1The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
1A ham loh thintlo Kaiyu te ka yaak sak. Anih he kai loh oltak neh ka lungnah.
2Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
2Thintlo aw, na hinglu loh a hoeikhang vanbangla, a cungkuem dongah nang hoeikhang sak ham neh sading sak ham ka thangthui.
3I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3Oltak dongah na pongthoh vanbangla, manuca aka pawk rhoek loh oltak ah na om te khaw a phong uh dongah bahoeng ka omngaih.
4I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
4Ka ca rhoek te oltak dongah pongpa uh tila ka yaak vaengah, hekah lakah a lenngai omngaihnah ka khueh moenih.
5Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
5Thintlo aw, manuca rhoek neh olpuei la yinlai rhoek ham na saii te khaw uepom la saii.
6Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God.
6Amih loh hlangboel hmaiah nang kah lungnah a phong uh. Pathen neh a tingtawk la amih thak ham te a then la saii.
7Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
7Boeipa ming ham cet uh dae namtom rhoek taengkah a bawn uh moenih.
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
8Mamih loh tebang te doo ham a kuek tangloeng. Te daengah ni oltak dongah bibipuei la n'om uh eh.
9I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
9Hlangboel ham bet ka daek dae amih ah aka tanglue Diotrephi loh mamih n'doe moenih.
10For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.
10Te dongah, ka pawk atah, anih kah a saii khoboe te ka thoelh ni. Mamih te rhaithae olka m'pup thil. He nen khaw a rhaemhal kolla manuca rhoek te a doe moenih. Te phoeiah doe ham aka cai rhoek te a paa sak dongah hlangboel lamkah a thaek.
11Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God.
11Thintlo rhoek, a thae te awt boel lamtah a then te awtuh. Aka then tah Pathen kah la om. Aka thae loh Pathen te a hmuh moenih.
12To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our testimony is true.
12Demetrius te a cungkuem neh oltak amah lamloh a phong coeng. Te dongah mamih khaw m'phong uh. Te vaengah mamih kah laipainah tah oltak ni tila na ming uh.
13I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee.
13Nang taengah daek ham muep ka khueh dae nang ham cahang neh cacung neh daek ham ka ngaih moenih.
14But I hope speedily to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
14Tedae nangmih te tlek hmuh ham ka ngaiuep. Te vaengah ka neh ka rhoi te n'thui bitni.
