3 Johani 1
1 Mukuru, kuna Gayo anodikanwa, wandinoda ini pachokwadi.
Mbaha, Gayo ne gane, Yuve nehuganile mu yelweli.
2 Mudikanwi, ndinonyengetera pazvinhu zvese kuti ubudirire, uye ugwinye, semweya wako uchibudirira.
Vegane nihohodovela usayiwe hu fifufyoni nu huwa nkafu pa mbele, ndu enumbula yaho umuyisayiwa.
3 Nokuti ndakafara zvikuru, hama padzakasvika ndokupupurira chokwadi chako, sezvaunofamba iwe muchokwadi.
Na hovwihe vavile vambolile ava likolo vavo vahinchile nu huhumia elimenyu lya lweli yaho, ndu umovugendela mu lweli.
4 Handina mufaro unopfuura izvi, kuti ndinzwe vana vangu vachifamba muchokwadi.
Nelevovole uluhekelo uluvaha ululutelile, uhupulika uhuta avana vanu vigenda muyelweli.
5 Mudikanwi, unoita nekutendeka zvese zvaunobata kuhama nekuvaeni,
Vegane yuwe vugenda mu yelweli uhuvatanga avalokolo na avagenji.
6 vakapupurira rudo rwako pamberi pekereke; uchaita zvakanaka kana ukavaperekedza zvakafanira Mwari.
Vavo vahominche uvaye lweli nu ulugano lwaho pampelela. Vuvomba vononu uhuvatanga mu njila ncha vene nu uhong'ovosya u Nguluve.
7 Nokuti nekuda kwezita rake vakabuda vasingagamuchiri chinhu kuvahedheni.
Ulwahova ndi tawa valutile hetagega ehenu hyohyoni uhuhuma hu vanuavakilunga.
8 Naizvozvo isu tinofanira kugamuchira vakadaro, kuti tigova vanobatsirana pachokwadi.
Pu, tunogiwa uhuvambelela avanu ndava, pu tuve vavomba mbombo vaniie va yelweli.
9 Ndakanyorera kereke; asi Dhiotirefesi, anoda kuva wekutanga pakati pavo asingatigamuchiri.
Navasimbile avalulundamano elimenyu, ulwahuva Diotrofe uveinogwa uhuva mbulongolo huvanine, sihwedehane nufwe.
10 Naizvozvo, kana ndichiuya, ndicharangarira mabasa ake aanoita, achitiitira makuhwa nemashoko akaipa; uye asingagutsikani neizvozvo, kunyange iye amene haagamuchiri hama, uye anovadzivisa vanoda, nekudzinga mukereke.
Nenginche, nikumbuhaga imbombo incha mwene incho ihonchivomba, umu inchova amamenyu amavivi gaga sa getu. Sedehine ni mbombo inchi, umwene sihovupilila avalokolo. Ihovabencha avange vavo vinogwa uhuvumpelela avalokolo nu huwaswema vahome mu lulundamano.
11 Mudikanwi, usatevera chakaipa, asi chakanaka. Anoita chakanaka ndeanobva kuna Mwari; asi anoita zvakaipa, haana kuona Mwari.
Vegane, usite uhwegela ifivivi, egelaga ifinya vononu. umwene yuywa ivomba amanonu iva va Nguruve nu uve ivomba amavivi iva sambwene u Nguruve.
12 Dhemetrio anopupurirwa zvakanaka nevese, uye nechokwadi pachacho; nesuwo tinopupura, nemwi munoziva kuti kupupura kwedu ndekwechokwadi.
Demetrio avonike na vanu voni na yelweli, na yofwe tulevatangeli, uhumanyile uhuta amamenyu getu ga yelweli.
13 Ndakange ndine zvizhinji zvekunyora, asi handidi kukunyorera neingi nepeni;
Nelenago amamenyu mingi agahuhusimbila, leno saninogwa uhuhusimbile ne simbelo.
14 asi ndinovimba kukurumidza kukuona, titauriranewo muromo nemuromo. Rugare kwauri. Vadikanwi vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa vadikanwi nezita.
Ninogwa uhwagana muve lenoleno, pu ya twinchovana. Uluhungu luve nuve, avamanyani vihoho ponia, vaponiage avamanyani yomoyomo hulitawa lya mwene
