3 John 1
1 [You(sg) know me as] the [chief] Elder. [I am writing this letter to you], my dear friend Gaius, whom I truly love.
| پْراچِینو ہَں سَتْیَمَتادْ یَسْمِنْ پْرِییے تَں پْرِیَتَمَں گایَں پْرَتِ پَتْرَں لِکھامِ۔ |
2 Dear friend, I ask [God that things may go] well for you in every way, [specifically], that you will be physically healthy just like you are spiritually healthy [MTY].
| ہے پْرِیَ، تَواتْما یادرِکْ شُبھانْوِتَسْتادرِکْ سَرْوَّوِشَیے تَوَ شُبھَں سْواسْتھْیَنْچَ بھُویاتْ۔ |
3 I am very happy because some fellow believers have come [here] and told me that you conduct your life in a manner [that is consistent with God’s] true message.
| بھْراترِبھِراگَتْیَ تَوَ سَتْیَمَتَسْیارْتھَتَسْتْوَں کِیدرِکْ سَتْیَمَتَماچَرَسْییتَسْیَ ساکْشْیے دَتّے مَمَ مَہانَنْدو جاتَح۔ |
4 I am very happy when I hear that (people whom I helped to believe in Christ/my [spiritual] children) are conducting their lives like you are!
| مَمَ سَنْتاناح سَتْیَمَتَماچَرَنْتِیتِوارْتّاتو مَمَ یَ آنَنْدو جایَتے تَتو مَہَتَّرو ناسْتِ۔ |
5 Dear friend, you are [serving Jesus] loyally/faithfully whenever you do things to help fellow believers, [even those whom you] do not know, who are traveling [around doing God’s work].
| ہے پْرِیَ، بھْراترِنْ پْرَتِ وِشیشَتَسْتانْ وِدیشِنو بھرِترِنْ پْرَتِ تْوَیا یَدْیَتْ کرِتَں تَتْ سَرْوَّں وِشْواسِنو یوگْیَں۔ |
6 [Some of] them have reported before the congregation [here how] you have showed that you love them. You should continue to help such people in their travels in a way that is pleasing to God.
| تے چَ سَمِتیح ساکْشاتْ تَوَ پْرَمْنَح پْرَمانَں دَتَّوَنْتَح، اَپَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَیوگْیَرُوپینَ تانْ پْرَسْتھاپَیَتا تْوَیا سَتْکَرْمَّ کارِشْیَتے۔ |
7 When those fellow believers went out [to tell people about Jesus] [MTY], the people who do not believe in Christ did not give them anything [to help them].
| یَتَسْتے تَسْیَ نامْنا یاتْراں وِدھایَ بھِنَّجاتِیییبھْیَح کِمَپِ نَ گرِہِیتَوَنْتَح۔ |
8 So we [who believe in Christ] ought to give food and money to such people to help [them as they teach others God’s] true message.
| تَسْمادْ وَیَں یَتْ سَتْیَمَتَسْیَ سَہایا بھَویمَ تَدَرْتھَمیتادرِشا لوکا اَسْمابھِرَنُگْرَہِیتَوْیاح۔ |
9 I wrote [a letter] to the congregation [telling them to help those fellow believers]. However, Diotrephes does not (acknowledge my authority/[pay any attention to what] I wrote), because he (desires to be in charge/wants to be the leader) of [the congregation].
| سَمِتِں پْرَتْیَہَں پَتْرَں لِکھِتَوانْ کِنْتُ تیشاں مَدھْیے یو دِیَتْرِپھِح پْرَدھانایَتے سو سْمانْ نَ گرِہْلاتِ۔ |
10 So, when I arrive [there], I will [publicly] tell what he does: He tells others evil nonsense about us [in order to] harm [us by what he] says, and he is not content with only doing that. He himself refuses to receive the fellow believers who are traveling around doing God’s work, and he also stops those who want to receive them by expelling them from the congregation.
| اَتو ہَں یَدوپَسْتھاسْیامِ تَدا تینَ یَدْیَتْ کْرِیَتے تَتْ سَرْوَّں تَں سْمارَیِشْیامِ، یَتَح سَ دُرْوّاکْیَیرَسْمانْ اَپَوَدَتِ، تیناپِ ترِپْتِں نَ گَتْوا سْوَیَمَپِ بھْراترِنْ نانُگرِہْلاتِ یے چانُگْرَہِیتُمِچّھَنْتِ تانْ سَمِتِتو پِ بَہِشْکَروتِ۔ |
11 Dear friend, do not imitate a bad [example like that]. Instead, [keep imitating] good [examples. Remember that] people who do good deeds ([truly] belong to God/are [spiritual children] of God), [but] those who do [what is] evil do not (know/have fellowship with) God.
| ہے پْرِیَ، تْوَیا دُشْکَرْمَّ نانُکْرِیَتاں کِنْتُ سَتْکَرْمَّیوَ۔ یَح سَتْکَرْمّاچارِی سَ اِیشْوَراتْ جاتَح، یو دُشْکَرْمّاچارِی سَ اِیشْوَرَں نَ درِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
12 All [the believers who know Demetrius] say that he [is a good person]. The fact [that he conducts his life in a way that is consistent/in accordance with God’s] true [message] shows [that he is a good person], and we also say the same thing [about him]. You know that what we say [about him] is true. [So it will be good if you welcome him and help him. He is the one who will be bringing this letter to you].
| دِیمِیتْرِیَسْیَ پَکْشے سَرْوَّیح ساکْشْیَمْ اَدایِ وِشیشَتَح سَتْیَمَتیناپِ، وَیَمَپِ تَتْپَکْشے ساکْشْیَں دَدْمَح، اَسْماکَنْچَ ساکْشْیَں سَتْیَمیویتِ یُویَں جانِیتھَ۔ |
13 [When I began] to write this letter, I had much more [that I intended] to tell you. But [now] I do not want to say [it] in a letter [MTY].
| تْواں پْرَتِ مَیا بَہُونِ لیکھِتَوْیانِ کِنْتُ مَسِیلیکھَنِیبھْیاں لیکھِتُں نیچّھامِ۔ |
14 Instead, I expect to [come and] see you soon. Then we will talk directly with one another. [I pray that God will enable] you [to experience inner] peace. Our friends [here] (send you their greetings/say that they are thinking affectionately about you) [MTY]. Tell our friends [there] that we (send our greetings to/are thinking fondly about) them.
| اَچِرینَ تْواں دْرَکْشْیامِیتِ مَمَ پْرَتْیاشاسْتے تَداواں سَمُّکھِیبھُویَ پَرَسْپَرَں سَمْبھاشِشْیاوَہے۔ تَوَ شانْتِ رْبھُویاتْ۔ اَسْماکَں مِتْرانِ تْواں نَمَسْکارَں جْناپَیَنْتِ تْوَمَپْییکَیکَسْیَ نامَ پْروچْیَ مِتْریبھْیو نَمَسْکُرُ۔ اِتِ۔ |
