1The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:
1NA ka Lunakahiko ia Gaio ka punahele, i ka'u mea i aloha ai ma ka oiaio.
2Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
2E ka punahele, ua nui aku no ko'u makemake e pomaikai oe a ikaik a hoi ma ke kino, e like me ka pomaikai ana o kou uhane.
3For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
3Ua hauoli nui no wau i ka wa i hiki mai ai o ka poe hoahanau, a hoike mai i ka oiaio ou, me kou hele ana ma ka oiaio.
4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
4Aole o'u olioli nui e aku i keia, o ka lohe ana i ka hele ana o ka'u mau keiki ma ka oiaio.
5Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
5E ka punahele, ua hana pono oe ma na mea au i hana aku ai i ka poe hoahauau, a me ka poe malihini hoi.
6They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
6Ua hoike mai lakou i kou aloha imua o ka ekalesia; a ina e kai mai oe ia lakou e like me ka ke Akua, alaila e pono kau hana ana.
7For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
7No ka mea, ua hele aku lakou no kona inoa, aole lakou i lawe i kekahi mea no ko na aina e mai.
8Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8No ia hoi, he mea pono ia kakou ke hookipa i ua poe la, i lilo kakou i poe hoalawehana ma ka oiaio.
9I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
9Ua palapala aku au na ka poe ekalesia; aka, ua hooalii ae la o Dioterepe maluna o lakou, aole oia i hookipa mai ia makou.
10So if I come, I will call attention to his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.
10No ia hoi, i ko'u hele ana aku e hoomanao wau i ka hana ana i hana'i, ua hoohuahualau mai ia ia makou me kana olelo inoino: aole hoi ia i hoomaha ia mau mea, aole oia i hookipa i ka poe hoahanau, a o ka poe i makemake aku, ua hooleia mai e ia, a kipaku aku no hoi oia ia lakou mawaho o ka ekalesia.
11Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
11E ka punahele, mai hoomahui oe i ka hewa, aka, i ka maikai no. O ka mea hana maikai, no ke Akua no ia; o ka mea e hana ino, aole oia i ike i ke Akua.
12Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.
12Ua hoike mai lakou a pau i ko Demeterio pono, a me ka oiaio; a ke hoike aku nei makou; ua ike pono no hoi oukou, he oiaio no ka makou olelo.
13I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.
13Ua nui ka'u mau mea e palapala aku ai ia oe, aka, aole au makemake e palapala aku me ka inika a me ka peni:
14Instead, I hope to see you soon and speak with you face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send you greetings. Greet each of our friends there by name.
14He manaolana ko'u e ike koke ia oe, a e kamailio pu he waha no he waha. Aloha oe. Ke uwe aku nei ka poe makamaka ia oe; e uwe aku oe ma ka inoa i ka poe hoalauna.
