3 John 1
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Nseya kwa Gayo mpenzi j'hanun'ganili mubhukweli.
2 Beloved, I pray for thee to prosper concerning all things, and to be healthy, just as thy soul prospers.
N'ganwa, nikuso'mela ufanikibhwayi mu mambo ghoha ni kuj'ha Ni afya j'honofu, Kama vile roho j'haku kyaj'hifanikibhwa.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly of brothers coming and testifying to the truth of thee, just as thou walk in truth.
Maana nahobhwiki sana bhwakati panabhalibhu ni bhalongo bhangu bhabhehidili ni kuh'omesya bhushuhuda juu j'ha bhukweli bhwaku, kama vile kyaghwil'ota mubhukweli.
4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear my children walking in truth.
Njedumu ni furaha zaidi j'ha e`j'he, kup'heleka kuj'ha bhana bhangu bhigenda mubhukweli.
5 Beloved, thou do a faithful thing, whatever thou work for the brothers and for strangers,
N'ganwa, j'heghilota nibhueminifu pawika bhahudumila bhalongobhangu. Na bhahesya.
6 who testified about thy love in sight of the congregation, whom thou will do well having helped send on their way worthily of God.
Ambabho bah'omisi bhushuhuda bhwa luganu bhwako palongola pa kanisa. Gwik'ete kinofu kubhasafirisha mu safwari syabho kwa namna ambaj'ho j'hikan'ganisya K'yara.
7 For they went forth on behalf of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Kwa ndabha j'ha lihina bhalotili bila kutola khenu kyokyoha k'hela kuh'oma kwa bhenu bha mataifa.
8 We therefore ought to welcome such men, so that we might become fellow workmen for the truth.
Henu twilondeka kubhakaribisya bhanu kama abha ili tuj'helayi bhabhomba mbombo bhaj'henu kwa ndabha j'ha bhukweli.
9 I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first of them, did not accept us.
Nalij'handikili likusanyiku lijambo fulani, lakini Diotrofe, j'hapeganili kuj'ha ghwa kabhwandelu mugati mwabhene, ikakubaliana lepi ni tete.
10 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.
Henu, Kama nibetakuj'ha kuhida nibetakuj'ha kughak'homboka matendu ghake ghaibhomba, jinsi kyaijabha malobhi mabaya kinyume natu. Andhiki lepi ni matendo agha, muene akabhayambelela lepi bhalongo munu. hata ikabhabesya bhangi ambabho bhinoghela kubhakaribisya abhu bhalonngo bhinu ni kubhabhenga bhah'omeyi mu likusanyiku.
11 Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. The man doing right is of God. The man doing wrong has not seen God.
Mpenzi ukatakuj'hesya kyakij'hele kibhibhi, Bali j'hesiaghe byabij'hele kinofu. Muene j'haibhomba manofu night K'yara; nimuene j'haibhomba mabhibhi ambwedumu K'yara.
12 Demetrius has been testified by all, and by the truth itself. But we also testify, and ye know that our testimony is true.
Demotrio ashuhudibhu nibhoha nibhukweli bhene. Tete pia tuj'he mashahindi, na mmanyili kuj'ha bhushuhuda bhitu bhwa bhwikweli.
13 I had many things to write, but I did not want to write to thee by pen and ink.
Njenaghu mambo mingi gha kukulembela, lakini nilondalepi kukulembela kwa kalamu ni bhwino.
14 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.
Bali nitarajila kutubhona karibuni apa, na twibetakumbona kulongela naghwe pamihu kwa pamihu. Amani ij'helayi pamonga naghwe. Bhamanyani bhikuponesya. Bhaponesiayi bhamanyani kila mmonga kwa lihina lyake.
