3 John 1
1 The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:
Manipud iti panglakayen para iti patpatgek a Gayo, nga ay-ayatek ti kinapudno.
2 Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
Patpatgek, Ikarkararagko a sapay koma ta rumang-ayka kadagiti amin a banbanag ken nasayaat koma ti salun-atmo, kas iti panagrang-ay ti kararuam.
3 For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
Ta kasta unay ti ragsakko idi immay dagiti kakabsat a lallaki ken nagsaksida iti kinapudnom, kas iti pannagnam iti kinapudno.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Awanen ti dakdakkel pay a pagrag-oak ngem iti daytoy, ti manggegak a magmagna dagiti annakko iti kinapudno.
5 Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
Patpatgek, ipakpakitam ti kinamatalekmo tunggal agtrabtrabahoka para kadagiti kakabsatmo ken para kadagiti gangannaet,
6 They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
a nagsaksi iti kinamanagayatmo iti imatang ti iglesia. Inaramidmo iti umno iti panangparubwatmo kadakuada iti panagdalyasatda iti wagas a maikari iti Dios,
7 For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
gapu ta para iti Nagan ket rimmuarda, a saanda a dimmawat manipud kadagiti Hentil.
8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Rebbengtayo ngarud a pasangbayen ti kas kadagitoy, tapno agbalintayo met koma a pada nga agtrabtrabaho para iti kinapudno.
9 I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
Nagsuratak iti maysa a banag kadagiti taripnong, ngem ni Diotrefes, a kayatna nga isuna ti kangatuan kadakuada, ket saannakami nga awaten.
10 So if I come, I will call attention to his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.
Isu't gapuna a no umayak, lagipekto dagiti ar-aramid nga ar-aramidenna, ta agisawsawang isuna kadagiti awan serserbina a banbanag a maibusor kadatayo ket dakes dagiti sasawenna. Saan isuna a napnek kadagitoy nga ar-aramid, saanna pay nga awaten dagiti kakabsat. Paritanna dagidiay agtarigagay nga agaramid iti daytoy ken pappapanawenna ida iti taripnong.
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
Patpatgek, saanyo a tultuladen ti dakes nga aramid ngem aramidenyo ti naimbag. Ti agar-aramid iti naimbag ket iti Dios; ti agar-aramid iti dakes ket saanna a nakita ti Dios.
12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.
Saksaksian dagiti amin ni Demetrio ken saksaksian met isuna ti kinapudno. Saksaksianmi met isuna, ket ammom a pudno ti pammaneknekmi.
13 I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.
Adu pay dagiti banbanag a kayatko nga isurat kenka, ngem saanko a kayat nga isurat dagitoy babaen iti papel ken tinta.
14 Instead, I hope to see you soon and speak with you face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send you greetings. Greet each of our friends there by name.
Ngem namnamaek a makitaka iti mabiit, ken agsaritatanto iti rupan-rupa. Talna koma ti umadda kenka. Kablaawannaka dagiti gagayyem ditoy. Saggaysaem met a kablaawan dagiti gagayyem dita.
