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 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 that all may go well with you and that you may be healthy, just as it is well with your soul.

3 Bara na indin lanzu nmmang kang linwana nwadak idin belu kidegen fe, nafo na udin cinu nanya kidegene.

For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and bore witness to your truth, just as you 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 this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.

5 Unang sunin, udin su katwa kachine kiti nwana nin na mara,

Beloved, you practice faithfulness whenever you 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 have borne witness of your love in the presence of the church. You do well to send them off on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

7 bara lisa loo na ina nuzu mung, na iyira imemung nenya na wurme.

because it was for the sake of the name that they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

8 Ucaun arik tiseru nanin nani bara tinang munu ate katwa udu kidegen.

We therefore should welcome such as these, so that we will be fellow workers 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 something to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not receive 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.

So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. Not satisfied with that, he not only refused to welcome the brothers himself, but he also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

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 what is evil but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil 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 is borne witness to by all and by the truth itself. We also bear witness, and you 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 to you, but I do not wish to write them to you with 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 expect to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. May peace be with you. The friends greet you. Greet our friends there by name.
