3 John 1
1 I, a ruler in the church, send word to the well loved Gaius, for whom I have true love.
Upa renga han, Ko moroitak Gaius, ku lungkham tatakpu kôm,
2 My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.
Ka mal moroitak, ratha han na dam ti ki riet anghan, neinunngei murdi asadima a lônna taksa han na dam theina rangin ku chubai ngâi.
3 For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.
Khristien champuingei senkhat an juonga, taksônoma no omtit ngâi anghan, chongtaka iem no omtit tih min rila, ka râisân tatak ani.
4 I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way.
Ka nâingei chongtaka an om ti ki rieta ka râisân nêka râisânna lien uol reng dôn mu ung.
5 My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;
Ka mal moroitak, khuolmingei anni lâi khomin Khristien champuingei chunga taksônomtakin sin no tho ngâia.
6 Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:
Hi taka koiindangngei kôm khom nu lungkhamna chungroi an misîr zoi. An khuolchaina mozomtita Pathien a râisân theina rangin rangâihoitakin lei san ngei roh.
7 For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Khrista sinthoa an khuolchaina han iemloingei renga sanna lâk loiin an nin thok sikin.
8 So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.
Masikin eini Khristienngeiin, chongtaka sin an thona han ênchelsa theina rangin hi mingei hih ei san ngêt rang ani.
9 I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there.
Koiindang kôma lekhamuthuon bongte chu ki mizieka; aniatachu, an ruoipu chang nuom ngâipu Diotrephes han chu ko chong ite lunghâng tho noni.
10 So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.
Hanchu ku juong tika chu a sintho murdi lunghâng tho ka ta; kin chungroia neinun ichiruoingei a ti ngâi le milak a ril ngâi! Aniatachu maha khom ahunin la riet maka; ei Khristien champuingei an hong khomin mintung ngâi maka, mi mintung rang nuomngei khom a khap ngâi male koiindang renga rujûl pai ngei rang a pût ngâi!
11 My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.
Ka mal moroitak, asaloi jûi nônla, asa jûi roh. Tukhom asa sinpu ngei chu Pathien ta an nia; tukhom asaloi sinpu ngei chu Pathien la muloi an ni.
12 Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.
Demetrius hah mitinin asa an ti ngâia; chongtak han amananâkin asa a ti ngâi. Male keini khomin kin thurchi kin bôk sa, male khoimo kin ti hih adik ti ni riet.
13 I had much to say to you, but it is not my purpose to put it all down with ink and pen:
Chong tamtak nangni ril rang ko dôn, aniatachu maha pen le pentuiin no kôm miziek nuom mu ung.
14 But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face. May you have peace. Your friends here send you their love. Give my love to our friends by name.
Nang mu lai rang ka sabeia, hanchu intongin la chong rei. Rathângamin om roh. Na malngei nâmin chibai an hong muthuon. Ei malngei hah an misang zeta chibai mi mûk pe chit roh.
