3 John 1
1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
Ọ bụ okenye ahụ, Na-edegara Gaiọs, onye ahụrụ nʼanya akwụkwọ a, bụ onye m hụrụ nʼanya nʼeziokwu.
2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
Onye m hụrụ nʼanya, ekpere m bụ na ahụ ga-esi gị ike, ka ihe na-agara gị nke ọma, dịka ọ na-agara mkpụrụobi gị nke ọma.
3 I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, even as you yourself in truth are walking.
Aṅụrịrị m ọṅụ nke ukwu, mgbe ụfọdụ ụmụnna bịara gbaa ama banyere ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị nye eziokwu, na otu i si nọgide na-agbaso eziokwu ahụ.
4 Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.
O nweghị ihe na-enye m ọṅụ karịa ịnụ na ụmụ m na-agbaso eziokwu.
5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,
Onye m hụrụ nʼanya, i kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼihe ọbụla nke ị na-emere ụmụnna, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ọbịa nye gị.
6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
Ha akọọlara nzukọ banyere ịhụnanya gị. Biko, mgbe ha na-apụ, nyekwara ha aka nʼije ha nʼụzọ ga-enye Chineke otuto.
7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)
Ọ bụ nʼihi aha ahụ ka ha biliri ije, na-anaraghị enyemaka ọbụla site nʼaka ndị na-ekweghị ekwe.
8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
Nke a mere o ji kwesi ekwesi na anyị ga-elekọta ndị dị otu a anya ka anyị bụrụ ndị so ha na-ejikọta aka nʼotu nʼọrụ eziokwu ahụ.
9 I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
Edere m akwụkwọ ozi zigara nzukọ ahụ, ma Diotrefis onye ọ na-atọ ụtọ ịbụ onye mbụ, anabataghị anyị nke ọma.
10 Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing he forbids and from the church he casts [them] out.
Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na m abịa, aga m eme ka ihe niile ọ na-eme na ọtụtụ ihe niile ọ na-ekwu megide anyị pụta ìhè. Ọ bụghị naanị na afọ ejughi ya nʼihi ihe ndị a niile, ọ jụrụ ịnabata ndị ụmụnna, ma na-egbochi ndị ọzọ chọrọ ịnabata ha ka ha ghara ime otu ahụ. Ọ na-achụpụkwa ha site nʼụlọ nzukọ.
11 Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil but what [is] good. The [one] doing good of God is; the [one] (now *k*) doing evil not has seen God.
Onye m hụrụ nʼanya, eṅomila ihe dị njọ kama ṅomie ihe dị mma. Onye ọbụla na-eme ezi ihe na-egosi na o si na Chineke. Onye ọ bụlakwa na-eme ajọ ihe ahụbeghị Chineke anya.
12 To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N(k)O*) that the testimony of us true is.
Onye ọbụla na-agba ezi ama banyere Dimitriọs ọ bụladị eziokwu ahụ nʼonwe ya. Anyị na-ekwukwa ezi ihe banyere ya. Ị makwaara na ọ bụ ezi ama ka anyị na-agba.
13 Many things I had (to write *N(k)O*) (to you, *no*) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N(k)O*)
Enwere m ọtụtụ ihe m chọrọ idere gị nʼakwụkwọ, ma achọghị m iji mkpisi odee na inki dee ha.
14 I hope however soon you to see and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace to you. Greet you the friends. do greet the friends by name.
Ọ bụ olileanya m ịbịa ịhụ gị nʼoge na-adịghị anya. Mgbe ahụ anyị ga-anọdụ ala kwuo ihe niile nʼihu nʼihu. Ka udo dịrị gị. Ndị enyi niile nọ nʼebe a na-ekele gị. Kelekwa ndị enyi niile nọ nʼebe ahụ nʼaha nʼaha.
