3 John 1
1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
Mukuru, kuna Gayo anodikanwa, wandinoda ini pachokwadi.
2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
Mudikanwi, ndinonyengetera pazvinhu zvese kuti ubudirire, uye ugwinye, semweya wako uchibudirira.
3 I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, even as you yourself in truth are walking.
Nokuti ndakafara zvikuru, hama padzakasvika ndokupupurira chokwadi chako, sezvaunofamba iwe muchokwadi.
4 Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK+O) that I may hear of my children in (the *no) truth walking.
Handina mufaro unopfuura izvi, kuti ndinzwe vana vangu vachifamba muchokwadi.
5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k) (that [thing] *N+kO) strangers,
Mudikanwi, unoita nekutendeka zvese zvaunobata kuhama nekuvaeni,
6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
vakapupurira rudo rwako pamberi pekereke; uchaita zvakanaka kana ukavaperekedza zvakafanira Mwari.
7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N+kO)
Nokuti nekuda kwezita rake vakabuda vasingagamuchiri chinhu kuvahedheni.
8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N+kO) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
Naizvozvo isu tinofanira kugamuchira vakadaro, kuti tigova vanobatsirana pachokwadi.
9 I have written (something *no) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
Ndakanyorera kereke; asi Dhiotirefesi, anoda kuva wekutanga pakati pavo asingatigamuchiri.
10 Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing he forbids and from the church he casts [them] out.
Naizvozvo, kana ndichiuya, ndicharangarira mabasa ake aanoita, achitiitira makuhwa nemashoko akaipa; uye asingagutsikani neizvozvo, kunyange iye amene haagamuchiri hama, uye anovadzivisa vanoda, nekudzinga mukereke.
11 Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil but what [is] good. The [one] doing good of God is; the [one] (now *k) doing evil not has seen God.
Mudikanwi, usatevera chakaipa, asi chakanaka. Anoita chakanaka ndeanobva kuna Mwari; asi anoita zvakaipa, haana kuona Mwari.
12 To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N+kO) that the testimony of us true is.
Dhemetrio anopupurirwa zvakanaka nevese, uye nechokwadi pachacho; nesuwo tinopupura, nemwi munoziva kuti kupupura kwedu ndekwechokwadi.
13 Many things I had (to write *N+kO) (to you, *no) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N+kO)
Ndakange ndine zvizhinji zvekunyora, asi handidi kukunyorera neingi nepeni;
14 I hope however soon you to see and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace to you. Greet you the friends. do greet the friends by name.
asi ndinovimba kukurumidza kukuona, titauriranewo muromo nemuromo. Rugare kwauri. Vadikanwi vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa vadikanwi nezita.
