3 John 1
1 The elder, unto Gaius the beloved, whom, I, love in truth.
Nkulutu sonikini nkanda wawu. Kuidi kiluzolo kiama Ngayusi, mutu wowo ndieti zola mu kiedika.
2 Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
A kiluzolo, lukanu luama luidi mu diambu wutoma nitu mu mambu moso ayi wuba mu buvini banga boso buntomina muelꞌaku.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly, at brethren coming and bearing witness unto thy truth, —even as, thou, in truth, art walking.
Khini yiwombo ndimona bakhomba bu bayiza ayi zitelimina kiedika kiaku kimbangi ayi buevi ngeyo weti diatila mu kiedika.
4 I have no, greater, favour than these things, that I should be hearing that, my own children, in the truth, are walking.
Ndikadi mona khini yiviokidi yayi: mu wa ti bana bama bandiatila mu kiedika.
5 Beloved! a faithful thing, art thou doing, whatsoever thou shalt accomplish for them that are brethren, and withal strangers, —
A kiluzolo, ngeyo widi wukuikama mu mambu moso momo wetivanga mu diambu di bakhomba; ka diambu ko badi banzenza kuidi ngeyo.
6 Who have borne witness to thy love before the assembly: whom thou wilt do, nobly, to set forward worthily of God.
Zinzenza beni zitelimina luzolo luaku kimbangi va ntuala dibundu. Wela luta vanga bumboti enati wuba sadisidi mu landakana nzietolo awu mu phila yimmonisa Nzambi khini.
7 For, in behalf of The Name, have they gone forth, taking, nothing, from them of the nations.
Bila bawu bayenda mu diambu di samina dizina di Pfumu mu kambu tambula kadikima kuidi Bapakanu.
8 We, therefore ought to be sustaining such as these, that we may become, fellowworkers, with the truth.
Beto tufueti yakulanga bumboti batu ba phila yoyi muingi tusala va kimosi mu diambu di kiedika.
9 I wrote something unto the assembly; but, he who is fond of taking the first place among them—Diotrephes, doth not make us welcome.
Tsonikini ndambu zi mambu kuidi dibundu vayi Diotelefe, mutu wuntomba monikanga wutheti mu bawu, wumanga ku khinzika.
10 For this cause, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he is doing, —with wicked words, prating against us; and, not content with these, he neither, himself, maketh the brethren welcome, but, them who are minded [to do it], he forbiddeth, and, out of the assembly, doth cast [them].
Diawu, enati ndizidi, ndiela yolukila mavanga momo kalembo vangibu keti tuba mambu mambimbi mu diambu dieto. Bika sia ti mawu kaka mambu keti vanga, vayi niandi veka kayakulanga ko bakhomba, weti kakidika bakhomba ziozi zitidi kuba yakula. Bosi weti kubakukamu dibundu.
11 Beloved! be not thou imitating what is bad, but what is good. He that doeth good, is, of God: he that doeth what is bad, hath not seen God.
A kiluzolo, kadi sokudilanga mambimbi vayi sokudilanga mamboti. Woso mutu wumvanganga mamboti Nzambi wumvuidi; woso mutu wumvanganga mambimbi kasia mona Nzambi ko.
12 Unto Demetrius, hath witness been borne by all and by the truth itself; howbeit, we also, bear witness, and thou knowest that, our witness, is, true.
Batu boso banteliminanga Demetelusi kimbangi ayi kiawu vekakiedika kinkuteliminanga kimbangi. Beto mamveto tueti kuntelimina kimbangiayi ngeyo zebi ti kimbangi kieto kidi ki kiedika.
13 Many things, had I to write unto thee, —but I am unwilling, with ink and pen, to be writing;
Mambu mawombo madi yama ma kusonikina vayi mbengi kusonikina mu thita ayi mu lapi.
14 I hope, however, straightway, to see thee, and, mouth to mouth, will we talk. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Vayi tsidi diana mu vika kumona; buna bosi tuela solula zizi mu zizi. Bika ndemama yibanga yaku. Bakundi badi kuaku bafidisidi mboti. Vana mboti kuidi bakundi badi kuna, kadika mutu mu dizina diandi.
