3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Ugogolo hwa Gayo uyegene, ulugano lwa lyoli.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Wamwetu, elabha huje utabhale humambo gonti neshi umwoyo gwaho shagutabhala.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Nasungilwe tee panahumvwizye huje uhwendelela shinza bhambulile bhaala bhabhafumule huliwe.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Nalumo uluseshelo lwalushilile olu ahumvwe aje abhaana bhane bhahwendelela mulweteho.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Wamwetu ubhomba shinza nubhaavwa aholo na jenyu ajenyi,
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,
ebho bhafumizye uluguno lwaho hwi kanisa. Aje ubhomba shinza abhashulezye abhasafirizye shila shasungwa Ungulubhi.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Hunongwa yitawa, bhahendeleye nkahweje nkahamo hwa pagani(hwa Mataifa).
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Tihwanziwa huje tibhakaribisyaje abhantu neshi ebha nkatibhe bhabhomba mbombo nabho.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Nalisimbiye ikusanyiko(ubhungano) gwenyu ijambo limo lelo uDiotrefe, yasungwa abhe wahwandesiga hwitihananate.
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.
Nkanayenza naibhabhuula zyonti zyabhomba, sigahobhoha nembombo zyetu nantele abhakhana bhaala bhabhahwanza abhakaribisye aholo bhabhabhenga
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.
Awe usafwatizye embibhi ufwatizyaje enyinza, uyabhomba enyinza uyo muntu wa Ngulubhi; yabhomba embibhi sigaalolile Ungulubhi.
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 bhalolile bhinji, natebhayo tilolile ezi zyatizilolile zyelyoli.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Endinazyo nyinji ezyasimbe lelo siga ehwanza husimbile ne kalamu nuwino.
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.
Ehwanza aje enenze tilolane nkatiyanje nkatalolana humaso. Ulutengano lubhe nawe. Akundanu bhahulamuha. Shila muntu hwitawa lyakwe.
