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 the truth:

2 Unan su ning, indin nlira uyita ucine nin linbun nanya nimung vat, nafo na kibinaai fe din libum.

Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.

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

For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.

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 to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

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

Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.

6 alena ina ina yene nin nizi mine musun isufe nanya kiti kulau, uma caunu ntuu nanin mbung incine ucine kiti Kutelle,

They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

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

For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

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

Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may 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 have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.

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 his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting 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 has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, 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 have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so 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.

Instead, I hope to see you soon and speak with you face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send you greetings. Greet each of our friends there by name.
