3 John 1
1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
A ham loh thintlo Kaiyu te ka yaak sak. Anih he kai loh oltak neh ka lungnah.
2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
Thintlo aw, na hinglu loh a hoeikhang vanbangla, a cungkuem dongah nang hoeikhang sak ham neh sading sak ham ka thangthui.
3 I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, even as you yourself in truth are walking.
Oltak dongah na pongthoh vanbangla, manuca aka pawk rhoek loh oltak ah na om te khaw a phong uh dongah bahoeng ka omngaih.
4 Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.
Ka ca rhoek te oltak dongah pongpa uh tila ka yaak vaengah, hekah lakah a lenngai omngaihnah ka khueh moenih.
5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,
Thintlo aw, manuca rhoek neh olpuei la yinlai rhoek ham na saii te khaw uepom la saii.
6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
Amih loh hlangboel hmaiah nang kah lungnah a phong uh. Pathen neh a tingtawk la amih thak ham te a then la saii.
7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)
Boeipa ming ham cet uh dae namtom rhoek taengkah a bawn uh moenih.
8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
Mamih loh tebang te doo ham a kuek tangloeng. Te daengah ni oltak dongah bibipuei la n'om uh eh.
9 I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
Hlangboel ham bet ka daek dae amih ah aka tanglue Diotrephi loh mamih n'doe moenih.
10 Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing he forbids and from the church he casts [them] out.
Te dongah, ka pawk atah, anih kah a saii khoboe te ka thoelh ni. Mamih te rhaithae olka m'pup thil. He nen khaw a rhaemhal kolla manuca rhoek te a doe moenih. Te phoeiah doe ham aka cai rhoek te a paa sak dongah hlangboel lamkah a thaek.
11 Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil but what [is] good. The [one] doing good of God is; the [one] (now *k*) doing evil not has seen God.
Thintlo rhoek, a thae te awt boel lamtah a then te awtuh. Aka then tah Pathen kah la om. Aka thae loh Pathen te a hmuh moenih.
12 To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N(k)O*) that the testimony of us true is.
Demetrius te a cungkuem neh oltak amah lamloh a phong coeng. Te dongah mamih khaw m'phong uh. Te vaengah mamih kah laipainah tah oltak ni tila na ming uh.
13 Many things I had (to write *N(k)O*) (to you, *no*) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N(k)O*)
Nang taengah daek ham muep ka khueh dae nang ham cahang neh cacung neh daek ham ka ngaih moenih.
14 I hope however soon you to see and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace to you. Greet you the friends. do greet the friends by name.
Tedae nangmih te tlek hmuh ham ka ngaiuep. Te vaengah ka neh ka rhoi te n'thui bitni. Nang taengah ngaimongnah om seh. Paya rhoek loh nang toidal uh. Paya rhoek te a ming neh toidal lah.
