1Mimi mzee nakuandikia wewe Gayo, rafiki yangu, ninayekupenda kweli.
1Nintz'îbac âcuiq'uin, at hermano Gayo. Lâin aj c'amol be châcuu sa' lâ pâbâl. Relic chi yâl nak nacatinra.
2Mpenzi wangu, nakutakia mafanikio mema ya kila aina; nakutakia afya njema ya mwili kama ulivyo nayo rohoni.
2At inhermân, yôquin chi tijoc châcuix re nak us tat-êlk riq'uin chixjunil li c'a'ru tâbânu. Ut nintijoc ajcui' châcuix re nak cauhakat. Ninnau nak tîc lâ ch'ôl chiru li Dios.
3Nimefurahi sana ndugu kadhaa walipofika hapa, wakaiambia juu ya uaminifu wako kuhusu ukweli; naam, wewe unaishi daima katika ukweli.
3C'ajo' nak nasaho' sa' inch'ôl nak neque'c'ulun li hermân cuiq'uin ut nacuabi resil nak tîc âch'ôl. Ut ninnau nak yôcat chixbânunquil lix yâlal.
4Hakuna kitu kinachonifurahisha zaidi kuliko kusikia kwamba watoto wangu wanaishi katika ukweli.
4A'an a'in li k'axal nasaho' cui' inch'ôl nak nacuabi resil nak eb li kahermân cuanqueb sa' xyâlal. Eb a'an chanchaneb li cualal inc'ajol xban nak que'pâban chicuu.
5Mpenzi wangu, wewe ni mwaminifu kila mara unapowahudumia ndugu, hata kama ni wageni.
5At inhermân, k'axal lok' li nacabânu nak nacatenk'aheb li hermân, usta inc'a' nacanauheb ru.
6Ndugu hao wamelieleza kanisa hapa habari za upendo wako. Tafadhali uwasaidie waendelee na safari yao kwa namna itakayompendeza Mungu,
6Eb a'an que'xch'olob xyâlal arin chiruheb li hermân chanru nak nacaraheb. Chatenk'aheb chi châbil jo' naraj li Dios nak te'xic chixyebal râtin li Dios sa' jalan na'ajej.
7Maana wanaanza safari yao katika utumishi wa Kristo bila kupokea msaada wowote kutoka kwa watu wasioamini.
7Eb a'an xe'oc chi xic xban nak te'raj xbânunquil xc'anjel li Jesucristo. Ut inc'a' que'xc'ul xk'ajcâmunquileb chiruheb li mâji' neque'xpâb li Dios.
8Basi, sisi tunapaswa kuwasaidia watu hawa, ili nasi tupate kushiriki katika kazi yao kwa ajili ya ukweli.
8Jo'can nak tento takatenk'aheb li cuînk a'in xban nak kech aj c'anjeleb chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal.
9Niliandika barua fupi kwa hilo kanisa; lakini Diotrefe, ambaye hupenda kuwa kiongozi wao, hataki kabisa kunisikiliza.
9Cuan c'a'ru xintz'îba sa' li hu li xintakla riq'uineb laj pâbanel aran. Abanan li hermân Diótrefes, a'an naxnimobresi rib ut inc'a' naxc'ul xch'ôl li c'a'ru xintz'îba. Naraj taklânc sa' êyânk ut inc'a' naxq'ue incuanquil.
10Basi, nitakapokuja nitayafichua mambo yote anayofanya, maneno mabaya anayotutolea na uongo anaosema juu yetu. Isitoshe, yeye hukataa kuwakaribisha hao ndugu walio safarini, na hata huwazuia watu wengine wanaotaka kuwakaribisha, na hujaribu kuwafukuzia nje ya kanisa.
10Nak tinxic aran toxink'us ut chêru chêjunilex tinye li c'a'ru yô chixbânunquil. Yô chixyebal c'a'ak re ru chi âtinul chikix. Ut moco nac'ojla ta xch'ôl riq'uin a'an. Toj cuan cui'chic c'a'ak re ru inc'a' us naxbânu. Inc'a' naxc'uleb li hermân sa' li rochoch ut naxic chixtacchi'inquileb li hermân li neque'raj raj xc'ulbal li ula', ut narisiheb sa' xyânkeb laj pâbanel cui neque'xc'ul li rula'eb.
11Mpenzi wangu, usifuate mfano mbaya, bali mfano mwema. Kila atendaye mema ni wa Mungu; lakini anayetenda mabaya hajapata kumwona Mungu.
11At inhermân, mâtzol âcuib riq'uin li inc'a' us. A' ban li us tâbânu. Li ani nabânun re li us, a'an ralal xc'ajol li Dios. Ut li ani naxbânu li inc'a' us, toj mâji' naxpâb li Dios.
12Kila mtu anamsifu Demetrio; naam, ukweli wenyewe unamsifu. Nasi pia tunatoa ushahidi wetu juu yake, nawe wajua kwamba tunachosema ni kweli.
12Chixjunileb neque'xye nak châbil li hermân Demetrio. Ut relic chi yâl nak lix yu'am nac'utuc re lix châbilal. Jo'can ajcui' nakaye lâo. Ut lâat nacanau nak li nakaye lâo a'an yâl.
13Ninayo bado mengi ya kukwambia, lakini sipendi kuyaandika kwa kalamu na wino.
13Cuan raj nabal chic tinye âcue, abanan inc'a' nacuaj xtz'îbanquil sa' li hu a'in.Yôquin chixc'oxlanquil nak chi sêb takil kib re nak târûk takâtina kib.

14Natumaini kukuona karibuni na hapo tutazungumza ana kwa ana. (G1-15) Nakutakia amani. Rafiki zako wanakusalimu. Wasalimu rafiki zetu wote kila mmoja binafsi.
14Yôquin chixc'oxlanquil nak chi sêb takil kib re nak târûk takâtina kib. Chicuânk taxak li tuktûquil usilal âcuiq'uin. Eb li hermân arin neque'xtakla xsahil âch'ôl. Ut chaq'ue ajcui' xsahil xch'ôleb li kech aj pâbanelil chi xjunjûnkaleb.
