3 Yone 1
1 Na, Asigilai Dunu da di, Ga: iyase, na dogolegei na: iyado, dima meloa dedesa.
This letter comes from the elder to Gaius, my dear friend, whom I love in the truth.
2 Na dogolegei na: iyado! Dia a: silibu hou da hahawane amola gasa bagade, amo na dawa: Dia da: i hodo da amo defele esaloma: ne amola di da hahawane esaloma: ne, na Godema sia: ne gadosa.
My friend, I pray most of all that you're doing well and are in good physical health, for I know you're doing well spiritually.
3 Di da dafawane hou amo ganodini eso huluane esalalala. Ninia Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu eno da dia dafawane hou eso huluane mae yolesili hamonana, amo nama adomusa: misiba: le, na da hahawane bagade ba: i.
I was delighted when some fellow-believers arrived and told me about your commitment to the truth, and how you continue living in the truth.
4 Na da na mano ilia dafawane dawa: su hou amo ganodini lala, amo nababeba: le, baligili hahawane naba.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear how my dear friends are following the truth.
5 Na dogolegei na: iyado! Dia da dia Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu ili mae yolesili fidilalebeba: le, na da nodosa. Dia musa: hame ba: i Gelesu dunu amola bagade fidisu.
My friend, you show you are trustworthy in what you're doing by looking after the brothers, even those you don't know.
6 Amo dunu da dia asigi hou amo nini Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu guiguda: esala, ilima olelei. Amo dunu ilia bu logoga ahoasea, ilia da Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne masunu da defea. Amaiba: le, dia ili bu fidima: ne na da dima edegesa.
They have spoken well about your love in front of the church. Please be so kind as to send them on their journey in a way that God would appreciate,
7 Bai ilia Gelesu Ea hawa: hamomusa: gini asi. Ilia Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui dunu ilia fidisu hame lai.
for they are traveling in his name, not accepting anything from non-believers.
8 Amaiba: le, ninia Yesu Ea hou lalegagui dunu da amo dunu ilia dafawane sia: olelebe hawa: hamosu fidimu amola gilisili hamomu da defea.
We ought to support them so we can share together in the truth.
9 Na da dia Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi ilima meloa fonobahadi dedene i. Be Daiodalifisi da hi hanaiba: le hina hou hamomusa: dawa: lalebeba: le, e da na sia: nabimu higasa.
I did write about this to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves being in charge, refuses to accept our authority.
10 Na da dilima masea, na da hi hou hamoi amo dilima olelemu. Ea da ninia hou wadela: sa amola nini hou olelesea bagadewane ogogosa. Be amo hou baligili, e da Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dilima manebeba: le, ilima hame yosia: sa. Amola nowa dunu da ilima yosia: musa: dawa: sea, Daiodalifisi da amo dunu ilia fidisu logo hedofasa amola ilia Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi amoga gadili sefasimusa: dawa: lala.
So if I do visit, I will make it clear what he's been doing. He's been making malicious accusations against us. Not satisfied with doing that, he refuses to welcome any other brothers. He won't let anyone else welcome them either, and throws those who do so out of the church.
11 Na dogolegei na: iyado! Wadela: i hou amoma mae fa: no bobogele, dia hou moloidafa amoma fa: no bobogema. Nowa da hou moloidafa hamosea da Godema madelagi dagoi. Be nowa da wadela: i hou hamosa da Gode hame dawa:
My friend, don't imitate what is evil, but what is good. Those who do what's good belong to God; those who do evil don't know God.
12 Dunu huluane da Dimidaliase ea hou dawa: beba: le, nodosa. E da dafawane hou hamonanebeba: le, hou moloidafa hamosu dunu ba: sa. Ninia amola, ea hou dawa: beba: le nodosa. Ninia sia: da dafawane, di dawa:
Everyone speaks well of Demetrius—and the truth does so too! We also speak well of him, and you know we tell the truth.
13 Na da dima sia: mu bagade gala, be na da amo sia: meloaga dedemu higasa.
I have so much to say to you, but I don't want to do it in writing with pen and ink.
14 Na da dima hedolowane misini, dia odagia sia: mu hanai gala. Na da olofosu dima dialoma: ne dawa: lala. Dia na: iyado dunu huluane da ilia asigi sia: dima adosisa. Dia ninia na: iyado huluane amoma ninia asigidafa sia: adosima. Sia: Ama Dagoi
I hope to see you soon so we can talk face to face. May peace be with you! The friends here send their greetings to you. Please personally greet our friends there by name.
