3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Mihak phokhoh taangnawa— Ngah ih nga mongnook Gaius amiimiisak minchan hang asuh raanghang.
2 Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.
Nga mongnook joonwah, ngah ih rangsoom hang, an damdoh ese toom ang ah eno sakse hanme toomtong uh ngeh ah—mamah liidih ngah ih ejat ehala an chiiala lam ni ese.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth.
Kristaan mina thok rum haano baat rum tahang an amiisak tiit asuh kamkam eh tuungmaanglu—saarookwe amiisak ni kamkam ih tonglu ah chaat angno ngah rapne roonlang.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
Tim chaat ang di uh emah than tah thaak roonkang, ngaasuh ngaasah amiisak ni tongla chaat angno roonlang thanthan ah.
5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,
Nga mongnook joonwah, neng loong wenwah ang rum abah uh Kristaan loong raangtaan ih molu ah rapne tuungmaang theng reelu.
6 who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.
Neng ih chaas mina loong asuh an minchan tiit ah baat rumha. Neng lakhoom raangtaan ih nong sokboi we an, erah doba Rangte tenroon thuktheng adoh khoom rum ah.
7 For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.
Mamah liidih neng loong ah Kristo mootkaat raangtaan ih ejen dokchap erumta, neng ih lah hanpiite loong taangnawa huinong hui suh tah jam rumka.
8 We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
Seng Kristaan loong ah juuba neng loong ah chosok theng jaatjaat, enooba amiisak mootkaat raangtaan ih seng nong kattheng ang ah.
9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.
Ngah ih ethoosah chaas raangtaan ih le raanghang; enoothong neng lamsiitte likhiik angla Diotrephes rah ih, arah jenglang asuh hethung hetak nak toom koh ah.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those that would he forbiddeth, and casteth them out of the church.
Ngah maatok doh wang hang, erah doh heh ih timjih reeta erah baat wanhang: Marah echoh theng baat tahe nyia eleek tiit baat tahe erah loong ah! Enoothong heh suh erah tah changka ang ah; heh ih Kristaan loong heh ih tah banpoon rumka ang ah, erah damdi marah mina ih Kristaan mina banpoon suh taat liiha suh uh heh ih etangpang erum ah, eno neng loong ah chaas nawa edok phanhaat esuh thun rum ah!
11 Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Nga mongnook joonte, ethih ah nak nyoot uh, enoothong marah ese ah erah nyoot uh. Ngo ih ese re ah erah Rangte mina; ngo ih ethih reela erah ih Rangte ah tup muh.
12 To Demetrius testimony hath been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and ye know that our witness is true.
Thoontang ih Demetrius ese li rumha; amiisak tiitkhaap rah ih heh tiit ah naririh ih baat ha. Eno erah seng roidong tiitkhaap tim baat hi eradi wakbaat hi, an ih ejat ehu seng ih tim baat hi erah amiisak kabaat ih.
13 I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;
Ngah ih sen suh baat theng hantek je ah, enoothong roong nyi leeraang nawa ih raang suh tah thunghaan kang.
14 but I hope to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Nga tuungmaang eje ang lang sen damdoh elaang ih chomui suh ah, eno erah doh seng pupuh damdoh chomui ino ma roongwaan ih. Semroongroong ah sen damdoh toom angha. Sen joonte loong ih jengse raajeng halan. Seng joonte loong ih waru waru ih jengse raajeng halan.
