3 Joan 1
1 ANCIANOAC Gayo maite nic eguiazqui on daritzadanari.
The Elder, to Gaius, most beloved, whom I love in the truth.
2 Maiteá, desiratzen diat gauça gucietan prospera deçán, eta sendo aicén, hire arimá prospero den beçala.
Most beloved, concerning everything, I make it my prayer that you may benefit by advancing and succeeding in whatever may be to the benefit of your soul.
3 Ecen alegueratu içan nauc haguitz ethorri içan diradenean anayeac eta testificatu vkan dutenean hire integritateaz, nola integroqui ebilten baitaiz.
I was very glad when the brothers arrived, and when they offered testimony to the truth in you, that you are walking in the truth.
4 Haur baino bozcario handiagoric eztiát, cein baita, ençuten dudanean ene haourrac integroqui dabiltzala.
I have no greater grace than this, when I hear that my sons are walking in the truth.
5 Maiteá, fidelqui eguiten duc cer-ere eguiten baituc anayetara eta estrangeretara.
Most beloved, you should act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, and those who are sojourners;
6 Ceinéc testificatu vkan baituté hire charitateaz Eliçaren presentián: hec baldin guida baditzac Iaincoari dagocan beçala, vngui daidiquec.
they have given testimony to your charity in the sight of the Church. You would do well to lead these ones worthily to God.
7 Ecen haren icenagatic partitu içan dituc, deus hartzen etzutela Gentiletaric.
For they set out, on behalf of his name, accepting nothing from the unbelievers.
8 Guc beraz behar citiagu recebitu halacoac, eguiá aiuta deçagunçát.
Therefore, we must accept such as these, in order that we may cooperate with the truth.
9 Scribatu diarocát Eliçari: baina hayén artean lehen içan aiher denac, Diotrephesec ezguiaitic recebitzen.
As it happens, I had written to the church. But Diotrephes, who loves to bear the highest rank among them, would not accept us.
10 Halacotz, baldin ethor banadi aippaturen citiat harc eguiten dituen obrác, elhe gaichtoz dadassala gure contra: eta hauçaz ez contentez, eztitic berac anayeac recebitzen, eta recebitu nahi dituztenac empatchatzen citic eta Eliçatic egoizten.
Because of this, when I come, I will admonish his works which he does, babbling against us with malicious words. And as if this were not sufficient for him, he himself does not receive the brothers. And those who do receive them, he hinders, and he ejects them from the church.
11 Maiteá, ezteçála imita gaitza, baina ona: vngui eguiten duena, Iaincoaganic duc: baina gaizqui eguiten duenac eztic ikussi Iaincoa.
Most beloved, do not be willing to imitate what is evil; instead imitate what is good. Whoever does good is of God. Whoever does evil has not seen God.
12 Demetrioz guciéc testificatzen dié, eta eguiac berac-ere: baina guc-ere testificatzen diagu, eta eçagutu vkan duçue ecen gure testificationea eguiazco dela.
Testimony is being given for Demetrius by everyone, and by the truth itself. And we also offer testimony. And you know that our testimony is true.
13 Banián anhitz gauça scribatzecoric, baina eztrauát tintaz eta hegatsez scribatu nahi.
I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing, through ink and pen, to write to you.
14 Baina sperança diát sarri ikussiren audala, eta ahoz aho minçaturen garela. Baquea dela hirequin. Salutatzen auté adisquidéc. Salutaitzac adisquideac icenguilatuqui.
Yet I hope to see you soon, and then we will speak face to face. Peace to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
