3 John 1
1 The elder unto the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
Kwa mpindo Gayo ywanimpendi kwa yilu kweli.
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
Waupendilwe, nendo kulubya makowe gako gatama bwiso na payiga yako pabe kati mwoyo wako mwautama bwiso.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.
Kwakitumbu, pamwoyo wangu pabi telebu bai panibayilwa na alongo babaisi buka akwo no koya mulu mwaubile na kweli na mwauyendelya na ayo kweli.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Sakitelebwiye mwoyo wangu, pita makoye goti, yuwa panga, bana bhangu batama mu kweli
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatsoever you do to the brethren, and to strangers;
Waupendilwe, wendoyendelya aminika amo mwawapokya alongo na apita ndila.
6 Which have borne witness of your love (agape) before the church: whom if you bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, you shall do well:
Ngabo basimulya no kookeya mukanisa, amo ubile na amo wapenda bhandu. amo wasailiya bhandu, wendonogeya, waleka kwaku bhandu babayenda mu myanja ago nga makowe gampulaisa Nnungu.
7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
Buka na lina lako, baayi wangali kikowe buka kwa bhandu bangali kuntanga Nnungu.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow-helpers to the truth.
Tumbeleo tuaplikwa kwapokwa bandu kati-baa, linga tupange lyengo twayabe mwanza kweli.
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, receives us not.
Nauandiki umati likowe furaniila Diotrofe, jwa-alibile ywakwanja naine, hayakatyanali na twee.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, babbling against us with malicious words: (logos) and not content therewith, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and forbids them that would, and casts them out of the church.
Kwa-nyo, mananiisile nagakumbukya makowe gake nganga panga; mwalongela makowe gana nyata kutubalatyee. anagajeketyalili makowe ngakengene maa-na jwembe apokya kwa alongo. Hata kwa kanikia aine babapala kwapokya alongo babe, kwapalaganya papabille pamope.
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: but he that does evil has not seen God.
Bwigalyangu, kanaujige kinanyata, bolaujige kinanoga. jwa panga kinanoga jwa Nnungu, gapanga gananyata anammona-li Nnungu.
12 Demetrius has good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and all of you know that our record is true.
Demetrio naukweli wene aubweni na lyenga twamasaili, na-ngote ngatugalongela ga kweli.
13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto you:
Nibile na makowe gananchima gakukulogolya, nipendi-li kukuandikia kwa ikalamu ya wino.
14 But I trust I shall shortly see you, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. Our friends salute you. Greet the friends by name.
Balo masoba masene, twaisa bonagana nawe minyo kwa minyo. Amani ibe na wenga, bakupanga habali akinabwigalyo pakapanga abali mabwigalo kila mundu na lina lyake.
