3 John 1
1 The elder, unto Gaius the beloved, whom, I, love in truth.
Upa renga han, Ko moroitak Gaius, ku lungkham tatakpu kôm,
2 Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
Ka mal moroitak, ratha han na dam ti ki riet anghan, neinunngei murdi asadima a lônna taksa han na dam theina rangin ku chubai ngâi.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly, at brethren coming and bearing witness unto thy truth, —even as, thou, in truth, art walking.
Khristien champuingei senkhat an juonga, taksônoma no omtit ngâi anghan, chongtaka iem no omtit tih min rila, ka râisân tatak ani.
4 I have no, greater, favour than these things, that I should be hearing that, my own children, in the truth, are walking.
Ka nâingei chongtaka an om ti ki rieta ka râisân nêka râisânna lien uol reng dôn mu ung.
5 Beloved! a faithful thing, art thou doing, whatsoever thou shalt accomplish for them that are brethren, and withal strangers, —
Ka mal moroitak, khuolmingei anni lâi khomin Khristien champuingei chunga taksônomtakin sin no tho ngâia.
6 Who have borne witness to thy love before the assembly: whom thou wilt do, nobly, to set forward worthily of God.
Hi taka koiindangngei kôm khom nu lungkhamna chungroi an misîr zoi. An khuolchaina mozomtita Pathien a râisân theina rangin rangâihoitakin lei san ngei roh.
7 For, in behalf of The Name, have they gone forth, taking, nothing, from them of the nations.
Khrista sinthoa an khuolchaina han iemloingei renga sanna lâk loiin an nin thok sikin.
8 We, therefore ought to be sustaining such as these, that we may become, fellowworkers, with the truth.
Masikin eini Khristienngeiin, chongtaka sin an thona han ênchelsa theina rangin hi mingei hih ei san ngêt rang ani.
9 I wrote something unto the assembly; but, he who is fond of taking the first place among them—Diotrephes, doth not make us welcome.
Koiindang kôma lekhamuthuon bongte chu ki mizieka; aniatachu, an ruoipu chang nuom ngâipu Diotrephes han chu ko chong ite lunghâng tho noni.
10 For this cause, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he is doing, —with wicked words, prating against us; and, not content with these, he neither, himself, maketh the brethren welcome, but, them who are minded [to do it], he forbiddeth, and, out of the assembly, doth cast [them].
Hanchu ku juong tika chu a sintho murdi lunghâng tho ka ta; kin chungroia neinun ichiruoingei a ti ngâi le milak a ril ngâi! Aniatachu maha khom ahunin la riet maka; ei Khristien champuingei an hong khomin mintung ngâi maka, mi mintung rang nuomngei khom a khap ngâi male koiindang renga rujûl pai ngei rang a pût ngâi!
11 Beloved! be not thou imitating what is bad, but what is good. He that doeth good, is, of God: he that doeth what is bad, hath not seen God.
Ka mal moroitak, asaloi jûi nônla, asa jûi roh. Tukhom asa sinpu ngei chu Pathien ta an nia; tukhom asaloi sinpu ngei chu Pathien la muloi an ni.
12 Unto Demetrius, hath witness been borne by all and by the truth itself; howbeit, we also, bear witness, and thou knowest that, our witness, is, true.
Demetrius hah mitinin asa an ti ngâia; chongtak han amananâkin asa a ti ngâi. Male keini khomin kin thurchi kin bôk sa, male khoimo kin ti hih adik ti ni riet.
13 Many things, had I to write unto thee, —but I am unwilling, with ink and pen, to be writing;
Chong tamtak nangni ril rang ko dôn, aniatachu maha pen le pentuiin no kôm miziek nuom mu ung.
14 I hope, however, straightway, to see thee, and, mouth to mouth, will we talk. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
Nang mu lai rang ka sabeia, hanchu intongin la chong rei. Rathângamin om roh. Na malngei nâmin chibai an hong muthuon. Ei malngei hah an misang zeta chibai mi mûk pe chit roh.
