1The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
1Kricaabu zaehoikung kacoehta mah, loktang ah ka palung ih Kaia khaeah,
2Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
2kang palung ih kami, kahoih poekhaih palungthin na tawnh baktih toengah, hmuennawk boih ah qoengh moe, ngan na tui thai hanah lawk kang thuih pae, tiah ca tarik.
3For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
3Loktang loklam to na pazui moe, loktang lok ah na oh, tiah nawkamyanawk angzoh o moe, ang thuih o naah, paroeai anghoehaih ka tawnh.
4I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
4Ka caanawk loktang thungah caeh o ti, tiah ka thaih naah, to anghoehaih pongah kalen kue anghoehaih ka tawn ai boeh.
5Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
5Palung ih kami, nawkamyanawk hoi angvinnawk khaeah, oep kaom ah tok na sak;
6They 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,
6nihcae mah nang ih amlunghaih to kricaabu hmaa ah thuih o boeh: nihcae mah Sithaw koehhaih baktiah tamthanglok taphong o hanah na bomh thaih nahaeloe, kahoih hmuen ah ni om tih:
7because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
7nihcae loe Anih ih ahmin hoiah ni caeh o, Gentelnawk khae hoi abomhaih tidoeh la o ai.
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8Loktang toksahkung ah a oh o thai toeng hanah, aicae mah to baktih kaminawk to abomh han oh.
9I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
9Kricaabu khaeah ca ka tarik: toe nihcae zaehoikung ah kaom, Diotrephe mah kaicae talawk han koeh ai.
10Therefore, 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.
10To pongah, kang zoh nahaeloe, a sak ih hmuen to ka panoek sak han, anih loe aicae kasae thuih khue ai ah, nawkamyanawk doeh talawk han koeh ai: nawkamyanawk talawk han koeh kaminawk doeh pakaa moe, nihcae to kricaabu thung hoiah pathok ving.
11Beloved, 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.
11Palung ih kami, kahoih ai hmuen to pazui hmah, kahoih hmuen to pazui ah. Kahoih hmuen sah kami loe Sithaw ih kami ah oh: toe kahoih ai hmuen sah kami loe Sithaw to hnu ai.
12Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
12Kaminawk boih mah Demitria hoihaih kawng to thuih o, loktang lok mah doeh anih hoihaih kawng to thuih: ue, aicae mah doeh kahoihah a thuih o; a thuih o ih lok loe loktang ni, tito na panoek.
13I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
13Ca zetpui tarik han ka koeh, toe cacung hoi catui hoiah tarik ka koeh ai:
14but 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.
14nang hoi angqum palang tih hmang, tiah oephaih ka tawnh, to naah mikhmai kang tongah lok aram tih hmang.
