3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Kei Angvai naw, Ka mhläkphyanak kcang Kajasa veia.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.
Ka püi aw, nang cun ngmüimkhya üng na hlimtuiki tia ka ksingki. Anaküt üng dawkyanak yah lü pumsa phyawngyainak am na kümcei vaia ka ning ktaiyü petki.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Ngthukcang üng aläa nami xüngseia mäih, ngthukcang üng hlimtui lü na sitiha mawng mi khritjanpüi he naw na mtheh law u se ka ngjak üng aktäa ka jekyaiki.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.
Ka canae ngthukcang üng ami hlimtui ka ngjak üng ka jekyaia kba, i naw pi am na jekyaisak khawh.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Ka mhlänaka ka püi aw, nang cun jumeikiea phäh khut na binak üng sitih lü khinea ami thawn üng pi na sitihki.
6 They have testified about your love before the church. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,
Na mhläkphyanaka mawng cun sangcima maa pyen päng ve u. Ami kdunglawngnak üng jah kpüikpak betü lü Pamhnam jekyaisakia khut na pawh vaia ning nghui na veng.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the non-believers.
Isenitiüng, amimi cun naw am jumeikie veia i pi käh doei lü, Khritawa khuta phäh cit hükie ni.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Acunakyase, ami khutbi cun mi jah bipüikiea a kyak vaia, mimi khritjane naw acuna khyange cun mi jah kpüikpak kawm u.
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.
Sangcima veia kca aktawia ka yuk law kyaw. Cunüngpi, ami mkhawng vai sü kyaw Tajawtajah naw ka pyen am na hnaläüei.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the church.
Acunakyase, ka lawa kcün üng, a pawh naküt: a hleihlake ja am dawkyakia a jah pyennake cun sangcima maa ka phyeh law be khai. Acun däk am ni, khritjane ami law üng am jah dodang. Jah dodang hlükie pi jah mah ham lü sangcim üngkhyüh jah ksät vaia ngtängki.
11 Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.
Ka mhlänak ka püi he aw, aksea thawnki käh mcukei ua, akdawa thawnki mcukei ua. Au pi akdaw pawhki cun Pamhnam üng sängeikie ni. Au pi akse pawhkie naw Pamhnam am ksing u.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
Khyang lum naw Dematarih dawki ami ti. Kami pyen cangki ti nami ksingnak vaia kami saksisihki ni.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Ka ning jah mtheh vai daki kyaw, Pawpen ja hmen üng am yuk hlü ngü.
14 but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Sängsäng se ning jah hmuh law vaia ka ngaiki. Acun üng mi püi hmu lü mi ngthuhei be kawm u. Acunüng, akhyang puma mi ngthuei law khaie. Dimdeihnak nami khana be se. Ka püi avan naw pi yai u se ami ti. Mi püi he avan ka jah hnuksetki.
