Treća Ivanova poslanica 1

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Starješina ljubljenom Gaju koga ljubim u Istini.	1 The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Ljubljeni! Želim ti u svemu dobro i da budeš zdrav, kao što je dobro tvojoj duši.	2 Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
3 Veoma se obradovah kada dođoše braća i posvjedočiše za tvoju istinu: kako ti živiš po Istini.	3 I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 Čuti da moja djeca po Istini žive! – nema mi veće radosti od toga.	4 I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
5 Ljubljeni, pravi si vjernik u svemu što činiš za braću, i to za došljake.	5 Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
6 Oni posvjedočiše tvoju ljubav pred Crkvom i dobro ćeš učiniti ako ih ispratiš Boga dostojno.	6 Who 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.
7 Jer poradi Imena iziđoše i ne primaju ništa od pogana.	7 Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 Mi smo dakle dužni takve primati da budemo suradnici Istine.	8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
9 Pisao sam nešto Crkvi: ali Diotref, koji hoće da bude prvi među njima, ne prima nas.	9 I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
10 Zato ako dođem, spočitnut ću mu djela koja čini naklapajući zlobne riječi o nama. Ni to mu nije dosta, nego ne prima braće, a onima koji bi to htjeli, brani i izgoni ih iz Crkve.	10 For 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.
11 Ljubljeni! Ne nasljeduj zlo, nego dobro. Tko dobro čini, od Boga je; tko zlo čini, nije vidio Boga.	11 Dearly 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.
12 Za Demetrija svjedoče svi, i sama Istina, a i mi svjedočimo. A znaš da je naše svjedočanstvo istinito.	12 To 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.
13 Mnogo bih ti imao pisati, ali neću da ti pišem crnilom i perom.	13 I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee.
14 Nadam se da ću te uskoro vidjeti pa ćemo iz usta u usta govoriti.	14 But 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.
15 Mir tebi! Pozdravljaju te prijatelji. Pozdravi prijatelje poimence.
