3 Joan 1
1 ANCIANOAC Gayo maite nic eguiazqui on daritzadanari.
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2 Maiteá, desiratzen diat gauça gucietan prospera deçán, eta sendo aicén, hire arimá prospero den beçala.
Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 Ecen alegueratu içan nauc haguitz ethorri içan diradenean anayeac eta testificatu vkan dutenean hire integritateaz, nola integroqui ebilten baitaiz.
For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
4 Haur baino bozcario handiagoric eztiát, cein baita, ençuten dudanean ene haourrac integroqui dabiltzala.
Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5 Maiteá, fidelqui eguiten duc cer-ere eguiten baituc anayetara eta estrangeretara.
Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
6 Ceinéc testificatu vkan baituté hire charitateaz Eliçaren presentián: hec baldin guida baditzac Iaincoari dagocan beçala, vngui daidiquec.
who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
7 Ecen haren icenagatic partitu içan dituc, deus hartzen etzutela Gentiletaric.
because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 Guc beraz behar citiagu recebitu halacoac, eguiá aiuta deçagunçát.
We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
9 Scribatu diarocát Eliçari: baina hayén artean lehen içan aiher denac, Diotrephesec ezguiaitic recebitzen.
I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
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.
Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth, and casteth [them] out of the church.
11 Maiteá, ezteçála imita gaitza, baina ona: vngui eguiten duena, Iaincoaganic duc: baina gaizqui eguiten duenac eztic ikussi Iaincoa.
Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath 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.
Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true.
13 Banián anhitz gauça scribatzecoric, baina eztrauát tintaz eta hegatsez scribatu nahi.
I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen:
14 Baina sperança diát sarri ikussiren audala, eta ahoz aho minçaturen garela. Baquea dela hirequin. Salutatzen auté adisquidéc. Salutaitzac adisquideac icenguilatuqui.
but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
