3 Yohana 1 (Swahili) 3rd John 1 (English)

Mzee, kwa Gayo mpenzi, nimpendaye katika kweli. 3 Yohana 1:1

The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

Mpenzi naomba ufanikiwe katika mambo yote na kuwa na afya yako, kama vile roho yako ifanikiwavyo. 3 Yohana 1:2

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.

Maana nalifurahi mno walipokuja ndugu na kuishuhudia kweli yako, kama uendavyo katika kweli. 3 Yohana 1:3

For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.

Sina furaha iliyo kuu kuliko hii, kusikia ya kwamba watoto wangu wanakwenda katika kweli. 3 Yohana 1:4

I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.

Mpenzi, kazi ile ni ya uaminifu uwatendeayo hao ndugu na hao wageni nao, 3 Yohana 1:5

Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.

waliokushuhudia upendo wako mbele ya kanisa; utafanya vizuri ukiwasafirisha kama ipasavyo kwa Mungu. 3 Yohana 1:6

They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

Kwa maana, kwa ajili ya Jina hilo, walitoka, wasipokee kitu kwa Mataifa. 3 Yohana 1:7

because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

Basi imetupasa sisi kuwakaribisha watu kama hao, ili tuwe watenda kazi pamoja na kweli. 3 Yohana 1:8

We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

Naliliandikia kanisa neno, lakini Diotrefe, apendaye kuwa wa kwanza kati yao, hatukubali. 3 Yohana 1:9

I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn't accept what we say.

Kwa hiyo, nikija, nitayakumbuka matendo yake atendayo, atoavyo upuzi juu yetu kwa maneno maovu; wala hatoshwi na hayo, ila yeye mwenyewe hawakaribishi hao ndugu, na wale watakao kuwakaribisha, huwazuia, na kuwatoa katika kanisa. 3 Yohana 1:10

Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.

Mpenzi, usiuige ubaya, bali uige wema. Yeye atendaye mema ni wa Mungu, bali yeye atendaye mabaya hakumwona Mungu. 3 Yohana 1:11

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.

Demetrio ameshuhudiwa na watu wote, tena na ile kweli yenyewe. Nasi pia twashuhudia, nawe wajua ya kwamba ushuhuda wetu ni kweli. 3 Yohana 1:12

Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.

Nalikuwa na mambo mengi ya kukuandikia, lakini sipendi kukuandikia kwa wino na kalamu. 3 Yohana 1:13

I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;

Lakini nataraji kukuona karibu, nasi tutasema uso kwa uso. 3 Yohana 1:14

but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
