1The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
1Katar o mai phuro kai kerel buchi ande khangeri ramol ka le Gaius, kai si mange chaches drago.
2Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
2Murho kuchi vortako, mangav ai rhugiv ma te avel tuke mishto ande soste godi, ai te aves sasto ande sa cho stato sar si cho duxo le Devlesa.
3For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
3Defial raduime simas, kana avile phral kai pachanpe ando Del ai phende mange pa chachimos kai si ande tute, ai sar phires ando chachimos.
4Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
4Nai ma mai baro raduimos de sar te zhanav ke murhe shave traiin ando chachimos.
5Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
5Murho kuchi vortako, tu sagda keres mishto le phralensa ai vi kodolensa kai si streinuria.
6who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
6Won phende pa che dragostia la khangeriake, de le so trobul le, mangav ma tutar te zhan mai angle pengo drom, ker mishto te avel drago le Devleske.
7because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
7Ke won thodepe po drom te keren buchi ando anav le Kristosko bi te len chi iek zhutimos katar le manush kai chi pachanpe ando Del.
8We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
8Trobul ame kai pachas ame ando Del te zhutisaras kasavendar manushen, saxke te avas iame ande buchi kai keren te zhal o chachimos angle.
9I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
9Tradem andek lil xantsi divano kai khangeri, numa o Diotrephes, kai si leske drago te avel wo o mai baro mashkar lende chi mangel te premil ame.
10Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth [them] out of the church.
10Anda kodia, kana avava, phenava sa o nasulimos kai kerel, le vorbi le bi lashe kai mothol ai kai xoxavel pe amende! Numa kodia nai leske dosta, chi mangel te premil le phralen kai aven, ai kodola kai mangen te premin le, wo aterdiarel le, ai del le avri andai khangeri.
11Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
11Murho kuchi vortako, na ker o nasulimos, numa o lashimos, ke kodo kai kerel o lashimos wo si le Devlesko; ai kodo kai kerel o nasulimos chi dikhlia le Devles.
12Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true.
12Savorhe mothon o lashimos pa Demetrius, ai vi o lashimos. Mothol lashimos pa leste, ai iame mothas lashimos pa leste, ai zhanes ke o chachimos phenas.
13I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen:
13Si ma but dieli te mothav tuke, numa chi mangav te phenav le tuke andek lil ramome la chernialasa.
14but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face.
14Numa mangav te dikhav tu sigo vriama, ai antunchi sai dasa duma iek kavresa. E pacha te avel tusa. Che vortacha traden tuke but bax, zor ai sastimos. Ai iame tradas but bax, zor ai sastimos sa amare vortachenge kai si kotse.
15Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
