3 John 1
1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
Den Ældste til Kajus, den elskede, hvem jeg elsker i Sandhed.
2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
Du elskede! jeg ønsker, at det i alle Ting må gå dig vel, og du må være karsk, ligesom det går din Sjæl vel.
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.
Thi jeg blev meget glad, da der kom Brødre og vidnede om Sandheden i dig, hvorledes du vandrer i Sandheden.
4 Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.
Jeg har ingen større Glæde end denne, at jeg hører, at mine Børn vandre i Sandheden.
5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,
Du elskede! en trofast Gerning gør du i alt, hvad du virker for Brødrene, og det for femmede,
6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
hvilke have vidnet for Menigheden om din Kærlighed; og du vil gøre vel i at fremme deres Rejse således, som det er Gud værdigt.
7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)
Thi for Navnets Skyld ere de dragne ud, uden at tage noget at Hedningerne.
8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
Derfor ere vi skyldige at tage os af sådanne, for at vi kunne blive Medarbejdere for Sandheden.
9 I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
Jeg har skrevet noget til Menigheden; men Diotrefes, som gerne vil være den ypperste iblandt dem, anerkender os ikke.
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.
Derfor vil jeg, når jeg kommer erindre om de Gerninger, han gør, idet han bagvasker os med onde Ord; og ikke tilfreds dermed, tager han både selv ikke Brødrene for gode, og dem, som ville det, forhindrer han deri og udstøder dem af Menigheden.
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.
Du elskede! efterfølg ikke det onde, men det gode. Den, som gør godt, er af Gud; den, som gør ondt, har ikke set Gud.
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 har et godt Vidnesbyrd af alle og af Sandheden selv; også vi vidne, og du ved, at vort Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
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*)
Jeg havde meget at skrive til dig, men jeg vil ikke skrive til dig med Blæk og Pen.
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.
Men jeg håber snart at se dig, og da skulle vi mundtligt tale sammen. Fred være med dig! Vennerne hilse dig. Hils Vennerne, hver især!
