3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Umughogholo, kwa gayo umughane, unonimughani le nhu vwakyang`ani.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Mughanike, nikukusumulia ukagule ku iisi sooni kange nha kuuti uve nhu mbiili unofu, ndavule vule inhumbula jako vule jikagulike.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Ulwakuva nikahovwike kyoongo unsiki yenivulilue nikahovwike kyoongo unsiki yenivulilue nha vanyalukolo vanovakisile kange nakuhumia uvwolesi nhu vwakyang`ani vwako, ndavule vule ghuluta mu vwakyang`ani.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Nilivuvule ulukelo uluvaha kyoongo mu ulu, kupulika kuuti avana vango vighenda muvwakyang`ani.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Mughanike, ghuuta mu vwitike panoghukavavombela avanyalukolo nha vahesia.
6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
Vano vahumisie uvwa lughano lwako pavulongolo palukong`ano. Ghuvombia vunofu pikuvaghendesia mulughendo luvanave ku siila jino jimunoghile u Nguluve.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Ulwakuva vwimila vwa, valyalutile nambe kutoola ikinu kimongo kuhuma muvaanhu ava mufisina.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Pauluo, tunoghile kukuvupila avaanhu ndavule ava, ulwakutive vavomba mbombo vanofu vwimila kyang`ani.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Nikalilembiile ilipugha ilisio ilio, looli u Diotrofe, juno ilonela kuuti ave ghwa kwasia muvamo muvanave naikwiting`ana nusue.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
Pauluo, nave nikwisa nikusikumbuka imbombo sa mweene sino ikusivomba, ndavule pannoijova nhi mbombo iisi umweene jujuo naikuvupila avanyalukolo. Kange ikuvaka na avange vanovinoghelua pikuvupila avanyalukolo avuo napikuvadagha vahuume mulipugha.
11 Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
Mughane, nungeghaghe kino kivivi, looli ighagha kino kinofu. Umweene juno ivomba vunofu ghwe ghwa Nguluve; kange nhumweene junoivomba amavivi namwaghile u Nguluve.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
U Demetrio avolelilue kange vooni nuvwakyang`ani vuvuo. Najusue kange tulivolesi, kange ghukagula kuuti uvwolesi vwiitu vwakyang`ani.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Nilinagho minga aghakukulembela, looli nanilonda pikukulembela nhi kalamu ija n`kala nambe nhi kalamu ija vwiino.
14 but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Looli nihuvila kukuvona anala pipi, kange tujovagha nune maaso na maaso. U lutengano luve palikimo nuve. Amanyani vikukuhungila. Vahungilaghe avamanyani umunhu ghweeni nhilitavua lya mweene.
