3 UJohane 1
1 Umdala, kuye uGayusi othandekayo, mina engimthanda ngeqiniso.
Nagra Joni'na mono kva ne'mo'na (elda), Gaiusiga knare nenafuga tamage kemofoma navesima nente'na, navesima negantoa ne'moka krenegamue.
2 Sithandwa, kuzo zonke izinto ngifisa ukuthi uphumelele njalo uphile, njengalokhu umphefumulo wakho uphumelela.
Ronenimoke, nagra nunamu nehuankino hakare zamo'a knare hugantena, kria e'orinka kagu'amo'ma hu'nea kna hunka knare hugahane.
3 Ngoba ngathokoza kakhulukazi, lapho kufika abazalwane, befakazela iqiniso lakho, njengoba wena uhamba eqinisweni.
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.
4 Kangilantokozo enkulu edlula lezizinto, ukuthi ngizwe ukuthi abantwana bami bahamba eqinisweni.
Antahuama mofavre naganimo'za tamage kemofompi mani'naze hazazankura, nagra mago'a knama nehua musena, agatere'na tusi muse hu'noe.
5 Sithandwa, wenza ngokuthembeka loba yikuphi okwenza kubazalwane lakwabemzini,
Knare rone'nimoke, maka'zama kafuheinte'ene, ru vahete'enema huzmante'nana zamo'a, knare kavukva'ma hunka vu'nanazana eri ama hu'ne.
6 abafakazele uthando lwakho phambi kwebandla; uzakwenza kuhle uba ubaphelekezela ngokufanele uNkulunkulu.
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.
7 Ngoba ngenxa yebizo lakhe baphumile bengemukeli lutho kwabezizwe.
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.
8 Ngakho thina sifanele ukubemukela abanjalo, ukuze sibe yizisebenzi kanye leqiniso.
Ana hu'negu, tagra e'inahu vahera zamaza hugahune, ana'ma hanuta tamage kemofo eri'zana magoka tragoteta erigahune.
9 Ngabhalela ibandla; kodwa uDiyotrefe othanda ukuba ngowokuqala kubo kasemukeli.
Nagra mono naga'motmarega mago avona ko kre rami'noanagi, Diotrefesi'a zamagritera agra avesite ugagota huzmantenaku nehunokino, tagrira tageno antahino osu'ne.
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.
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!
11 Sithandwa, ungakulingiseli okubi, kodwa okuhle. Owenza okuhle ungokaNkulunkulu; kodwa owenza okubi kambonanga uNkulunkulu.
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.
12 NgoDemetriyu kufakazwe yibo bonke, langeqiniso uqobo; lathi futhi siyafakaza, lani liyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bethu buqinisile.
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.
13 Bengilezinto ezinengi zokubhala, kodwa kangithandi ukukubhalela ngeyinki losiba;
Hakare avoma kreramisua nanekea me'neanagi, avo zotareti'ma krerami'zankura nagesa nontahue.
14 kodwa ngithemba ukukubona masinyane, sibe sesikhuluma umlomo ngomlomo. Ukuthula kakube kuwe. Abangane bayakubingelela. Bingelela abangane ngamabizo.
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.
