3 Yohana 1
1 Ugogolo hwa Gayo uyegene, ulugano lwa lyoli.
THE presbyter unto Gaios my beloved, whom I love in truth.
2 Wamwetu, elabha huje utabhale humambo gonti neshi umwoyo gwaho shagutabhala.
Our beloved, in all things I pray for thee, that thou mayest prosper and be healthful, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 Nasungilwe tee panahumvwizye huje uhwendelela shinza bhambulile bhaala bhabhafumule huliwe.
For I have rejoiced greatly when the brethren have come, and have testified concerning thy integrity, even as in the truth thou walkest.
4 Nalumo uluseshelo lwalushilile olu ahumvwe aje abhaana bhane bhahwendelela mulweteho.
And greater joy than this I have not (than) when I hear that my sons walk in the truth.
5 Wamwetu ubhomba shinza nubhaavwa aholo na jenyu ajenyi,
Our beloved, in faithfulness thou performest what thou doest unto the brethren, and especially to those who are strangers,
6 ebho bhafumizye uluguno lwaho hwi kanisa. Aje ubhomba shinza abhashulezye abhasafirizye shila shasungwa Ungulubhi.
who have testified of thy charity, before all the church, to whom thou hast done well according to that which is worthy of Aloha.
7 Hunongwa yitawa, bhahendeleye nkahweje nkahamo hwa pagani(hwa Mataifa).
For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 Tihwanziwa huje tibhakaribisyaje abhantu neshi ebha nkatibhe bhabhomba mbombo nabho.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be helpers of the truth.
9 Nalisimbiye ikusanyiko(ubhungano) gwenyu ijambo limo lelo uDiotrefe, yasungwa abhe wahwandesiga hwitihananate.
I would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost of you, Diotrapas, receiveth us not.
10 Nkanayenza naibhabhuula zyonti zyabhomba, sigahobhoha nembombo zyetu nantele abhakhana bhaala bhabhahwanza abhakaribisye aholo bhabhabhenga
On account of this, if I come, I will remember the works which he doeth, who words of evil maketh concerning us; and these not satisfying him, he hath not received the brethren, and those who receive he forbiddeth, and also expelleth from the church.
11 Awe usafwatizye embibhi ufwatizyaje enyinza, uyabhomba enyinza uyo muntu wa Ngulubhi; yabhomba embibhi sigaalolile Ungulubhi.
Our beloved, be not imitative of the evil, but of the good. He who doeth good is of Aloha, and he who doeth evil hath not seen Aloha.
12 U Demetrio bhalolile bhinji, natebhayo tilolile ezi zyatizilolile zyelyoli.
Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.
13 Endinazyo nyinji ezyasimbe lelo siga ehwanza husimbile ne kalamu nuwino.
I have many things which I would write to thee, but I will not with ink and reed write to thee.
14 Ehwanza aje enenze tilolane nkatiyanje nkatalolana humaso. Ulutengano lubhe nawe. Akundanu bhahulamuha. Shila muntu hwitawa lyakwe.
But I hope that soon I shall see thee, and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace be with thee. The friends ask thy peace. Ask the peace of the friends each by his name.
