3 John 1
1 Hiche lekhathot hi upa John a kon ahi. Keiman kagol ngaitah, Gaius, thutah'a kangailut henga kajih ahi.
The elder unto the well beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 Deitah, nangma lhagaova nahat banga chu tahsa a jong nadam thei ding hi imalam jousea naphatpet ahiding kaginchat ahi.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 Tumasang jep'a thuhila pang kholjin phabep hung kileho chun tahsan naumna le thutah'a hinkho naman thudol chu eiseipeh uvin, eikipasah lheh uve.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 Keiman kachaten thutah ajuiyu thudol kajah'a kipana sanga lenjo adang kanei theipoi.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
5 Golngaitah, nangman nahetlou mi ahivanguva thuhila pang kholjin vahle ho nagel khohna hin, Pathena tahsan umtah nahi ti aphongdoh in ahi.
Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
6 Amaho chun hikoma houbung jah a ngailutna neiya nanabolna thu chu aseiyuvin ahi. Hiti chun Pathen lunglhai sahnan hitobang thuhil ho ding chun thilgot pehna neijom teijin.
Which have borne witness of thy charity before the assembly: whom if thou bring forward on their journey worthily of Elohim, thou shalt do well:
7 Ajeh chu amaho Pakai jal'a kholjin lea ahiuvin, chuti chun amahon tahsan neilouho koma imacha lalou ahiuve.
Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 Hijeh chun eima ho tah in amaho hi ikithopiu ngai ahi, hitia chu amahon thutah thu ahilnauva amaho tohkhompi ihitheina dingu ahije.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
9 Keiman houbung henga hiche thudol hi kajih in, hinlah Diotrephes, lamkai hinomna neipahin, keiho toh imacha a chan eineikhompi nompouve.
I wrote unto the assembly: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
10 Keima kahung teng ama thilbol phabep le keiho dounaa athuseiya eimosonau thuphalou aseiya aboldoh ho kaphondoh ding ahi. Aman kholjin vahle thuhil ho alhunsahlou bou hilouvin, amaho kithopina jeng jong pehlou dingin aseiye. Chule amaho chun akikhop nauva, aman amaho chu houbunga konin anodoh in ahi.
Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the assembly.
11 Golngaitah, hichepa vettoh thei ahilou hin nangma nalung lutsah hih hen. Aphabou chu juiyin. Thilphabol ho chun Pathen chate ahiu aphotchennau ahin, chule thilsebol ho chun Pathen ahet lou u ahi ti Thutah'in hettoh sahna aneibouvin ahi.
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of YHWH: but he that doeth evil hath not seen YHWH.
12 Amitakip in Demetrius aseiphauvin ahi. Eimaho tah in hitima chu ama chung chang thu iseitheiyu ahi, chule keihon thutah kaseiyu nanghon naheuve.
Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
13 Keiman seibe ding tampi kaneiye, hinlah keiman hichu lekhathot'ah kahin sei nom poi.
I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
14 Ajeh chu nangma toh kimaitoa kimuto vahding kakinemin ahi. Chuphat leh kimaitoa ikihoulim ding ahi. Cham-lungmonna in umpiuvin. Hiche muna nagol hon chibai nahin peuve: Keima tah in chibai kahin bolna hi chuche muna umho henga achang cheh'un seipeh'un.
But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
