3 John 1
1 The elder, unto Gaius the beloved, whom, I, love in truth.
Старец Гаиеви возлюбленному, егоже аз люблю воистинну.
2 Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
Возлюбленне, во всех молюся (о тебе) благоспеятися тебе и здравствовати, якоже благоспеется тебе душа.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly, at brethren coming and bearing witness unto thy truth, —even as, thou, in truth, art walking.
Возрадовахся зело, пришедшым братиям и свидетельствующым твою истину, якоже ты во истине ходиши.
4 I have no, greater, favour than these things, that I should be hearing that, my own children, in the truth, are walking.
Болши сея не имам радости, да слышу моя чада во истине ходяща.
5 Beloved! a faithful thing, art thou doing, whatsoever thou shalt accomplish for them that are brethren, and withal strangers, —
Возлюбленне, верно твориши, еже аще делаеши в братию и в странныя,
6 Who have borne witness to thy love before the assembly: whom thou wilt do, nobly, to set forward worthily of God.
иже свидетельствоваша о твоей любви пред церковию. Ихже предпослав достойно Богу, добре твориши.
7 For, in behalf of The Name, have they gone forth, taking, nothing, from them of the nations.
О имени бо Его изыдоша, ничтоже приемлюще от язык.
8 We, therefore ought to be sustaining such as these, that we may become, fellowworkers, with the truth.
Мы убо должни есмы приимати таковых, да поспешницы будем истине.
9 I wrote something unto the assembly; but, he who is fond of taking the first place among them—Diotrephes, doth not make us welcome.
Писах церкви: но первенстволюбец их Диотреф не приемлет нас.
10 For this cause, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he is doing, —with wicked words, prating against us; and, not content with these, he neither, himself, maketh the brethren welcome, but, them who are minded [to do it], he forbiddeth, and, out of the assembly, doth cast [them].
Сего ради, аще прииду, воспомяну его дела, яже творит, словесы лукавыми укоряя нас: и недоволен бывая о сих, ни сам приемлет братию, и хотящым возбраняет, и от церкве изгонит.
11 Beloved! be not thou imitating what is bad, but what is good. He that doeth good, is, of God: he that doeth what is bad, hath not seen God.
Возлюбленне, не уподобляися злому, но благому. Благотворяй от Бога есть: а злотворяй не виде Бога.
12 Unto Demetrius, hath witness been borne by all and by the truth itself; howbeit, we also, bear witness, and thou knowest that, our witness, is, true.
Димитриеви свидетельствовася от всех и от самыя истины: и мы же свидетельствуем, и весте, яко свидетельство наше истинно есть.
13 Many things, had I to write unto thee, —but I am unwilling, with ink and pen, to be writing;
Многа имех писати, но не хощу чернилом и тростию писати тебе,
14 I hope, however, straightway, to see thee, and, mouth to mouth, will we talk. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
уповаю же абие видети тя и усты ко устом глаголати. Мир тебе. Целуют тя друзи: целуй други по имени. Аминь.
