3 Juan 1
1 Manipud iti panglakayen para iti patpatgek a Gayo, nga ay-ayatek ti kinapudno.
THE Elder, to my beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 Patpatgek, Ikarkararagko a sapay koma ta rumang-ayka kadagiti amin a banbanag ken nasayaat koma ti salun-atmo, kas iti panagrang-ay ti kararuam.
Our beloved; in all things, I pray for thee that thou mayest prosper and be in health, as thy soul doth prosper.
3 Ta kasta unay ti ragsakko idi immay dagiti kakabsat a lallaki ken nagsaksida iti kinapudnom, kas iti pannagnam iti kinapudno.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified concerning thy integrity, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 Awanen ti dakdakkel pay a pagrag-oak ngem iti daytoy, ti manggegak a magmagna dagiti annakko iti kinapudno.
And I have no greater joy, than to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Patpatgek, ipakpakitam ti kinamatalekmo tunggal agtrabtrabahoka para kadagiti kakabsatmo ken para kadagiti gangannaet,
Our beloved, thou doest in faith, what thou performest towards the brethren; and especially towards strangers,
6 a nagsaksi iti kinamanagayatmo iti imatang ti iglesia. Inaramidmo iti umno iti panangparubwatmo kadakuada iti panagdalyasatda iti wagas a maikari iti Dios,
who have borne testimony to thy charity before the whole church, to whom thou doest good, as is pleasing to God.
7 gapu ta para iti Nagan ket rimmuarda, a saanda a dimmawat manipud kadagiti Hentil.
For they went forth in behalf of his name, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 Rebbengtayo ngarud a pasangbayen ti kas kadagitoy, tapno agbalintayo met koma a pada nga agtrabtrabaho para iti kinapudno.
We therefore ought to receive such persons, that we may be aiders of the truth.
9 Nagsuratak iti maysa a banag kadagiti taripnong, ngem ni Diotrefes, a kayatna nga isuna ti kangatuan kadakuada, ket saannakami nga awaten.
I was desirous of writing to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost among them, Diotrephes, receiveth us not.
10 Isu't gapuna a no umayak, lagipekto dagiti ar-aramid nga ar-aramidenna, ta agisawsawang isuna kadagiti awan serserbina a banbanag a maibusor kadatayo ket dakes dagiti sasawenna. Saan isuna a napnek kadagitoy nga ar-aramid, saanna pay nga awaten dagiti kakabsat. Paritanna dagidiay agtarigagay nga agaramid iti daytoy ken pappapanawenna ida iti taripnong.
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.
11 Patpatgek, saanyo a tultuladen ti dakes nga aramid ngem aramidenyo ti naimbag. Ti agar-aramid iti naimbag ket iti Dios; ti agar-aramid iti dakes ket saanna a nakita ti Dios.
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.
12 Saksaksian dagiti amin ni Demetrio ken saksaksian met isuna ti kinapudno. Saksaksianmi met isuna, ket ammom a pudno ti pammaneknekmi.
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.
13 Adu pay dagiti banbanag a kayatko nga isurat kenka, ngem saanko a kayat nga isurat dagitoy babaen iti papel ken tinta.
I had many things to write to thee; but I will not write them to thee with ink and pen.
14 Ngem namnamaek a makitaka iti mabiit, ken agsaritatanto iti rupan-rupa. Talna koma ti umadda kenka. Kablaawannaka dagiti gagayyem ditoy. Saggaysaem met a kablaawan dagiti gagayyem dita.
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. ]
