< 3 John 1 >

1 The Elder vnto the beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth.
اَلشَّيْخُ، إِلَى غَايُسَ ٱلْحَبِيبِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُحِبُّهُ بِٱلْحَقِّ.١
2 Beloued, I wish chiefly that thou prosperedst and faredst well as thy soule prospereth.
أَيُّهَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ، فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَرُومُ أَنْ تَكُونَ نَاجِحًا وَصَحِيحًا، كَمَا أَنَّ نَفْسَكَ نَاجِحَةٌ.٢
3 For I reioyced greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in the trueth.
لِأَنِّي فَرِحْتُ جِدًّا إِذْ حَضَرَ إِخْوَةٌ وَشَهِدُوا بِٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيكَ، كَمَا أَنَّكَ تَسْلُكُ بِٱلْحَقِّ.٣
4 I haue no greater ioy then these, that is, to heare that my sonnes walke in veritie.
لَيْسَ لِي فَرَحٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ هَذَا: أَنْ أَسْمَعَ عَنْ أَوْلَادِي أَنَّهُمْ يَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ.٤
5 Beloued, thou doest faithfully, whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
أَيُّهَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ، أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ كُلَّ مَا تَصْنَعُهُ إِلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ وَإِلَى ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ،٥
6 Which bare witnesse of thy loue before the Churches. Whom if thou bringest on their iourney as it beseemeth according to God, thou shalt doe well,
ٱلَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا بِمَحَبَّتِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. ٱلَّذِينَ تَفْعَلُ حَسَنًا إِذَا شَيَّعْتَهُمْ كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِلهِ،٦
7 Because that for his Names sake they went forth, and tooke nothing of the Gentiles.
لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ خَرَجُوا، وَهُمْ لَا يَأْخُذُونَ شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.٧
8 We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be helpers to the trueth.
فَنَحْنُ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَقْبَلَ أَمْثَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ، لِكَيْ نَكُونَ عَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ.٨
9 I wrote vnto the Church: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not.
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ دِيُوتْرِيفِسَ - ٱلَّذِي يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ بَيْنَهُمْ - لَا يَقْبَلُنَا.٩
10 Wherefore if I come, I will call to your remembrance his deedes which he doeth, pratling against vs with malicious wordes, and not therewith content, neither he himselfe receiueth the brethren, but forbiddeth them that woulde, and thrusteth them out of the Church.
مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ، إِذَا جِئْتُ فَسَأُذَكِّرُهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِ ٱلَّتِي يَعْمَلُهَا، هَاذِرًا عَلَيْنَا بِأَقْوَالٍ خَبِيثَةٍ. وَإِذْ هُوَ غَيْرُ مُكْتَفٍ بِهَذِهِ، لَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْإِخْوَةَ، وَيَمْنَعُ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ، وَيَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ.١٠
11 Beloued, follow not that which is euill, but that which is good: he that doeth well, is of God: but he that doeth euill, hath not seene God.
أَيُّهَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ، لَا تَتَمَثَّلْ بِٱلشَّرِّ بَلْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ، لِأَنَّ مَنْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلْخَيْرَ هُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَمَنْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلشَّرَّ، فَلَمْ يُبْصِرِ ٱللهَ.١١
12 Demetrius hath good report of al men, and of the trueth it selfe: yea, and wee our selues beare recorde, and ye know that our record is true.
دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ مَشْهُودٌ لَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ وَمِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ نَفْسِهِ، وَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا نَشْهَدُ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَنَا هِيَ صَادِقَةٌ.١٢
13 I haue many things to write: but I will not with yncke and pen write vnto thee:
وَكَانَ لِي كَثِيرٌ لِأَكْتُبَهُ، لَكِنَّنِي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكَ بِحِبْرٍ وَقَلَمٍ.١٣
14 For I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace be with thee. The friends salute thee. Greete the friends by name.
وَلَكِنَّنِي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَرَاكَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ فَنَتَكَلَّمَ فَمًا لِفَمٍ. سَلَامٌ لَكَ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ. سَلِّمْ عَلَى ٱلْأَحِبَّاءِ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ.١٤
