3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Abwng lokv— Ngoogv jvjvrungbv paknam, ayanam Gaiusnyi.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Ngoogv ayanam ajin, noogv Dow lo alvdunv vla ngo chinam aingbv—ogumvnwng ngv alvminggv yilakv okv noogv adwnayak vka alv yilakv vla ngo kumdunv.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Noogv jvjvlo ribvdoobvnam aingbv—vdwlo kristan meego aadula okv no jvjvlo vdwgo jwkjwkvrwk la ridu vla nga minam am ngo achialvbv mvngputo.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Ngoogv umvuu vdwv jvjvlo ridudodu kv vnam am ngo tvvpanam si oguguka mvngpu yanvgo kaaku madu.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Ngoogv ayanam ajin, nonuno kvbi kristan ajin vdwgv lvgabv vdwlo bunu nyien bv rijeka kudungkua riji kolo nonu achialvbv jwkjwkvrwk bv ridu.
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,
Bunu gvrja lo nonugv paknam lvkwnglo japla ridu. Pwknvyarnvnyi mvnglwk koodubv bunugv mooying vngtung nga vngbv dubv bunua mvdurridur laka.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Vkvlvgavbolo mvngjwngmanv vdwgvlo oguka ridurnam kamabv Kristo gv kudungkua lvgabv bunu mooying vnglintoku.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Vbvrikunamv, ngonu kristan vdwv, sikvnv nyi vdw sum ridur tvka vbvribolo ngonu bunua jvjv gv lvgabv kudungkua nga ridur minggv lare.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Ngo gvrja lo siti takching achukgo lvkto; vbvritola Diotrepes, oogv rigvdubv mvngnv, vv ngo ogugo mimpvdw um tvvgap jima.
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.
Vbvrikunamv, vdwlo ngo aarekudw vkvgv ripvkunam ogumvnwng nga ngo aagv jireku: Busunam gaam si hv vdwgo ngonu lvkwnglo mimbvdw okv hv mvvla minku bvdw! vbvritola ninyi lvgabv vv mvngchik chima; ngonugv kristan ajin vdwv bunu aajvka umka laarwk simare, okv laarwk sinwngnv vdwaka bunua mintur yala ridu okv bunua gvrja lokv charlin yadubv gwngduku!
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.
Ngoogv ajin vdw, alvmanv nga kaagv la riyoka, vbvritola alvnvngv ogudw um kaagv la ritoka. Yvvdw alvnvbv ridunv vv Pwknvyarnv gvbv ridunv; Yvvdw alvmanv oguvdw um ridunv vv Pwknvyarnvnyi kaama dunv.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
Dementrius gv lvkwnglo nyi mvnwng ngv alvnvbv mindu; jvjvklv ngvka ninyia alvnvbv mindu. Okv ngonuka bvngtam minggv dunv, okv nonu chindu ngonu ogugo mindudw vv jvjvdu.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Ngo gvlo nonua achialvgo minsv ngv doodu, vbvrijvka ngo koolum okv sai lokv lvknya jilama.
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.
Nonua ngo baapubv kaarwk sinvpv mvngtin sidu, okv vbvrikubolo ngonuv doorwk sitola atuanying ngv japrwk sipa reku. Sarsopoyo ngv nonu gvlo dooming gvyilaka. Ngoogv ajin vdwv kumrwksinam am jilwkdu. Nonugv ajin mvnwng ngv kumrwksidu.
