1Kaparali Gajusungu ngantjaluni, nina ngato morlalu ngantjai.
1The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:
2Ngantjalu, ngato ngantjai, jundru warupotuni tepi ngumu ngamalkananto, ja jidni tepi ngamananto, worderu mungara jinkani tepi ngumu ngamalkai.
2Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
3Ngani pirna mankina piraia, ngatata wora matja wokarana paraia, ja jinkani morlalulandru tinkari ngankana paraia, worderu jidni morlalulani wirariai.
3For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
4Mankini morla pirna ngato wata ngamalkai nunkangu, ngarala kupa ngakani morlalulani wirariai.
4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5Ngantjalu, jundru talku ngankai pratjanani, mina jundru ngankana paraia ngatatani, tana tidnapalara nganai,
5Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
6Tanali jinkani ngantjanandru tinkari ngankana paraia mili wolarani, ja jundru ngumu ngankala nganai, jundru tanana ngankingankibanani, worderu Godani talku nganai.
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.
7Ngangau tana dunkana paraia nunkani talandru, ja tanali panila maniai kana kondru.
7For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
8Jeruja ngaiana wilpa nganai jenipara patala, ngaiana tanani jelangankanietja pantjinanto morlalulaia.
8Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
9Ngato mili wolarani dakana warai, ja Diotrephes, nau pirna ngundrateriai, nulu ngaianana wata patai.
9I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
10Jendrangundruja, ngani wokaranani, ngato nina mangatandra, nunkani ngankanandru, tanana nulu ngankai, wilpa ngankala nganai, ngangau jaura kaldrieli nau ngaianangu jatajatai, ja morla, nulu bakana ngatata wata patai, ja nulu tanana ngandrawalkai, tana jenia jertapateriai ngankala, ja tanana mili wolarandru dangai.
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.
11Ngantjalu, wata madlentjani karipateriau, a‐ai, ngumuni. Warle ngumu ngakai, nau Godandru nganai; warle madlentji ngankai, nulu Goda wata najinala.
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.
12Pratjanali, ja bakana morlalulali muntali, Demetriusungu jaura ngumu tinkari ngankai, ja bakana ngaiana nunkangundru tinkari ngankai, ja jidni milkila, tinkari ngankani ngaianani morlalu nganai.
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.
13Ngato marapu ngamalkai jinkangu dakala, ja ngato wata ngantjai marujeli ja pitali jenia ngankala.
13I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.
14Ngato ngundrai jidna wolja najila, ngadani ngaldra manali manani kaukaubijiribamalila nganai.
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.
15Murla jinkangunto nganaiatimai! Kamanelieli jinkangu mandurini jaura jinpai. Mandurini jaura jinkiau kamanelini tala pilki ja pilkieli.
