3 John 1
1 The Elder to his dear friend Gaius. Truly I love you.
Unanu udenge Asere Gayus desa ma ram iriba.
2 My dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers.
Nihenu inzin biringara barki ure aje ashi me nan nihuma nishi me kasi uciki ubibe biriri bishi me.
3 For it is an intense joy to me when brethren come and bear witness to your fidelity to the truth--that you live in obedience to 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 living in obedience to the truth.
In zom iri mum sa iteki igeme ba, ukunna agi ahana awe wa haka meru.
5 My dear friend, you are acting faithfully in all your behaviour towards the brethren, even when they 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, in the presence of the Church, to your love; and you will do well to help them on their journey in a manner worthy of your fellowship with 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 it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
Barki niza nigino nini wa suri ni, ma kabsa imum ba ahira anu tarsa Asere.
8 It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting 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 have the first place among them, refuses to listen to 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 For this reason, if I come, I shall not forget his conduct, nor his idle and mischievous talk against us. And he does not stop there: he not only will not receive the brethren, but those who desire to do this he hinders, and excludes them from 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 My dear friend, do not follow wrong examples, but right ones. He who habitually does what is right is a child of God: he who habitually does what is wrong 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 The character of Demetrius has the approval of all men, and of the truth itself. We also express our approval of it, and you know that we only give our approval to that which 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 a great deal to say to you, but I do not wish to go on writing it with ink and pen.
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 But I hope to see you very soon, and then we will speak face to face. Peace be with you. Our friends send greetings to you. Greet our friends individually.
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.
