3 Joan 1

1 ANCIANOAC Gayo maite nic eguiazqui on daritzadanari.

The elder to beloved Gaius, 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 all may go well with you and that you may be healthy, just as it is well with your soul.

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 brothers came and bore witness to your truth, just as you walk in truth.

4 Haur baino bozcario handiagoric eztiát, cein baita, ençuten dudanean ene haourrac integroqui dabiltzala.

I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.

5 Maiteá, fidelqui eguiten duc cer-ere eguiten baituc anayetara eta estrangeretara.

Beloved, you practice faithfulness whenever you work for the brothers and for strangers

6 Ceinéc testificatu vkan baituté hire charitateaz Eliçaren presentián: hec baldin guida baditzac Iaincoari dagocan beçala, vngui daidiquec.

who have borne witness of your love in the presence of the church. You do well to send them off on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

7 Ecen haren icenagatic partitu içan dituc, deus hartzen etzutela Gentiletaric.

because it was for the sake of the name that they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

8 Guc beraz behar citiagu recebitu halacoac, eguiá aiuta deçagunçát.

We therefore should welcome such as these, so that we will be fellow workers for the truth.

9 Scribatu diarocát Eliçari: baina hayén artean lehen içan aiher denac, Diotrephesec ezguiaitic recebitzen.

I wrote something to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not receive 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.

So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. Not satisfied with that, he not only refused to welcome the brothers himself, but he also stops those who want to welcome them and puts 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, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who 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.

Demetrius is borne witness to by all and by the truth itself. We also bear witness, 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 do not wish to write them to you with pen and ink.

14 Baina sperança diát sarri ikussiren audala, eta ahoz aho minçaturen garela. Baquea dela hirequin. Salutatzen auté adisquidéc. Salutaitzac adisquideac icenguilatuqui.

But I expect to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. May peace be with you. The friends greet you. Greet our friends there by name.
