3 Sione 1

1 Ko e motuʻa ki he ʻofeina ko Keio, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻofa moʻoni ki ai;

Daga dattijon zuwa ga Gayus, wanda nake kauna da gaske.

2 ‌ʻE ʻofeina, ko e fungani ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou kolea, ke ke monūʻia, mo moʻui mālōlō, ʻo hangē pe ko e monūʻia ʻo ho laumālie.

Ya kaunatace na, ina addu'a domin ka samu albarka cikin kowanne al'amari, da kuma koshin lafiya, kamar yadda ruhun ka yake lafiya.

3 He ne u fiefia lahi, ʻi he haʻu ʻae kāinga, ʻo fakamoʻoni ki he moʻoni ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi he moʻoni.

Na yi farin ciki kwarai sa'adda wadansu 'yan'uwa suka zo suka ba da shaida a kan bangaskiyar ka, kamar yadda ka ke bin gaskiya.

4 ‌ʻOku ʻikai haʻaku fiefia ʻe lahi hake, ka ko ʻeku fanongo ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻeku fānau ʻi he moʻoni.

Ba abin da ya fi faranta mani rai kamar in ji yayana suna tafiya cikin gaskiya.

5 ‌ʻE ʻofeina, ʻoku ke fai angatotonu pe ʻaia ʻoku ke fai ki he ngaahi kāinga, mo e kakai muli;

Ya kaunatace na, kana aiki da aminci zuwa ga 'yan'uwa da baki,

6 Pea kuo nau fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe siasi ki hoʻo ʻofa: pea kapau te ke moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau fononga ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua, ko hoʻo fai lelei ia:

wadanda suka shaida kaunar ka a gaban ikilisiya. Zai yi kyau ka yi masu taimako da kyakkyawar salama, ta hanyar da ta dace da masu ibada,

7 He naʻe ʻalu atu ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko hono huafa, ʻo ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa mei he kakai Senitaile.

domin sabili da sunan nan ne suka fito, ba su kuma karbar kome a hannun al'ummai.

8 Ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ʻetau talia ʻae kakai pehē, ke tau hoko ko e kau tokoni ki he moʻoni.

Don haka ya kamata mu karbi irin wadannan mutane, domin mu zama abokan aiki tare da su a kan gaskiya.

9 Ne u tohi ki he siasi: ka ko Taiotifi ʻoku manako ke lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali ʻakinautolu.

Na rubuta wasika zuwa ga ikilisiya, amma Diyotariffis, wanda ya fi kowa son girma a cikinsu, bai karbe mu ba.

10 Ko ia, kapau te u ʻalu atu, te u manatu ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ne fai, ʻa ʻene palau kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi lea kovi: pea ʻi heʻene taʻefiu ai, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali ʻe ia ʻae kāinga, pea ʻoku ne taʻofi kiate kinautolu naʻe loto ki ai, ʻo ne kapusi [ʻakinautolu ]mei he siasi.

Saboda haka, idan na zo, zan tuna masa da irin ayukkan sa, da kuma yadda yake babbata sunayen mu a wurin jama'a da miyagun kalmomi. Wannan ma bai ishe shi ba, har ma yana kin karbar 'yan'uwa. Ya kuma hana wadanda suke son su yin hakan, harma ya kan kore su daga ikilisiya.

11 ‌ʻE ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa angimui ki ha kovi, ka ko ia pe ʻoku lelei. Ko ia ʻoku ne fai lelei, ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai kovi, kuo ʻikai mamata ia ki he ʻOtua,

Ya kaunatace na, kada ka yi koyi da mugun abu, sai dai abu mai kyau. Dukan wanda yake yin abu mai kyau na Allah ne; mai aikata mugunta kuma bai san Allah ba.

12 ‌ʻOku ongoongolelei ʻa Temetelio ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻi he moʻoni foki: ʻio, pea ʻoku mau fakamoʻoni foki; pea ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻemau fakamoʻoni.

Dimitiriyas yana da kyakkyawar shaida a gun kowa har a wurin gaskiyar da kanta. Mu ma mun shaida shi, ka kuma san shaidar mu gaskiya ce.

13 Kuo lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tohi atu ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai teu loto ke tohi kiate koe ʻaki ʻae vaitohi mo e peni:

Ina da abubuwa dayawa da zan rubuta maka, amma ban so in rubuta maka su da alkalami da tawada ba.

14 Ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ʻe vave ʻeku mamata kiate koe, pea te ta alea ʻo femamataʻaki. Ke ʻiate koe ʻae fiemālie. ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga kiate koe. Tala ʻae ʻofa ki he kāinga, ʻo huaʻaki [honau ] hingoa.

Ina sa zuciya mu sadu ba da dadewa ba, sa'annan mu yi magana ido da ido. Bari salama ta kasance tare da kai. Abokanmu suna gaishe ka, kuma ka isadda sakon gaisuwar mu ga sauran abokai da sunayen su.
