3 John 1
1 THE Elder, to my beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
Kei Angvai naw, Ka mhläkphyanak kcang Kajasa veia.
2 Our beloved; in all things, I pray for thee that thou mayest prosper and be in health, as thy soul doth prosper.
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 the brethren came and testified concerning thy integrity, even as thou walkest in the 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 And I have no greater joy, than to hear that my children walk in the truth.
Ka canae ngthukcang üng ami hlimtui ka ngjak üng ka jekyaia kba, i naw pi am na jekyaisak khawh.
5 Our beloved, thou doest in faith, what thou performest towards the brethren; and especially towards strangers,
Ka mhlänaka ka püi aw, nang cun jumeikiea phäh khut na binak üng sitih lü khinea ami thawn üng pi na sitihki.
6 who have borne testimony to thy charity before the whole church, to whom thou doest good, as is pleasing to 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 For they went forth in behalf of his name, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
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 persons, that we may be aiders of 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 was desirous of writing to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost among them, Diotrephes, receiveth us not.
Sangcima veia kca aktawia ka yuk law kyaw. Cunüngpi, ami mkhawng vai sü kyaw Tajawtajah naw ka pyen am na hnaläüei.
10 Therefore, if he come, remember those his doings, that he treated us with malignant words; and this not sufficing him, he received not the brethren; and those who would receive them, he prohibited, and even ejected them from 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 Our beloved, be not a follower of what is evil, but of what is good. He that doeth good, is of God; but he that doeth evil, hath not 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 Of Demetrius, there is good testimony from every one, and from the church, and from the truth itself: and we also bear him testimony, and ye 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 thee; but I will not write them to thee with ink and pen.
Ka ning jah mtheh vai daki kyaw, Pawpen ja hmen üng am yuk hlü ngü.
14 But I hope soon to see thee, and to converse mouth to mouth. [ (III John 1:15) Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends, severally, 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.
