2 O temanku si kukelengi, ertoto aku gelah kai si mehuli jadilah man bandu, janah mejuah-juahlah bagi kueteh maka kegeluhen pertendinndu pe mehuli. 3 Meriah kal kuakap kenca reh piga-piga kalak seninanta kalak Kristen, janah nuriken man bangku kuga bujurna kam bagi biasana pe kam nggeluh i bas kebujuren nge.
4 La lit si banci erbahanca ukurku teriahen asangken megi anak-anakku nggeluh i bas kebujuren.Gayus ipujiken
5 Temanku si kukelengi, tutus kal atendu ndahiken dahin si ilakokenndu guna senina-seninanta kalak Kristen, aminna gia pe ia la itandaindu. 6 Enggo isaksiken senina-seninanta e i lebe-lebe perpulungen si i jenda kerna kekelengenndu e. Mehuli kal adi isampatindu ia rikutken si ngena ate Dibata i bas ia nerusken perdalanenna. 7 Sabap kalak enda lit i bas perdalanen guna Kristus, alu la ngaloken kai pe i bas kalak perbegu nari.
8 Dage kita kalak Kristen rutang nampati kalak si bage, gelah kita pe ikut muat bagin i bas pembarken Berita Si Meriah i bas Dibata nari e.Diotrepes ras Demetrius
9 Pernah kukirim sada surat man perpulungen enda, tapi Diotrepes si pebeluh-beluhken minpin e, la mperdiateken aku.
10 Erkiteken si e, sanga aku reh pagi ku bongkar nge kai si enggo ibahanna e, e me penggombangi ras cakap si la tuhu si ikatakenna kerna kami. Labo terjeng je saja; lebih asa si e la ia nggit ngalokenca senina-seninanta kalak Kristen e adi ia reh, janah iambatina pe kalak gelah ola ngaloken senina-seninanta e, dingen iusahakenna pedaratsa i bas perpulungen nari!
11 Teman si kukelengi, ola usih kai si jahat, tapi usihlah kai si mehuli. Ise erbahan si mehuli asalna i bas Dibata nari; ise si erbahan jahat la enggo idahna Dibata.
12 Kerina kalak mujiken Demetrius; kebenaren e jine pe mujiken ia. Kami pe ikut nambahi kesaksin e, janah ietehndu maka kai si ikataken kami e tuhu kap.Salam pendungi
13 Melala denga ateku si kuturiken man bandu, tapi la kubahan e alu pena ras tinta.
14 Kuarap maka lanai ndekahsa banci kita jumpa, gelah banci kita ngerana sebabah.
15 Kemalemen ate ras kam gelah.
Teman-teman si i jenda ngataken mejuah-juah man bandu. Kataken pe mejuah-juah man teman-teman si i jena sada-sadai.
3 John 1
Introduction and Thanksgiving
1 Fromt the elder,ts to Gaiuss my dear brother, whom I love in truth.t2 Dear friend, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.ts
3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are living according to the truth.s
4 I have no greater joy than this: to heart that my children are living according to the truth.t
The Charge to Gaius
5 Dear friend,t you demonstrate faithfulnessts by whatever you do for the brothers (even though they are strangers).6 Theyt have testified to your love before the church.s You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.s7 For they have gone forths on behalf of “The Name,”s accepting nothing from the pagans.ts
8 Therefore wes ought to support such people, so that we become coworkers in cooperation with the truth.t
Diotrephes the Troublemaker
9 I wrote something to the church,s but Diotrephes,s who loves to be first among them, does not acknowledge us.t10 Therefore, if I come,t I will call attention to the deeds he is doings – the bringing of unjustified charges against us with evil words! And not being content with that, he not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but hinders the people who want to do so and throws them out of the church!
11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is bad but what is good.s The one who does good is of God; the one who does what is bad has not seen God.s
Worthy Demetrius
12 Demetriuss has been testified to by all, even by the truth itself. We also testify to him,t and you know that our testimony is true.
Conclusion
13 I have many things to write to you, but I do not wish to write to you witht pen and ink.ts14 But I hope to see you right away, and we will speak face to face.t
15 Peace be with you.t The friends heret greet you. Greet the friendss theret by name.
