३ यूहन्ना 1
1 प्रिय एल्डर गायसलाई, जसलाई म सत्यतामा प्रेम गर्छु ।
This letter comes from the elder to Gaius, my dear friend, whom I love in the truth.
2 प्रिय, म प्रार्थना गर्छु, कि जसरी तिम्रो प्राणको उन्नति हुन्छ त्यसरी नै तिमीले सबै कुराहरूमा उन्नति गर र स्वस्थ्य होओ ।
My friend, I pray most of all that you're doing well and are in good physical health, for I know you're doing well spiritually.
3 किनकी जसरी तिमी सत्यमा हिँड्छौ त्यस्तै जब भाइहरू आएर तिम्रो सत्यताप्रति गवाही दिए म अति आनन्दित भएँ ।
I was delighted when some fellow-believers arrived and told me about your commitment to the truth, and how you continue living in the truth.
4 योभन्दा अर्थात् मेरा छोराछोरीहरू सत्यतामा हिँड्छन् भनी सुन्नुभन्दा अरू कुनै ठूलो आनन्द मसँग हुँदैन ।
Nothing makes me happier than to hear how my dear friends are following the truth.
5 प्रिय, भाइहरू र परदेशीहरूको निम्ति काम गर्दा तिमी विश्वासयोग्यताको अभ्यास गर्छौ,
My friend, you show you are trustworthy in what you're doing by looking after the brothers, even those you don't know.
6 जसले मण्डलीको सामु तिम्रो प्रेमको गवाही दिन्छन् । तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका यात्रामा परमेश्वरको योग्य हुने तरिकाले पठाउन असल गर्छौ,
They have spoken well about your love in front of the church. Please be so kind as to send them on their journey in a way that God would appreciate,
7 किनकि अन्यजातिहरूबाट केही नलिइ नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरू गए ।
for they are traveling in his name, not accepting anything from non-believers.
8 त्यसकारण यस्ताहरूलाई हामीले स्वागत गर्नुपर्छ, ताकि हामी सत्यताको लागि सहकर्मीहरू बन्न सकौँ ।
We ought to support them so we can share together in the truth.
9 मैले मण्डलीको निम्ति केही लेखेँ, तर डियोत्रिफस जसले तिनीहरूमा पहिलो हुन रुचाउछन् तिनले हामीलाई स्वीकार गर्दैन ।
I did write about this to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves being in charge, refuses to accept our authority.
10 यसकारण यदि म आएँ भने त्यसले गर्ने कामहरू अर्थात् त्यसले कुवाक्यहरूसहित हाम्रो विरुद्ध कसरी हाँस्यास्पद कुराहरू भन्छ म सम्झनेछु । यी कुराहरूले मात्र सन्तुष्ट नभएर, त्यो आफैँले भाइहरूलाई स्वीकार गर्दैन । यसो गर्न इच्छा गर्नेहरूलाई पनि त्यसले निषेध गर्छ र तिनीहरूलाई मण्डलीबाट निकाली दिन्छ ।
So if I do visit, I will make it clear what he's been doing. He's been making malicious accusations against us. Not satisfied with doing that, he refuses to welcome any other brothers. He won't let anyone else welcome them either, and throws those who do so out of the church.
11 प्रिय, जे खराब छ त्यसको अनुकरण नगर, तर जे असल छ त्यसको अनुरण गर । जसले असल गर्दछ त्यो परमेश्वरको हो; जसले दुष्ट कर्म गर्छ त्यसले परमेश्वरलाई देखेको छैन ।
My friend, don't imitate what is evil, but what is good. Those who do what's good belong to God; those who do evil don't know God.
12 डेमेत्रियसको बारेमा सबैद्वारा र सत्यता आफैँद्वारा पनि गवाही दिइन्छ । हामी पनि गवाही दिन्छौँ, र तिमी जान्दछौ, कि हाम्रो गवाही सत्य छ ।
Everyone speaks well of Demetrius—and the truth does so too! We also speak well of him, and you know we tell the truth.
13 मैले तिमीलाई लेख्नु धेरै कुराहरू छन्, तर मैले तिनीहरूलाई कागज र मसीले लेख्ने इच्छा गर्दिनँ ।
I have so much to say to you, but I don't want to do it in writing with pen and ink.
14 तर तिमीलाई छिट्टै भेट्ने आशा गर्छु, र हामी आमने सामने कुरा गर्नेछौँ । तिमीलाई शान्ति होस् । मित्रहरूले तिमीलाई अभिवादन गर्छन् । मित्रहरूलाई नाउँद्वारा अभिवादन गर ।
I hope to see you soon so we can talk face to face. May peace be with you! The friends here send their greetings to you. Please personally greet our friends there by name.
