3 John 1
1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
Na te kaumatua ki a Kaiu, ki te hoa aroha, ki taku e aroha atu nei i runga i te pono.
2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
E te hoa aroha, nui atu i nga mea katoa taku inoi kia kake koe ki te pai, kia ora, kia pera ano me tou wairua kua kake ki te pai.
3 I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, even as you yourself in truth are walking.
Hari pu hoki ahau i nga teina i haere mai nei, i whakaatu mai i te pono i roto i a koe, ara i tau haere i runga i te pono.
4 Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK+O) that I may hear of my children in (the *no) truth walking.
Kahore oku hari e nui atu ana i tenei, ara kia rongo ahau e haere ana aku tamariki i runga i te pono.
5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k) (that [thing] *N+kO) strangers,
E te hoa aroha, pono tonu tau mahi e mea na koe mo nga teina, mo nga tangata iwi ke ano hoki;
6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
E whakaatu na i tou aroha i te aroaro o te hahi: na kia rite ki ta te Atua tau kawe i a ratou, a ka pai tau mahi:
7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N+kO)
He whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa i haere atu ai ratou, kihai ano i riro i a ratou tetahi mea a nga Tauiwi.
8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N+kO) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
Koia i tika ai kia whakamanuhiri tatou i nga tangata penei, kia ai hoki tatou hei hoa mahi mo te pono.
9 I have written (something *no) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
I tuhituhi atu ahau ki te hahi: otira kahore matou e manakohia mai e Rioterepi, ko tana hoki e pai ai ko ia kia meinga hei tuatahi mo ratou.
10 Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing he forbids and from the church he casts [them] out.
Mo konei ki te haere atu ahau, ka whakamahara ahau i ana mahi e mea nei ia, ki te kino o ana kupu i a ia e komeme mai nei mo matou; kahore hoki tana i mutu i konei, kahore ia e manako ki nga teina, e riria ana hoki e ia nga tangata e pai ana kia pera, e peia ana i roto i te hahi.
11 Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil but what [is] good. The [one] doing good of God is; the [one] (now *k) doing evil not has seen God.
E te hoa aroha, kaua e arumia te kino, engari te pai. Ko te tangata e mahi pai ana, no te Atua ia: tena ko te kaimahi i te kino, kahore ano ia kia kite i te Atua.
12 To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N+kO) that the testimony of us true is.
E korerotia paitia ana a Rimitiriu e te katoa, e te pono ano hoki: ae ra ko matou ano etahi hei kaiwhakaatu; e mohio ana koutou he pono ta matou whakaatu.
13 Many things I had (to write *N+kO) (to you, *no) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N+kO)
He maha nga mea hei tuhituhinga atu maku, otira e kore ahau e pai kia tuhituhi atu ki a koe ki te mangumangu, ki te pene:
14 I hope however soon you to see and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace to you. Greet you the friends. do greet the friends by name.
E mea ana hoki ahau tera ahau e kite wawe i a koe, a e korero taua, he mangai, he mangai. Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koe. Tenei nga hoa aroha te oha atu nei ki a koe. Oha atu ki nga hoa aroha me te whakahua ano i te ingoa o tera, o tera.
