Iohannis Iii 1
1 Senior Gajo carissimo, quem ego diligo in veritate.
prācīnō 'haṁ satyamatād yasmin prīyē taṁ priyatamaṁ gāyaṁ prati patraṁ likhāmi|
2 Carissime, de omnibus orationem facio prospere te ingredi, et valere sicut prospere agit anima tua.
hē priya, tavātmā yādr̥k śubhānvitastādr̥k sarvvaviṣayē tava śubhaṁ svāsthyañca bhūyāt|
3 Gavisus sum valde venientibus fratribus, et testimonium perhibentibus veritati tuæ, sicut tu in veritate ambulas.
bhrātr̥bhirāgatya tava satyamatasyārthatastvaṁ kīdr̥k satyamatamācarasyētasya sākṣyē dattē mama mahānandō jātaḥ|
4 Majorem horum non habeo gratiam, quam ut audiam filios meos in veritate ambulare.
mama santānāḥ satyamatamācarantītivārttātō mama ya ānandō jāyatē tatō mahattarō nāsti|
5 Carissime, fideliter facis quidquid operaris in fratres, et hoc in peregrinos,
hē priya, bhrātr̥n prati viśēṣatastān vidēśinō bhr̥tr̥n prati tvayā yadyat kr̥taṁ tat sarvvaṁ viśvāsinō yōgyaṁ|
6 qui testimonium reddiderunt caritati tuæ in conspectu ecclesiæ: quos, benefaciens, deduces digne Deo.
tē ca samitēḥ sākṣāt tava pramnaḥ pramāṇaṁ dattavantaḥ, aparam īśvarayōgyarūpēṇa tān prasthāpayatā tvayā satkarmma kāriṣyatē|
7 Pro nomine enim ejus profecti sunt, nihil accipientes a gentibus.
yatastē tasya nāmnā yātrāṁ vidhāya bhinnajātīyēbhyaḥ kimapi na gr̥hītavantaḥ|
8 Nos ergo debemus suscipere hujusmodi, ut cooperatores simus veritatis.
tasmād vayaṁ yat satyamatasya sahāyā bhavēma tadarthamētādr̥śā lōkā asmābhiranugrahītavyāḥ|
9 Scripsissem forsitan ecclesiæ: sed is qui amat primatum gerere in eis, Diotrephes, non recipit nos:
samitiṁ pratyahaṁ patraṁ likhitavān kintu tēṣāṁ madhyē yō diyatriphiḥ pradhānāyatē sō 'smān na gr̥hlāti|
10 propter hoc si venero, commonebo ejus opera, quæ facit, verbis malignis garriens in nos: et quasi non ei ista sufficiant, neque ipse suscipit fratres: et eos qui suscipiunt, prohibet, et de ecclesia ejicit.
atō 'haṁ yadōpasthāsyāmi tadā tēna yadyat kriyatē tat sarvvaṁ taṁ smārayiṣyāmi, yataḥ sa durvvākyairasmān apavadati, tēnāpi tr̥ptiṁ na gatvā svayamapi bhrātr̥n nānugr̥hlāti yē cānugrahītumicchanti tān samititō 'pi bahiṣkarōti|
11 Carissime, noli imitari malum, sed quod bonum est. Qui benefacit, ex Deo est: qui malefacit, non vidit Deum.
hē priya, tvayā duṣkarmma nānukriyatāṁ kintu satkarmmaiva| yaḥ satkarmmācārī sa īśvarāt jātaḥ, yō duṣkarmmācārī sa īśvaraṁ na dr̥ṣṭavān|
12 Demetrio testimonium redditur ab omnibus, et ab ipsa veritate, sed et nos testimonium perhibemus: et nosti quoniam testimonium nostrum verum est.
dīmītriyasya pakṣē sarvvaiḥ sākṣyam adāyi viśēṣataḥ satyamatēnāpi, vayamapi tatpakṣē sākṣyaṁ dadmaḥ, asmākañca sākṣyaṁ satyamēvēti yūyaṁ jānītha|
13 Multa habui tibi scribere: sed nolui per atramentum et calamum scribere tibi.
tvāṁ prati mayā bahūni lēkhitavyāni kintu masīlēkhanībhyāṁ lēkhituṁ nēcchāmi|
14 Spero autem protinus te videre, et os ad os loquemur. Pax tibi. Salutant te amici. Saluta amicos nominatim.
acirēṇa tvāṁ drakṣyāmīti mama pratyāśāstē tadāvāṁ sammukhībhūya parasparaṁ sambhāṣiṣyāvahē| tava śānti rbhūyāt| asmākaṁ mitrāṇi tvāṁ namaskāraṁ jñāpayanti tvamapyēkaikasya nāma prōcya mitrēbhyō namaskuru| iti|
