3 Joni 1
1 Nagra Joni'na mono kva ne'mo'na (elda), Gaiusiga knare nenafuga tamage kemofoma navesima nente'na, navesima negantoa ne'moka krenegamue.
The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2 Ronenimoke, nagra nunamu nehuankino hakare zamo'a knare hugantena, kria e'orinka kagu'amo'ma hu'nea kna hunka knare hugahane.
Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.
3 Na'ankure mago'a nenafu'za e'za tamage kemo'ma kagu'afi me'nea kema huama hazage'na, tamage kemo'ma hu'nea kante mani fatgo hu'nana zankura, nagra tusi muse hu'noe.
For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth.
4 Antahuama mofavre naganimo'za tamage kemofompi mani'naze hazazankura, nagra mago'a knama nehua musena, agatere'na tusi muse hu'noe.
I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Knare rone'nimoke, maka'zama kafuheinte'ene, ru vahete'enema huzmante'nana zamo'a, knare kavukva'ma hunka vu'nanazana eri ama hu'ne.
Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,
6 Kagrama zamesima zamantenka, knare kavukva'ma huma zamante'nana zankura, mono vahe zamure eme huama hu'za tasami'naze. Kama vunaku'ma hanagenka, Anumzamofo knare avu'ava zampi, so'e kavukva huzmantege'za viho.
who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.
7 Na'ankure ana vahe'mo'za, Jisasi Agi'a eri'za vu'za e'za nehu'za, zamagra mago zmazahu'zana mono ontahi vahepintira e'origahaze.
For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.
8 Ana hu'negu, tagra e'inahu vahera zamaza hugahune, ana'ma hanuta tamage kemofo eri'zana magoka tragoteta erigahune.
We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
9 Nagra mono naga'motmarega mago avona ko kre rami'noanagi, Diotrefesi'a zamagritera agra avesite ugagota huzmantenaku nehunokino, tagrira tageno antahino osu'ne.
I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.
10 E'i ana hu'negu, nagrama esu'na, agrama nehia avu'avamofo kea eme antahinege'na, havigema huma rante'nea kea antahigahue! E'i ana kege osu'neanki, nerafu'zama azageno'a agra muse huno ozmare'ne. Hianagi knare kema nehu'za zamazeri so'e huku'ma haza vahera, mono nompintira zamahenatitre'ne!
Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those that would he forbiddeth, and casteth them out of the church.
11 Ronenimote havi zamu'zma'ma nehazamokizmi zamavu'zmavara e'oriho. Hianagi knare'ma hu'nenia tamutma hiho. Mago'mo'ma knare avu'ava'ma himo'a Anumzamofo vahe mani'ne, hagi mago'mo'ma havi avu'ava'ma nehimo'a, Anumzamofona onke'ne.
Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
12 Demitriasinkura rama'a vahe'mo'za huama hunentageno, tamage kemo'enena huama hunte'ne. Tagranena anazanke huta huama nehunkenka, kagra antahinka kenka hu'nane, tagrama hunankemo'a tamage me'ne.
To Demetrius testimony hath been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and ye know that our witness is true.
13 Hakare avoma kreramisua nanekea me'neanagi, avo zotareti'ma krerami'zankura nagesa nontahue.
I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;
14 Hianagi mensintfana tamagenakure hu'na nagesa nentahue, magopi mani'neta keaga hanunegu nehue. Ramofo rimpa fruzamo'a tamagrane mesie. Amafima nemaniza ronenimo'za musenke huramantaze. Magoke magoke'mokizmi zamagire musenkea huramantaze.
but I hope to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
