< 3 John 1 >

1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Nseya kwa Gayo mpenzi j'hanun'ganili mubhukweli.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your 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 greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you 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 this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Njedumu ni furaha zaidi j'ha e`j'he, kup'heleka kuj'ha bhana bhangu bhigenda mubhukweli.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
N'ganwa, j'heghilota nibhueminifu pawika bhahudumila bhalongobhangu. Na bhahesya.
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,
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 because for the sake of the Name they went out, 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 receive such, that we may be fellow workers 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 assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Nalij'handikili likusanyiku lijambo fulani, lakini Diotrofe, j'hapeganili kuj'ha ghwa kabhwandelu mugati mwabhene, ikakubaliana lepi ni tete.
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.
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, 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.
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 the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you 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 to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Njenaghu mambo mingi gha kukulembela, lakini nilondalepi kukulembela kwa kalamu ni bhwino.
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.
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.
