3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Taape ciimazape, tumape ta siiqiza ta siiqqo laagge gayyosas.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Ta ishazo, ne shempoy loo7on dizamala ne asatethay loo7o dana malane ne oothizazi wurikka nees giiga gidanamala ta nees wossays.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Ne tumas amanetidade gidida mala qassekka ne hanoy wuri tumu gididaysa isi isi amaniza asati taakko yidi ne gish yotiin siyada ta daro ufa7istadis.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Gasoykka ta nayti loo7onne tuman smeretishin siisafe adhiza hara ufaysi tas deena.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Ta ishazo issti nes imath gidikokka nenii ne ishatas oothida mishe wurson amanistadasa.
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,
Ne bolla ay mala siiqqoy dizakone isti ne gish wosa keeththa asa sinthan marikatida. Isti biiza oogen Xooss ufaysiza hanon ne ista madikko loo7o oothassa.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Ays gikko isti Xoossa amanontaytape aykokka ekonta Kirstossa suntha gish mela kezida.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Hesa giish nu isippe tumas oothan mala heytanta malata mokkii ekana beses.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.
Ta Wossa keethas hayssafe kase xafadis. Gido attiin kallethizade gidana koyiza Diyoxraxossay nu gizaz ekena.
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 does not receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
Hesa gish, ta he bikko izi ba ita qalan nu sunthu moranas oothidaysa ta intes qonccisana. Hesikka izas gidonta ixin amaniza asa mokki ekena; Mokkii ekana koyzaytakka digesinne wossa keethafe kesi godes.
11 Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil has not seen God.
Ta ishazo, loo7ota milata attiin ita asata milatopa. Loo7o oothizadey wurikka Xoossa asa. Ita oothizadey qasse Xooss beybeyna.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
Dimexrosas asi wuri loo7o markates. Tumaykka izas markataysu. Nukka izas markatos, intekka nu markkay tumu gididaysa ereta.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Ta nees xahaaththaana buro daro yoy dees shin ta nes waraqatan xahaaththaanas koyikke.
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.
Ta nena mata wode beyanas ufays oothays, he wode nu isife uti hasa7ana. Ane saron da; ne lageti nena saro saro getes, ta lagista sunthu sunthu xeygada saro ga.
