3 Johan 1
1 A ham loh thintlo Kaiyu te ka yaak sak. Anih he kai loh oltak neh ka lungnah.
The Elder vnto the beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth.
2 Thintlo aw, na hinglu loh a hoeikhang vanbangla, a cungkuem dongah nang hoeikhang sak ham neh sading sak ham ka thangthui.
Beloued, I wish chiefly that thou prosperedst and faredst well as thy soule prospereth.
3 Oltak dongah na pongthoh vanbangla, manuca aka pawk rhoek loh oltak ah na om te khaw a phong uh dongah bahoeng ka omngaih.
For I reioyced greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in the trueth.
4 Ka ca rhoek te oltak dongah pongpa uh tila ka yaak vaengah, hekah lakah a lenngai omngaihnah ka khueh moenih.
I haue no greater ioy then these, that is, to heare that my sonnes walke in veritie.
5 Thintlo aw, manuca rhoek neh olpuei la yinlai rhoek ham na saii te khaw uepom la saii.
Beloued, thou doest faithfully, whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
6 Amih loh hlangboel hmaiah nang kah lungnah a phong uh. Pathen neh a tingtawk la amih thak ham te a then la saii.
Which bare witnesse of thy loue before the Churches. Whom if thou bringest on their iourney as it beseemeth according to God, thou shalt doe well,
7 Boeipa ming ham cet uh dae namtom rhoek taengkah a bawn uh moenih.
Because that for his Names sake they went forth, and tooke nothing of the Gentiles.
8 Mamih loh tebang te doo ham a kuek tangloeng. Te daengah ni oltak dongah bibipuei la n'om uh eh.
We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be helpers to the trueth.
9 Hlangboel ham bet ka daek dae amih ah aka tanglue Diotrephi loh mamih n'doe moenih.
I wrote vnto the Church: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not.
10 Te dongah, ka pawk atah, anih kah a saii khoboe te ka thoelh ni. Mamih te rhaithae olka m'pup thil. He nen khaw a rhaemhal kolla manuca rhoek te a doe moenih. Te phoeiah doe ham aka cai rhoek te a paa sak dongah hlangboel lamkah a thaek.
Wherefore if I come, I will call to your remembrance his deedes which he doeth, pratling against vs with malicious wordes, and not therewith content, neither he himselfe receiueth the brethren, but forbiddeth them that woulde, and thrusteth them out of the Church.
11 Thintlo rhoek, a thae te awt boel lamtah a then te awtuh. Aka then tah Pathen kah la om. Aka thae loh Pathen te a hmuh moenih.
Beloued, follow not that which is euill, but that which is good: he that doeth well, is of God: but he that doeth euill, hath not seene God.
12 Demetrius te a cungkuem neh oltak amah lamloh a phong coeng. Te dongah mamih khaw m'phong uh. Te vaengah mamih kah laipainah tah oltak ni tila na ming uh.
Demetrius hath good report of al men, and of the trueth it selfe: yea, and wee our selues beare recorde, and ye know that our record is true.
13 Nang taengah daek ham muep ka khueh dae nang ham cahang neh cacung neh daek ham ka ngaih moenih.
I haue many things to write: but I will not with yncke and pen write vnto thee:
14 Tedae nangmih te tlek hmuh ham ka ngaiuep. Te vaengah ka neh ka rhoi te n'thui bitni. Nang taengah ngaimongnah om seh. Paya rhoek loh nang toidal uh. Paya rhoek te a ming neh toidal lah.
For I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Greete the friends by name.
