3 UJohane 1
1 Umdala, kuye uGayusi othandekayo, mina engimthanda ngeqiniso.
Ahan oiraba eingondagi, Eina achumbada nungsiba, eigi achanba Gaius-ki maphamda ijari.
2 Sithandwa, kuzo zonke izinto ngifisa ukuthi uphumelele njalo uphile, njengalokhu umphefumulo wakho uphumelela.
Achanba, nahakki thawaina chaokhatpagum, nahakna hakchang phaba, maram pumnamakta chaokhattuna nahakna nungaina leinaba eina haijei.
3 Ngoba ngathokoza kakhulukazi, lapho kufika abazalwane, befakazela iqiniso lakho, njengoba wena uhamba eqinisweni.
Thajaba ichil inao kharana laktuna nahakna achumba aduda thajaba yana hingba amasung nahakna maduda chatli haina eingonda sakhi pibada, eina yamna harao-i.
4 Kangilantokozo enkulu edlula lezizinto, ukuthi ngizwe ukuthi abantwana bami bahamba eqinisweni.
Eigi ichasingna achumbada chatli haiba taba asidagi henna haraoba eigi leitre.
5 Sithandwa, wenza ngokuthembeka loba yikuphi okwenza kubazalwane lakwabemzini,
Achanbasa, nachin nanaosing adu nangondadi makhoi lamlanbasing oirabasu nahakna toubiriba adu thawai yaona toubi.
6 abafakazele uthando lwakho phambi kwebandla; uzakwenza kuhle uba ubaphelekezela ngokufanele uNkulunkulu.
Nahakki nungsibiba adugi maramda makhoina singluptasu tamle. Tengban Mapubu pelhanba mawongda makhoigi khongchatpu makhatanaba makhoibu mateng pangbiyu.
7 Ngoba ngenxa yebizo lakhe baphumile bengemukeli lutho kwabezizwe.
Maramdi Christtagi thougalgidamak thajadaba misingdagi mateng amata loudana makhoina makhoigi khongchat adu chatpa houkhibani.
8 Ngakho thina sifanele ukubemukela abanjalo, ukuze sibe yizisebenzi kanye leqiniso.
Achumbagidamak makhoina suriba thabak aduda eikhoisu saruk yajanaba, eikhoina Christian ama oina makhoibu mateng pangpham thok-i.
9 Ngabhalela ibandla; kodwa uDiyotrefe othanda ukuba ngowokuqala kubo kasemukeli.
Eina singlupta samlappa wa ikhre, adubu makhoigi makok oiningba Diotrephes-na eina haiba wa taroi.
10 Ngakho, uba ngifika, ngizakhumbuza imisebenzi yakhe ayenzayo, uyasihleba ngamazwi amabi; futhi kakholiswa yilezizinto, yena uqobo kemukeli abazalwane, uyabalela lalabo abathanda ukukwenza, njalo uyabaxotsha ebandleni.
Maram aduna eina lakpa matamdadi, mahakna touriba thabaksing amadi eikhoigi maramda sandokliba kanadaba athiba wasing adugi maramda eina ningsinggani. Madunasu pendraduna ichin inaosingbu mahakna lousinde. Makhoibu lousinningba mising adubusu mahakna thing-i amasung makhoibu singluptagi tanthok-i.
11 Sithandwa, ungakulingiseli okubi, kodwa okuhle. Owenza okuhle ungokaNkulunkulu; kodwa owenza okubi kambonanga uNkulunkulu.
Achanbasa, phattabagi matou tamganu, adubu aphabagi matou tammu. Aphaba touriba mahak adu Tengban Mapugini. Phattaba touriba mahak aduna Tengban Mapubu udri.
12 NgoDemetriyu kufakazwe yibo bonke, langeqiniso uqobo; lathi futhi siyafakaza, lani liyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bethu buqinisile.
Mi khudingmakna Demetrius-ki maramda phajana ngangnei; achumba adumakna mahakki maramda phajana ngang-i. Aduga eikhoinasu mahakki maramda phajana ngangli amasung eikhoina piba sakhidi achumbani haiba nahakna khang-i.
13 Bengilezinto ezinengi zokubhala, kodwa kangithandi ukukubhalela ngeyinki losiba;
Eina nangonda igadaba yamna leiri adubu eina muk amasung khorjeina i-ba pamdre.
14 kodwa ngithemba ukukubona masinyane, sibe sesikhuluma umlomo ngomlomo. Ukuthula kakube kuwe. Abangane bayakubingelela. Bingelela abangane ngamabizo.
Eina nahakka thuna unagani haina asa toujari aduga eikhoiga maiga maiga unaduna wari sanagani. Nangonda ingthaba leisanu. Nahakki marupsingna khurumjari. Mapham aduda leiba marupsinggi maming panduna khurumjari haina tambiyu.
