3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Mihak phokhoh taangnawa— Ngah ih nga mongnook Gaius amiimiisak minchan hang asuh raanghang.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Nga mongnook joonwah, ngah ih rangsoom hang, an damdoh ese toom ang ah eno sakse hanme toomtong uh ngeh ah—mamah liidih ngah ih ejat ehala an chiiala lam ni ese.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Kristaan mina thok rum haano baat rum tahang an amiisak tiit asuh kamkam eh tuungmaanglu—saarookwe amiisak ni kamkam ih tonglu ah chaat angno ngah rapne roonlang.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Tim chaat ang di uh emah than tah thaak roonkang, ngaasuh ngaasah amiisak ni tongla chaat angno roonlang thanthan ah.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Nga mongnook joonwah, neng loong wenwah ang rum abah uh Kristaan loong raangtaan ih molu ah rapne tuungmaang theng reelu.
6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
Neng ih chaas mina loong asuh an minchan tiit ah baat rumha. Neng lakhoom raangtaan ih nong sokboi we an, erah doba Rangte tenroon thuktheng adoh khoom rum ah.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Mamah liidih neng loong ah Kristo mootkaat raangtaan ih ejen dokchap erumta, neng ih lah hanpiite loong taangnawa huinong hui suh tah jam rumka.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Seng Kristaan loong ah juuba neng loong ah chosok theng jaatjaat, enooba amiisak mootkaat raangtaan ih seng nong kattheng ang ah.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Ngah ih ethoosah chaas raangtaan ih le raanghang; enoothong neng lamsiitte likhiik angla Diotrephes rah ih, arah jenglang asuh hethung hetak nak toom koh ah.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
Ngah maatok doh wang hang, erah doh heh ih timjih reeta erah baat wanhang: Marah echoh theng baat tahe nyia eleek tiit baat tahe erah loong ah! Enoothong heh suh erah tah changka ang ah; heh ih Kristaan loong heh ih tah banpoon rumka ang ah, erah damdi marah mina ih Kristaan mina banpoon suh taat liiha suh uh heh ih etangpang erum ah, eno neng loong ah chaas nawa edok phanhaat esuh thun rum ah!
11 Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
Nga mongnook joonte, ethih ah nak nyoot uh, enoothong marah ese ah erah nyoot uh. Ngo ih ese re ah erah Rangte mina; ngo ih ethih reela erah ih Rangte ah tup muh.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
Thoontang ih Demetrius ese li rumha; amiisak tiitkhaap rah ih heh tiit ah naririh ih baat ha. Eno erah seng roidong tiitkhaap tim baat hi eradi wakbaat hi, an ih ejat ehu seng ih tim baat hi erah amiisak kabaat ih.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Ngah ih sen suh baat theng hantek je ah, enoothong roong nyi leeraang nawa ih raang suh tah thunghaan kang.
14 but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Nga tuungmaang eje ang lang sen damdoh elaang ih chomui suh ah, eno erah doh seng pupuh damdoh chomui ino ma roongwaan ih. Semroongroong ah sen damdoh toom angha. Sen joonte loong ih jengse raajeng halan. Seng joonte loong ih waru waru ih jengse raajeng halan.
