3 Jawhan 1
1 Kacue e kai ni lungpataw e Gaius koe ca na patawn. Ahni teh kai ni lawkkatang dawk ka lungpataw e doeh.
The elder, to Gaius, the beloved, whom I love in the truth.
2 Ka lungpataw e ka hui, na lungthin ni hawinae a coe e patetlah bangpueng dawk hawinae na coe teh, tak ka dam lah na o thai nahan ka ratoum.
Beloved, I pray, that with respect to all things, you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
3 Lawkkatang dawk na hring teh nang dawk kaawm e lawkkatang hah hmaunawnghanaw ni a tho awh teh a kampangkhai awh navah, ka lung hroung ahawipoung.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came, and bore witness to your truth, even as you walk in truth.
4 Ka canaw ni lawkkatang dawk a hring awh tie ka thai nah, lunghawinae ka tawn e hlak lunghawinae alouke ka tawn hoeh.
I have no greater joy than that which I have when I hear my children are walking in truth.
5 Ka lungpataw e ka hui, nang teh hmaunawnghanaw koe hai, imyin koe hai, sakyoe kawi kaawm e pueng hah lung kacaklah na sak.
Beloved, you do faithfully what you perform for the brethren, and for the strangers.
6 Ahnimouh ni nange lungpatawnae kong hah kawhmoun hmalah a kampangkhai awh. Ahnimanaw hah Cathut ngainae dawk bout na hrawi pawiteh hnokahawi hah na sak toe.
These have borne testimony to your love, in the presence of the congregation; whom, if you help forward on their journey, in a manner worthy of God, you will do well.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa min kecu dawk Jentelnaw koehoi kabawpnae dâw laipalah a cei awh.
Because for his name's sake, they went forth, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
8 Maimouh teh lawkkatang kampangkhai e lah o awh nahan, hot patet e taminaw hah kabawp awh teh khetyawt hanlah a kamcu.
We, therefore, ought to entertain such, that we may be joint laborers in the truth.
9 Kawhmoun koe ca ka thut teh ka patawn toe. Hatei, kacue lah o ka ngai e Diotrefes niteh kaimouh hanelah tho paaw hoeh.
I wrote to the congregation: but Diotrephes, who affects a pre-eminence among them, does not receive us.
10 Hatdawkvah, ka tho torei teh ama ni a sak e ama ni a kâpanue thai nahanlah ka toun han. Ahni ni lairoe laihoi na pathoe awh dueng laipalah hmaunawnghanaw hai dawn hoeh, dawn hanelah ka ngai e taminaw hai a cakâ teh, kawhmoun thung hoi ouk a pâlei.
For this cause, when I come, I will bring his deeds to remembrance, which he practices--prating against us with malicious words; and, not content with this, he does not himself receive the brethren, and forbids them who would, and casts them out of the congregation.
11 Ka lungpataw e ka hui, hno kahawihoehnaw hah out hanh. Kahawinaw ma hah out. Kahawi e nuen hoi ka hring e tami teh Cathut e lah ao. Kahawihoeh e nuen hoi ka hring e tami teh Cathut panuek hoeh, hmawt hai hmawt hoeh.
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good, is of God; but he who does evil, has not seen God.
12 Tami pueng teh Demetrias e kapanuekkhaikung kahawi ao awh. Lawkkatang haiyah ahni kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Kaimouh haiyah ahni kapanuekkhaikung lah ka o awh van. Kaimouh ni ka panuekhai awh e teh atang doeh titeh nangmouh ni na panue awh.
Testimony is borne to Demetrius, by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear testimony; and you know that our testimony is true.
13 Nangmouh koe thut hane moi ao rah ei, cacung hoi cahang hoi thut hanelah ka ngainae awm hoeh.
I have many things to write; but I do not incline to write them to you with pen and ink:
14 Palang kâhmo roi pawiteh buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kâpan han telah ngaihawi hoi ka o. Nang koe roumnae awmseh. Huikonaw nihai kut na man awh. Nang koe kaawm e huikonaw e min pâpho nateh, ahnimae kut man pouh lah a.
for I hope immediately to see you, and so we shall speak face to face. Salute the friends by name.
