PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 El anciano, al amado Gayo, a quien ama de veras.
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
1 Ὁ πρεσβύτερος Γαΐῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ, ὃν ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ.
2 Querido hermano, ruego a Dios que en todo te vaya bien y que tu cuerpo esté tan saludable como lo está tu alma.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
2 Ἀγαπητέ, περὶ πάντων εὔχομαί σε εὐοδοῦσθαι καὶ ὑγιαίνειν, καθὼς εὐοδοῦταί σου ἡ ψυχή.
3 He tenido la alegría de enterarme, por medio de algunos hermanos que vinieron, de que vives fiel a la verdad.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
3 ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς.
4 Para mí no hay mayor alegría que la de oír que mis hijos viven de acuerdo con la verdad.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
4 μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα.
5 Amado hermano, haces muy bien al ayudar a los hermanos y en especial a los que llegan de otras tierras.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
5 Ἀγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ εἰς τοὺς ξένους,
6 Ellos han hablado delante de la iglesia de tu amor. Me agradaría que los ayudes a seguir su viaje, como Dios manda.
6 They 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,
6 οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ Θεοῦ.
7 Ellos viajan al servicio del Señor y no han aceptado ningún tipo de ayuda de los que no conocen a Dios.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
7 ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἐξῆλθον, μηδὲν λαμβάνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνικῶν.
8 Por eso, nosotros debemos ayudarlos, porque al hacerlo colaboramos con ellos en la verdad.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8 ἡμεῖς οὖν ὀφείλομεν ἀπολαμβάνειν τοὺς τοιούτους, ἵνα συνεργοὶ γινώμεθα τῇ ἀληθείᾳ.
9 Hace un tiempo escribí a la iglesia sobre este asunto, pero Diótrefes, a quien le encanta ser el primero en todo, no reconoce la autoridad que tengo.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
9 Ἔγραψα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ φιλοπρωτεύων αὐτῶν Διοτρεφὴς οὐκ ἐπιδέχεται ἡμᾶς.
10 Por eso, cuando yo vaya, le voy a llamar la atención por su mala conducta y por los chismes y las cosas malas que anda diciendo de nosotros. No sólo se niega a recibir a los hermanos que por allí pasan, sino que prohíbe que los demás lo hagan, amenazándolos con expulsarlos de la iglesia.
10 Therefore, 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.
10 διὰ τοῦτο, ἐὰν ἔλθω, ὑπομνήσω αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖ, λόγοις πονηροῖς φλυαρῶν ἡμᾶς· καὶ μὴ ἀρκούμενος ἐπὶ τούτοις οὔτε αὐτὸς ἐπιδέχεται τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοὺς βουλομένους κωλύει καὶ [ἐκ] τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐκβάλλει.
11 Amado, no imites los malos ejemplos. Imita sólo lo bueno. El que hace lo bueno es de Dios; el que hace el mal no ha visto a Dios.
11 Beloved, 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.
11 Ἀγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακε τὸν Θεόν.
12 Todos, y aun la verdad misma, hablan bien de Demetrio. Yo opino de él igual que los demás, y ya sabes que digo la verdad.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
12 Δημητρίῳ μεμαρτύρηται ὑπὸ πάντων καὶ ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆς τῆς ἀληθείας· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ μαρτυρία ἡμῶν ἀληθής ἐστι.
13 Tengo muchas cosas más que decirte, pero no quiero hacerlo por carta.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
13 Πολλὰ εἶχον γράφειν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ θέλω διὰ μέλανος καὶ καλάμου σοι γράψαι·
14 Espero verte pronto y entonces hablaremos en persona.
14 but 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.
14 ἐλπίζω δὲ εὐθέως ἰδεῖν σε, καὶ στόμα πρὸς στόμα λαλήσομεν.
15 Todos los amigos que tienes en este lugar te envían muchos saludos. Dale por favor mis saludos a todos los hermanos de por allá. Con cariño fraternal, Juan.
15 Not in this translation
15 εἰρήνη σοι. ἀσπάζονταί σε οἱ φίλοι. ἀσπάζου τοὺς φίλους κατ᾽ ὄνομα.
