3 John 1
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
Unanu udenge Asere Gayus desa ma ram iriba.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects yoʋ may prosper and be in good health, even as yoʋr soul prospers.
Nihenu inzin biringara barki ure aje ashi me nan nihuma nishi me kasi uciki ubibe biriri bishi me.
3 For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about yoʋr faithfulness to the truth and how yoʋ walk in the truth.
Ma wuza iriba irum unu ira aye anyimo anihenu wa e barki kadure kashi me, barki i haka anyimo kadure.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
In zom iri mum sa iteki igeme ba, ukunna agi ahana awe wa haka meru.
5 Beloved, yoʋ are acting faithfully in whatever yoʋ do for the brothers and for those who are strangers to you.
Uhenu um, vat imum be sa uwuza nihenu, katuma ku inko iriba ini u zini umuta agenu.
6 They have testified of yoʋr love before the church, and yoʋ will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
We wani wa bezi uzina uwe me ahira anu tarsa Asere, idi wu uri u tibi we in ire imum, ani me udi bezi utarsa Asere.
7 For they went out for the sake of the Name, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
Barki niza nigino nini wa suri ni, ma kabsa imum ba ahira anu tarsa Asere.
8 Therefore we ought to receive men like them, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Barki ani me idi wu uri ti kabsi usandu anu agino me, ti canti we merum, barki ti cukuno aroni akatuma nan we anyimo akadure.
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to put himself first, does not acknowledge us.
Ma nyertike uhana anyimo nigura me, ma ira Diyotarifis, desa ma nyra ma cukuno bigoro a nyimo awe me, ma game itarsa utize tiru.
10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing and the evil accusations of nonsense that he is making against us. And he is not satisfied with that! He not only refuses to receive the brothers, but also stops those who want to do so and throws them out of the church.
Barki ani me, ingi ma aye, indi buki me imum me sa ma wuza, ma wuza bi bukum biru barki ma cari duru ni, ani me ya bari me ba, ma game u wuna uni henu mahabi, ma karti, i an desa wa nyara uwuza mahabi, ma suzo we anyimo udenge wa Asere.
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. Whoever does good is of God; whoever does evil has not seen God.
Nihenu, kati i tarsi imum iburi ba tarsa nin igebe sa izi iriri, desa ma wuza imum iriri ma rusa Asere, desa ma wuza imum iburi ma taame Asere ba.
12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.
Damitiya ma rusa kode nyani ahira akonde vi, kadure in nice ni kani ka tarsa me, haru ma ti rusan in ani me, urusa uru me kadure kani.
13 I have much to write, but I do not want to write to yoʋ with pen and ink.
Ma zin in timumum gbardang tige be sa ma nyari in nyertike, mi be daki ma nyara in nyertike ba in nibiro ni mei, barki ma ira ida wuna me uri ani me ba.
14 I hope to see yoʋ soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be with yoʋ. The friends greet yoʋ. Greet the friends by name.
In zinu ubasa me tidi iri acece anyimo ati ye ti geme sarki ucara uganiya, abini me tidi buu tize aje unu hira aje. Cukuno ni ini riba iruum, aroni wa iso kode vi in niza nume.
