3 Yuhana 1
1 Ukune unan tardu nacara kutii kulau udu kitin nnang su nighe, ule na adi nan su me kidegene.
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Unan su ning, indin nlira uyita ucine nin linbun nanya nimung vat, nafo na kibinaai fe din libum.
Beloved, I pray for thee to prosper concerning all things, and to be healthy, just as thy soul prospers.
3 Bara na indin lanzu nmmang kang linwana nwadak idin belu kidegen fe, nafo na udin cinu nanya kidegene.
For I rejoiced exceedingly of brothers coming and testifying to the truth of thee, just as thou walk in truth.
4 Na indi na monn ayaaboo adiya ale naa akatin alele ba, in laza nono nighe din cinu nanya kidegene.
I have no greater joy than these things that I hear my children walking in truth.
5 Unang sunin, udin su katwa kachine kiti nwana nin na mara,
Beloved, thou do a faithful thing, whatever thou work for the brothers and for strangers,
6 alena ina ina yene nin nizi mine musun isufe nanya kiti kulau, uma caunu ntuu nanin mbung incine ucine kiti Kutelle,
who testified about thy love in sight of the congregation, whom thou will do well having helped send on their way worthily of God.
7 bara lisa loo na ina nuzu mung, na iyira imemung nenya na wurme.
For they went forth on behalf of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 Ucaun arik tiseru nanin nani bara tinang munu ate katwa udu kidegen.
We therefore ought to welcome such men, so that we might become fellow workmen for the truth.
9 Nndin yertu minu imemong udu ligozin nanit, bara nani Diotrasfes, ule na adinin su a suu unan burnu nanya minee, na awa seru nari ba.
I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first of them, did not accept us.
10 Bara nani, inwa dak ina lizinu imong ile na ana su, na awa belu imong inanzan nati bite nin tin tigbulaln tisirne. Tutun na nani mbatinghe ba na asere linwana ba, a wantina nin kuu nale na iwa di nin nibinai ye nnani nanya ligozin na nite.
Because of this, if I come, I will remember his works that he does, prating against us with evil words. And not being satisfied in these, he himself does not even accept the brothers, and he forbids those who would, and expels them out of the congregation.
11 Anansuning, na iwa masu imong inanzan ba masan icine ulena asu icine un Kutelleri, ule na adin su imong inanzan nasa yene Kutelleba.
Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. The man doing right is of God. The man doing wrong has not seen God.
12 Demetrus inan tii nizi ibaa vat nin kidegene litime. Arik wang ti yina nin ti nizi ibiye anung wang yiru uyenu bite kidegenere.
Demetrius has been testified by all, and by the truth itself. But we also testify, and ye know that our testimony is true.
13 Ndi nin nimung gbardan na mma yertinu udukitimine na inya in yertine nanya kubaga nin mmyen niyert ba.
I had many things to write, but I did not want to write to thee by pen and ink.
14 Ndin caa inyene mune nin nizi, tima nin liru tiyenje atii. Ayi ahau soo nan ghinu a dodndon din lisu minu, lison a dondonye nin tisa tisa mine.
But I hope to see thee straightaway, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
