3 Juan 1
1 Manipud iti panglakayen para iti patpatgek a Gayo, nga ay-ayatek ti kinapudno.
The elder, unto Gaius the beloved, whom, I, love in 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.
Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
3 Ta kasta unay ti ragsakko idi immay dagiti kakabsat a lallaki ken nagsaksida iti kinapudnom, kas iti pannagnam iti kinapudno.
For I rejoiced exceedingly, at brethren coming and bearing witness unto thy truth, —even as, thou, in truth, art walking.
4 Awanen ti dakdakkel pay a pagrag-oak ngem iti daytoy, ti manggegak a magmagna dagiti annakko iti kinapudno.
I have no, greater, favour than these things, that I should be hearing that, my own children, in the truth, are walking.
5 Patpatgek, ipakpakitam ti kinamatalekmo tunggal agtrabtrabahoka para kadagiti kakabsatmo ken para kadagiti gangannaet,
Beloved! a faithful thing, art thou doing, whatsoever thou shalt accomplish for them that are brethren, and withal 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 witness to thy love before the assembly: whom thou wilt do, nobly, to set forward worthily of God.
7 gapu ta para iti Nagan ket rimmuarda, a saanda a dimmawat manipud kadagiti Hentil.
For, in behalf of The Name, have they gone forth, taking, nothing, from them of the nations.
8 Rebbengtayo ngarud a pasangbayen ti kas kadagitoy, tapno agbalintayo met koma a pada nga agtrabtrabaho para iti kinapudno.
We, therefore ought to be sustaining such as these, that we may become, fellowworkers, with 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 wrote something unto the assembly; but, he who is fond of taking the first place among them—Diotrephes, doth not make us welcome.
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.
For this cause, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he is doing, —with wicked words, prating against us; and, not content with these, he neither, himself, maketh the brethren welcome, but, them who are minded [to do it], he forbiddeth, and, out of the assembly, doth cast [them].
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.
Beloved! be not thou imitating what is bad, but what is good. He that doeth good, is, of God: he that doeth what is bad, 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.
Unto Demetrius, hath witness been borne by all and by the truth itself; howbeit, we also, bear witness, and thou knowest that, our witness, is, true.
13 Adu pay dagiti banbanag a kayatko nga isurat kenka, ngem saanko a kayat nga isurat dagitoy babaen iti papel ken tinta.
Many things, had I to write unto thee, —but I am unwilling, with ink and pen, to be writing;
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.
I hope, however, straightway, to see thee, and, mouth to mouth, will we talk. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
