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 unto 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, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even 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 bare witness unto thy truth, even 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.
Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking 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 work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
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 bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
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.
because that for the sake 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 welcome such, 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 somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence 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!
Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them 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, imitate not 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.
Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest 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 unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] 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 shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
