3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth!
| ܩܫܝܫܐ ܠܓܐܝܘܤ ܚܒܝܒ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܪܪܐ |
2 Beloved, I desire you to prosper concerning all things, and to be in health, even as your soul prospers,
| ܚܒܝܒܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܬܨܠܚ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܚܠܝܡ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܡܨܠܚܐ ܢܦܫܟ |
3 for I rejoiced exceedingly, brothers coming and testifying of the truth in you, even as you walk in truth;
| ܚܕܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܘܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܟ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܐܢܬ |
4 I have no joy greater than these things, that I may hear of my children walking in truth.
| ܕܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܗܕܐ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܫܡܥ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ |
5 Beloved, you act faithfully in whatever you may do toward the brothers and the one [among] strangers,
| ܚܒܝܒܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܐ ܕܤܥܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܚܐ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ |
6 who testified of your love before an assembly, whom you will do well, having sent forward worthily of God,
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܤܗܕܘ ܥܠ ܚܘܒܟ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܙܘܕ ܐܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܦܐܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
7 because they went forth for [His] Name, receiving nothing from the nations;
| ܚܠܦ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܗ ܢܦܩܘ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ |
8 we, then, ought to receive such, that we may become fellow-workers to the truth.
| ܚܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܠܡܩܒܠܘ ܠܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܫܪܪܐ |
9 I wrote to the assembly, but he who is loving to be first among them—Diotrephes—does not receive us;
| ܒܥܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܘܛܪܦܝܤ ܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܢ |
10 because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he does, talking nonsense against us with evil words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and he forbids those intending [to receive them], and he casts [them] out of the assembly.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܥܗܕ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܒܡܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܤܬܪ ܠܢ ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܤܦܩ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܐܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܟܠܐ ܘܡܦܩ ܡܢ ܥܕܬܐ |
11 Beloved, do not be following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, he is of God, [but] he who is doing evil has not seen God;
| ܚܒܝܒܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܐ ܒܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܛܒܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
12 testimony has been given to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself, and we also—we testify, and you have known that our testimony is true.
| ܥܠ ܕܡܝܛܪܝܘܤ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܘܡܢܗ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܡܢܗ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܗܕܝܢܢ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ |
13 Many things I had to write, but I do not wish to write to you through ink and pen,
| ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܝܕ ܕܝܘܬܐ ܘܩܢܝܐ ܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟ |
14 and I hope to see you soon, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to you! The friends greet you. Be greeting the friends by name.
| ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܥܓܠ ܐܚܙܝܟ ܘܦܘܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܘܡܐ ܢܡܠܠܥ ܫܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܡܟ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܫܠܡܟ ܪܚܡܐ ܫܐܠ ܫܠܡܐ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܒܫܡܗ |
