ngonuka bvngtam minggv dunv, okv nonu chindu ngonu ogugo mindudw vv jvjvdu.
13 I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;
Ngo gvlo nonua achialvgo minsv ngv doodu, vbvrijvka ngo koolum okv sai lokv lvknya jilama.
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.
Nonua ngo baapubv kaarwk sinvpv mvngtin sidu, okv vbvrikubolo ngonuv doorwk sitola atuanying ngv japrwk sipa reku. Sarsopoyo ngv nonu gvlo dooming gvyilaka. Ngoogv ajin vdwv kumrwksinam am jilwkdu. Nonugv ajin mvnwng ngv kumrwksidu.
