3 John 1
1 [You(sg) know me as] the [chief] Elder. [I am writing this letter to you], my dear friend Gaius, whom I truly love.
ये चिट्ठी मां बुजुर्ग मांणूए री तरफा ते ए। आँऊ ये चिट्ठी मेरे प्यारे दोस्त गयुसो खे लिखणे लगी रा, जेस साथे आऊँ सच्चा प्यार करूँआ।
2 Dear friend, I ask [God that things may go] well for you in every way, [specifically], that you will be physically healthy just like you are spiritually healthy [MTY].
ओ मेरे प्यारे, मेरी ये प्रार्थना ए कि जिंयाँ तूँ आत्मिक तरक्की करने लगी रा, तिंयाँ ई तूँ सबी गल्ला रे तरक्की कर और ठीक-ठाक रओ।
3 I am very happy because some fellow believers have come [here] and told me that you conduct your life in a manner [that is consistent with God’s] true message.
कऊँकि जेबे पाईया आयी की तेरे तेस सच्चो री गवाई दित्ती, जेते पाँदे तूँ सच्ची चलेया, तो आऊँ बऊत ई खुश ऊआ।
4 I am very happy when I hear that (people whom I helped to believe in Christ/my [spiritual] children) are conducting their lives like you are!
माखे इजी ते बढ़ी की ओर कोई खुशी निए कि आऊँ सुणूँ कि मेरे बाल-बच्चे सच्चो पाँदे चलोए।
5 Dear friend, you are [serving Jesus] loyally/faithfully whenever you do things to help fellow believers, [even those whom you] do not know, who are traveling [around doing God’s work].
ओ मेरे प्यारे, जो कुछ बी पले काम तूँ तिना पाईया साथे करेया, जो परदेशी बी ए, से विश्वासी ऊई की करेया कर।
6 [Some of] them have reported before the congregation [here how] you have showed that you love them. You should continue to help such people in their travels in a way that is pleasing to God.
तिने परदेशी लोके मण्डल़िया सामणे तेरे प्यारो री गवाई दित्ती थी। जे तूँ तिना खे तिंयाँ बिदा करेगा, जिंयाँ परमेशरो रे लोका खे पला ए, तो अच्छा करोगा।
7 When those fellow believers went out [to tell people about Jesus] [MTY], the people who do not believe in Christ did not give them anything [to help them].
कऊँकि सेयो मसीह रे नाओं ते अच्छे काम करने खे निकल़ी रे और दुजिया जातिया ते कुछ बी मताद नि लंदे।
8 So we [who believe in Christ] ought to give food and money to such people to help [them as they teach others God’s] true message.
इजी री खातर एड़ेया रा स्वागत करना चाईयो, ताकि आसे बी सच्चो रे पक्षो रे तिना साथे ओऊँ।
9 I wrote [a letter] to the congregation [telling them to help those fellow believers]. However, Diotrephes does not (acknowledge my authority/[pay any attention to what] I wrote), because he (desires to be in charge/wants to be the leader) of [the congregation].
मैं मण्डल़िया खे एतेरे बारे रे चिट्ठी लिखी थी, पर दियुत्रिफेस जो तिना बीचे बड़ा बणना चाओआ, आसा खे नि मानदा।
10 So, when I arrive [there], I will [publicly] tell what he does: He tells others evil nonsense about us [in order to] harm [us by what he] says, and he is not content with only doing that. He himself refuses to receive the fellow believers who are traveling around doing God’s work, and he also stops those who want to receive them by expelling them from the congregation.
तो जेबे आऊँ आऊँगा, तो तेसरे कामो री, जो से करने लगी रा, याद करवाणी कि से म्हारे बारे रे बुरी-बुरी गल्ला बकोआ। इजी पाँदे बी तसल्ली ना करी की आपू ई विश्वासी पाईया खे नि मानदा। जेबे मण्डल़ी जो विश्वासी पाई बाअरा ते आओए, तिना खे मानणा चाओई, तिना खे बी मानणे ते ना करोआ और मण्डल़िया ते निकयाल़ी देओआ।
11 Dear friend, do not imitate a bad [example like that]. Instead, [keep imitating] good [examples. Remember that] people who do good deeds ([truly] belong to God/are [spiritual children] of God), [but] those who do [what is] evil do not (know/have fellowship with) God.
ओ मेरे प्यारे! बुराईया रे नि, पर पलाईया पीछे चलणे वाल़े बणो, जो पला करोआ, से परमेशरो री तरफा ते ए, पर जो बुराई करोआ, तिने परमेशर नि देखेया।
12 All [the believers who know Demetrius] say that he [is a good person]. The fact [that he conducts his life in a way that is consistent/in accordance with God’s] true [message] shows [that he is a good person], and we also say the same thing [about him]. You know that what we say [about him] is true. [So it will be good if you welcome him and help him. He is the one who will be bringing this letter to you].
देमेत्रियुसो रे बारे रे सबी, बल्कि सच्चे बी आपू गवाई दित्ती और आसे बी गवाई देऊँए और तूँ जाणेया कि म्हारी गवाई सच्ची ए।
13 [When I began] to write this letter, I had much more [that I intended] to tell you. But [now] I do not want to say [it] in a letter [MTY].
मां ताखे बऊत कुछ लिखणा तो था, पर स्याईया और कलमा ते लिखणा नि चांदा।
14 Instead, I expect to [come and] see you soon. Then we will talk directly with one another. [I pray that God will enable] you [to experience inner] peace. Our friends [here] (send you their greetings/say that they are thinking affectionately about you) [MTY]. Tell our friends [there] that we (send our greetings to/are thinking fondly about) them.
पर माखे उम्मीद ए कि तां साथे चट ई मिलूँगा। तेबे आसा आमणे-सामणे गल्ल-बात करनी। ताखे शान्ति मिलदी रओ। एथो रे दोस्त ताखे नमस्कार बोलोए। तेथो रे दोस्ता खे नाओं लयी-लयी की नमस्कार बोली देणा।
