< 3 John 1 >

1 The eldere man to Gayus, most dere brother, whom Y loue in treuthe.
Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go: Nna Johane, mogolwane wa phuthego. Ke lo kwalela: Gaeyo yo ke mo ratang ka boammaaruri.
2 Most dere brothir, of alle thingis Y make preyer, that thou entre, and fare welefuly, as thi soule doith welefuli.
Tsala e e rategang, ke rapelela gore o segofale mo dilong tsotlhe le gore mmele wa gago o itekanele fela jaaka ke itse ka fa mowa wa gago o itekanetseng ka teng.
3 Y ioyede greetli, for britheren camen, and baren witnessing to thi treuthe, `as thou walkist in treuthe.
Bangwe ba bakaulengwe ba ba kileng ba tla kwano ba intumedisitse thata ka go mpolelela gore botshelo jwa gago bo phepa ebile bo boammaaruri ka nako tsotlhe, le gore o tshela kafa Mafokong a a Molemo.
4 Y haue not more grace of these thingis, than that Y here that my sones walke in treuthe.
Go ne go se na boitumelo bope jo ke neng ka nna najo go gaisa go utlwa dikgang tse di ntseng jalo ka bongwanake.
5 Most dere brother, thou doist feithfuli, what euer thou worchist in britheren, and that in to pilgrymys,
Tsala e e rategang, o direla Modimo tiro e e molemo ka go tlhokomela baruti ba e leng batsamai le bareri ba ba fetang.
6 which yeldiden witnessing to thi charite, in the siyt of the chirche; which thou leddist forth, and doist wel worthili to God.
Ba boleletse phuthego kwano ka botsalano jwa lona le ditiro tsa gago tsa lorato. Ke itumela fa e a re ba tsamaya o ba fe dimpho ka bopelotshweu.
7 For thei wenten forth for his name, and token no thing of hethene men.
Gonne ba tsamaela Morena, mme ga ba tseye dijo, diaparo, mogope (tante) le fa e le madi mo go ba e seng Bakeresete, le fa tota ba ba reretse.
8 Therfor we owen to resseyue siche, that we be euen worcheris of treuthe.
Jalo rona ka sebele re tshwanetse ra ba tlhokomela gore re tle re nne badiri le bone mo tirong ya Morena.
9 I hadde write perauenture to the chirche, but this Diotrepes, that loueth to bere primacie in hem, resseyueth not vs.
Ke romeletse phuthego lokwalo lo lo khutshwane ka selo se, mme Dioterefese wa moikgantshi, yo o ratang go itshusumeletsa kwa pele go nna moeteledipele wa Bakeresete teng koo, ga a batle ke mo laola ebile o gana go ntheetsa.
10 For this thing, if Y schal come, Y schal moneste hise werkis, whiche he doith, chidinge ayens vs with yuel wordis. And as if these thingis suffisen not to hym, nether he resseyueth britheren, and forbedith hem that resseyuen, and puttith out of the chirche.
E tlaa re ke tsena koo ke tlaa go bolelela dingwe tsa dilo tse a di dirang le ka dilo tse di sa siamang tse a buang kaga me le ka puo e e tlhapatsang. Ga a gane fela go amogela batsamaisi ba Lefoko la Modimo, mme o raya ba bangwe a re ba seka ba ba amogela, mme fa ba dira jalo o leka go ba kgaola mo phuthegong.
11 Moost dere brothir, nyle thou sue yuel thing, but that that is good thing. He that doith wel, is of God; he that doith yuel, seeth not God.
Tsala e e rategang, o seka wa letla sekao se se maswe se go go tlhotlheletsa. Sala morago fela se se molemo. Gakologelwa gore ba ba dirang tshiamo ba supa gore ke bana ba Modimo; mme ba ba tswelelang ba dira bosula ba supa gore ba kgakala le Modimo.
12 Witnessing is yoldun to Demetrie of alle men, and of treuthe it silf; but also we beren witnessing, and thou knowist, that oure witnessing is trewe.
Mme batho botlhe, le Boammaaruri tota ba bua ka Demeterio. Le nna ka sebele ke ka bua jalo kaga gagwe, mme oa itse gore ke bua boammaaruri.
13 Y hadde many thingis to wryte to thee, but Y wolde not write to thee bi enke and penne.
Ke na le go le gontsi mo ke ka go buang mme ga ke batle go go kwala,
14 For Y hope soone to se thee, and we schulen speke mouth to mouth. Pees be to thee. Frendis greten thee wel. Greete thou wel frendis bi name.
gonne ke solofela go go bona mo bogautshwaneng mme ke gone re tlaa buang go le gontsi re le mmogo. Ke gone salang sentle. Ditsala kwano di a lo dumedisa, mme tswee-tswee o ntumedisetse mongwe le mongwe koo. Wa lona ruri, Johane.
