۳ یوہَنَح 1

1 پْراچِینو ہَں سَتْیَمَتادْ یَسْمِنْ پْرِییے تَں پْرِیَتَمَں گایَں پْرَتِ پَتْرَں لِکھامِ۔

The elder, to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

2 ہے پْرِیَ، تَواتْما یادرِکْ شُبھانْوِتَسْتادرِکْ سَرْوَّوِشَیے تَوَ شُبھَں سْواسْتھْیَنْچَ بھُویاتْ۔

Dear one, I pray for you to prosper in every way and to be healthy, just as your soul prospers.

3 بھْراترِبھِراگَتْیَ تَوَ سَتْیَمَتَسْیارْتھَتَسْتْوَں کِیدرِکْ سَتْیَمَتَماچَرَسْییتَسْیَ ساکْشْیے دَتّے مَمَ مَہانَنْدو جاتَح۔

Because it gave me great joy when some brothers came and testified to the truth about you, how you are walking in Truth.

4 مَمَ سَنْتاناح سَتْیَمَتَماچَرَنْتِیتِوارْتّاتو مَمَ یَ آنَنْدو جایَتے تَتو مَہَتَّرو ناسْتِ۔

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in Truth.

5 ہے پْرِیَ، بھْراترِنْ پْرَتِ وِشیشَتَسْتانْ وِدیشِنو بھرِترِنْ پْرَتِ تْوَیا یَدْیَتْ کرِتَں تَتْ سَرْوَّں وِشْواسِنو یوگْیَں۔

Dear one, you are faithful in whatever you do for the brothers, and for the strangers

6 تے چَ سَمِتیح ساکْشاتْ تَوَ پْرَمْنَح پْرَمانَں دَتَّوَنْتَح، اَپَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَیوگْیَرُوپینَ تانْ پْرَسْتھاپَیَتا تْوَیا سَتْکَرْمَّ کارِشْیَتے۔

who testified to your love before the church—you will do well by sending them on their way in a manner worthy of God,

7 یَتَسْتے تَسْیَ نامْنا یاتْراں وِدھایَ بھِنَّجاتِیییبھْیَح کِمَپِ نَ گرِہِیتَوَنْتَح۔

because it was for the sake of the Name that they went out, accepting nothing from pagans.

8 تَسْمادْ وَیَں یَتْ سَتْیَمَتَسْیَ سَہایا بھَویمَ تَدَرْتھَمیتادرِشا لوکا اَسْمابھِرَنُگْرَہِیتَوْیاح۔

We therefore ought to welcome such, so that we may work together for the Truth.

9 سَمِتِں پْرَتْیَہَں پَتْرَں لِکھِتَوانْ کِنْتُ تیشاں مَدھْیے یو دِیَتْرِپھِح پْرَدھانایَتے سو سْمانْ نَ گرِہْلاتِ۔

I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who wants to dominate the others, does not acknowledge us.

10 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۔

So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, slandering us with malignant words. And not satisfied with that, not only does he himself not receive the brothers, but he forbids those who want to do so, kicking them out of the congregation.

11 ہے پْرِیَ، تْوَیا دُشْکَرْمَّ نانُکْرِیَتاں کِنْتُ سَتْکَرْمَّیوَ۔ یَح سَتْکَرْمّاچارِی سَ اِیشْوَراتْ جاتَح، یو دُشْکَرْمّاچارِی سَ اِیشْوَرَں نَ درِشْٹَوانْ۔

Dear one, do not imitate what is bad, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

12 دِیمِیتْرِیَسْیَ پَکْشے سَرْوَّیح ساکْشْیَمْ اَدایِ وِشیشَتَح سَتْیَمَتیناپِ، وَیَمَپِ تَتْپَکْشے ساکْشْیَں دَدْمَح، اَسْماکَنْچَ ساکْشْیَں سَتْیَمیویتِ یُویَں جانِیتھَ۔

Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—even by the truth itself. Yes, we also speak well of him, and we know that our testimony is true.

13 تْواں پْرَتِ مَیا بَہُونِ لیکھِتَوْیانِ کِنْتُ مَسِیلیکھَنِیبھْیاں لیکھِتُں نیچّھامِ۔

I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;

14 اَچِرینَ تْواں دْرَکْشْیامِیتِ مَمَ پْرَتْیاشاسْتے تَداواں سَمُّکھِیبھُویَ پَرَسْپَرَں سَمْبھاشِشْیاوَہے۔ تَوَ شانْتِ رْبھُویاتْ۔ اَسْماکَں مِتْرانِ تْواں نَمَسْکارَں جْناپَیَنْتِ تْوَمَپْییکَیکَسْیَ نامَ پْروچْیَ مِتْریبھْیو نَمَسْکُرُ۔ اِتِ۔

rather I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here greet you. Greet the friends there by name.
