3 Joan 1
1 ANCIANOAC Gayo maite nic eguiazqui on daritzadanari.
The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth!
2 Maiteá, desiratzen diat gauça gucietan prospera deçán, eta sendo aicén, hire arimá prospero den beçala.
Beloved, I desire you to prosper concerning all things, and to be in health, even as your soul prospers,
3 Ecen alegueratu içan nauc haguitz ethorri içan diradenean anayeac eta testificatu vkan dutenean hire integritateaz, nola integroqui ebilten baitaiz.
for I rejoiced exceedingly, brothers coming and testifying of the truth in you, even as you walk in truth;
4 Haur baino bozcario handiagoric eztiát, cein baita, ençuten dudanean ene haourrac integroqui dabiltzala.
I have no joy greater than these things, that I may hear of my children walking in truth.
5 Maiteá, fidelqui eguiten duc cer-ere eguiten baituc anayetara eta estrangeretara.
Beloved, you act faithfully in whatever you may do toward the brothers and the one [among] strangers,
6 Ceinéc testificatu vkan baituté hire charitateaz Eliçaren presentián: hec baldin guida baditzac Iaincoari dagocan beçala, vngui daidiquec.
who testified of your love before an assembly, whom you will do well, having sent forward worthily of God,
7 Ecen haren icenagatic partitu içan dituc, deus hartzen etzutela Gentiletaric.
because they went forth for [His] Name, receiving nothing from the nations;
8 Guc beraz behar citiagu recebitu halacoac, eguiá aiuta deçagunçát.
we, then, ought to receive such, that we may become fellow-workers to the truth.
9 Scribatu diarocát Eliçari: baina hayén artean lehen içan aiher denac, Diotrephesec ezguiaitic recebitzen.
I wrote to the assembly, but he who is loving to be first among them—Diotrephes—does not receive us;
10 Halacotz, baldin ethor banadi aippaturen citiat harc eguiten dituen obrác, elhe gaichtoz dadassala gure contra: eta hauçaz ez contentez, eztitic berac anayeac recebitzen, eta recebitu nahi dituztenac empatchatzen citic eta Eliçatic egoizten.
because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he does, talking nonsense against us with evil words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and he forbids those intending [to receive them], and he casts [them] out of the assembly.
11 Maiteá, ezteçála imita gaitza, baina ona: vngui eguiten duena, Iaincoaganic duc: baina gaizqui eguiten duenac eztic ikussi Iaincoa.
Beloved, do not be following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, he is of God, [but] he who is doing evil has not seen God;
12 Demetrioz guciéc testificatzen dié, eta eguiac berac-ere: baina guc-ere testificatzen diagu, eta eçagutu vkan duçue ecen gure testificationea eguiazco dela.
testimony has been given to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself, and we also—we testify, and you have known that our testimony is true.
13 Banián anhitz gauça scribatzecoric, baina eztrauát tintaz eta hegatsez scribatu nahi.
Many things I had to write, but I do not wish to write to you through ink and pen,
14 Baina sperança diát sarri ikussiren audala, eta ahoz aho minçaturen garela. Baquea dela hirequin. Salutatzen auté adisquidéc. Salutaitzac adisquideac icenguilatuqui.
and I hope to see you soon, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to you! The friends greet you. Be greeting the friends by name.
