3 John 1
1 The elder, unto Gaius the beloved, whom, I, love in truth.
Omukaruka, ku Gayo omwendwa, oyo enenda muchimari.
2 Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
Mwendwa enikusabhila ubhone amabhando misago jona na ubhe no bhuanga bhwa kisi, lwakutyo omwoyo gwao ogubhonekelwa.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly, at brethren coming and bearing witness unto thy truth, —even as, thou, in truth, art walking.
Okubha nakondewe muno omwanya ogwo nabwiliwe na abhayili bhanu bhejile okusosha obhubhambasi bwechimali chao, lwa kutyo oulibhata muchimali.
4 I have no, greater, favour than these things, that I should be hearing that, my own children, in the truth, are walking.
Nitali nobhukondelewe bhunene kukila bhunu, okungwa ati abhana bhani abhalibhata muchimali.
5 Beloved! a faithful thing, art thou doing, whatsoever thou shalt accomplish for them that are brethren, and withal strangers, —
Omwendwa ukola kwo mwoyo gwekisi okusakila abhaili na abhagenyi.
6 Who have borne witness to thy love before the assembly: whom thou wilt do, nobly, to set forward worthily of God.
Bhanu bhasosishe obhubhambasi bwe elyenda lyao mumeso ga likanisa. Oukola ejakisi okubhasila mulugendo lwebwe kunjila jinu ejimukondela Nyamuanga.
7 For, in behalf of The Name, have they gone forth, taking, nothing, from them of the nations.
Kwo kubha kwa sina, bhangendele, bhutagega chinu chonechone kusoka kubhanu bha Maanga.
8 We, therefore ought to be sustaining such as these, that we may become, fellowworkers, with the truth.
Kulwejo ejendibwa okubhakuma abhanu nkabhanu abho, koleleki chibhe bhakosi bhe milimu muchimali.
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.
Nandikie likanisa lisango lilebhe, nawe Diotrofe unu kenda okubha wokwamba agati yebwe, atakuchikilisha eswe.
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].
Kulwejo alibha naja, nilichuka ebhikolwa byae bhinu kakola, lwa kutyo kaika emisango emibhibhi ejitasyanya neswe. Achali kwikilishanya nebhikolwa bhinu, omwenene atakubhalamila abhaili, nolwo kabhaganya abhandi bhanu abhenda okubhakuma abho abhaili nokubhabhilimya bhasoke mwikanisa.
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.
Omwendwa usige okulubha echibhibhi atali ulubhe ejakisi. Unu kakola agakisi ni wa Nyamuanga na unu kakola amabhibhi achali kumulola Nyamuanga.
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.
Demetrio kabhambalilwa na bhone ne chimali echene eswe bhona echimwimako no omenya ati obhubhambasi bweswe ni bwe chimali.
13 Many things, had I to write unto thee, —but I am unwilling, with ink and pen, to be writing;
Ninago amagambo mafu agokukwandikila, atari ntakwenda okukwandikila kwa ikalamu no bwino.
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.
Atali enenda okuja okukulola kusiku ja oli anu, chililoma chili amwi. Omulembe gubhe amwi nawe, abhasani abhakukesha. Bhakeshe abhasani bhuli munu kwi lisina lyae.
