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 the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the 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 respects yoʋ may prosper and be in good health, even as yoʋr soul prospers.

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 was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about yoʋr faithfulness to the truth and how yoʋ walk in the 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 to hear that my children are 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, yoʋ are acting faithfully in whatever yoʋ do for the brothers and for those who are strangers to you.

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.

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.

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 they went out for the sake of the Name, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.

8 Ana hu'negu, tagra e'inahu vahera zamaza hugahune, ana'ma hanuta tamage kemofo eri'zana magoka tragoteta erigahune.

Therefore we ought to receive men like them, so 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 to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to put himself first, does not acknowledge us.

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!

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.

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 what is evil, but what is good. Whoever does good is of God; whoever does evil has 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 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.

13 Hakare avoma kreramisua nanekea me'neanagi, avo zotareti'ma krerami'zankura nagesa nontahue.

I have much to write, but I do not want to write to yoʋ with pen and ink.

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.

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.
