3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Toronoo Gayus fo au sue tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ a. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Yohanis, mana malalao nggareiꞌ.
2 Beloved, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.
Au oꞌe fo Lamatuaꞌ nanea nggo, naa fo aom afiꞌ hambu hedꞌis, ma ralam maloleꞌ boe.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bore witness to thy truth, as thou walkest in truth.
Hambu toronooꞌ ruma, rema dui au oi, ho tungga mukundoo Lamatualain dala masodꞌa ndoo-tetun. Rena ala taꞌo naa ma, rala ngga namahoꞌo nala seli.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
Huu Au umuhoꞌo ala seli mete ma rena oi, ana nggara rasodꞌa tungga dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a ena.
5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,
Toronoo susueꞌ e! Mulalao Lamatualain ue-tataon no maloleꞌ ena, leleꞌ simbo malolole toronoo mara mana laoꞌ rereoꞌ ralalao Kristus ue-tataon. Mae nda feꞌe muhine se sa o, simbo se no malole.
6 who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.
Atahori mana baliꞌ rema, dui neu atahori saraniꞌ ra sia ia oi, simbo mala toronooꞌ naa ra no maloleꞌ ma sue se. Leleꞌ ia au oꞌe fo tulu-fali mukundoo toronooꞌ naa ra, te naa tao Lamatualain ralan namahoꞌo.
7 For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.
Ara laoꞌ rereoꞌ mamanaꞌ rakandooꞌ a fo ranori atahori soꞌal Yesus Kristus. Te ara nda simbo tutulu-fafaliꞌ saa sa boe mia atahori nda mamahereꞌ ra sa.
8 We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
De memaꞌ nandaa ena, mete ma hita tulu-fali se. Huu no taꞌo naa, hita talalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon taꞌabꞌue to se.
9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.
Feꞌesaꞌan, au haitua susura fee atahori saraniꞌ sia mamanam ena, te Diotrefes soꞌu aon onaꞌ moko-monaen e. Ma nda nau rena au sa.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those that would he forbiddeth, and casteth them out of the church.
De mete ma au uu sia naa, dei fo au ufadꞌe relo-relo soꞌal saa fo ana taoꞌ ra. Huu ana ola peko-lelekoꞌ, fo nae naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ nggita. Lelenan fai, ana oi hendi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana reu sia naa. Boe ma ana akaꞌ dunggu-mbau toronooꞌ mana sia naa ra, fo afiꞌ simbo atahori naa ra. Ma mana nau simboꞌ ra na, ana tola hendi se.
11 Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Toronoo susueꞌ e! Musi tao tungga atahori mana tao dala maloleꞌ ra. Afiꞌ tungga atahori mana tao dala deꞌulakaꞌ. Te atahori mana tao dala maloleꞌ, sira Lamatualain atahorin. Te atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ, nda rahine Lamatualain sa.
12 To Demetrius testimony hath been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and ye know that our witness is true.
Conto mana tao maloleꞌ naeni Demetrius. Basa atahori koa-boꞌu e, huu ana tao tungga Lamatualain dala masodꞌa ndoo-tetun. Hai o koa e boe, ma ho bubꞌuluꞌ hai nda mana lelekoꞌ sa.
13 I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;
Au feꞌe ae olaꞌ o nggo dalaꞌ hetar, te nda nau suraꞌ neu susura sa.
14 but I hope to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Huu au hule-huleꞌ fo nda dooꞌ sa na ata tandaa, fo ruꞌa nggita ola-olaꞌ neuꞌ ena. Baꞌu a na, dei. Toronooꞌ mana sia ia ra haitua hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ. Tulun mendi au hara sodꞌa-mole ngga fee neu toronooꞌ mana sia naa ra, esa-esaꞌ no naran. Sodꞌa-mole, Yohanis
