3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Jaarsicha irraa, Gara Gaayoos michuu koo, isa ani dhugaadhaan jaalladhuutti.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.
Yaa michuu ko, akkuma lubbuu keetti tole sana akka wanni hundinuu sitti toluu fi akka ati fayyaa qabaattuuf nan kadhadha.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Obboloonni tokko tokko dhufanii akka ati dhugaaf amanamaa taatee fi akka ati dhugaadhaan jiraattu natti himnaan ani akka malee gammade.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.
Ijoolleen koo dhugaadhaan jiraachuu isaanii dhagaʼuu caalaa ani gammachuu guddaa hin qabu.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Yaa michuu ko, yoo isaan keessummoota sitti taʼan illee ati waan obbolootaaf gootu keessatti amanamaa dha.
6 They have testified about your love before the church. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,
Isaan waaʼee jaalala keetii waldaa kiristaanaatti himaniiru. Maaloo haala Waaqatti toluun karaan isaanii irratti isaan gargaari.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the non-believers.
Isaan Maqaa isaatiif jedhanii utuu ormoota irraa gargaarsa tokko illee hin argatin baʼaniiruutii.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Kanaafuu nu akka isaan wajjin dhugaaf hojjennuuf namoota akkasii simannee gargaaruu qabna.
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.
Ani waldaa kiristaanaatiif barreesseera; garuu isaan keessaa Diiyoxiraaxiis inni duree taʼuu barbaadu nu hin simatu.
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, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the church.
Kanaafuu ani yoon dhufe waan inni maqaa keenya balleessuudhaan hojjechaa jiru ifatti nan baasa. Akka waan wanni kun isa hanqateetti inni obboloota simachuu dida. Warra isaan simachuu barbaadanis ni dhowwa; waldaa kiristaanaa keessaas isaan ariʼa.
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 hasn't seen God.
Yaa michuu ko, waan gaarii duukaa buʼi malee waan hamaa duukaa hin buʼin. Namni waan gaarii hojjetu kam iyyuu kan Waaqaa ti. Namni waan hamaa hojjetu garuu takkumaa Waaqa hin argine.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
Namni hundi Dimeexiroosiif dhugaa baʼa; dhugaan mataan ishee iyyuu dhugaa baati. Nus dhugaa baanaaf; isinis akka dhuga baʼumsi keenya dhugaa taʼe ni beektu.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Ani waanan siif barreessu baayʼee qaba; garuu biirii fi qalamiidhaan barreessuu hin barbaadu.
14 but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Qooda kanaa ani dhiʼootti si arguuf abdii qaba; nus ifaan ifatti ni haasofna. Nagaan siif haa taʼu. Michoonni as jiran nagaa siif dhaamu. Atis michoota achi jiran tokko tokkoon maqaa dhaʼiitii nagaa itti nuu himi.
