3 Yanisa 1
1 Taape ciimazape, tumape ta siiqiza ta siiqqo laagge gayyosas.
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 Ta ishazo, ne shempoy loo7on dizamala ne asatethay loo7o dana malane ne oothizazi wurikka nees giiga gidanamala ta nees wossays.
Beloved, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
3 Ne tumas amanetidade gidida mala qassekka ne hanoy wuri tumu gididaysa isi isi amaniza asati taakko yidi ne gish yotiin siyada ta daro ufa7istadis.
For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified to the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.
4 Gasoykka ta nayti loo7onne tuman smeretishin siisafe adhiza hara ufaysi tas deena.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Ta ishazo issti nes imath gidikokka nenii ne ishatas oothida mishe wurson amanistadasa.
Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do to the brethren, and to strangers,
6 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.
who have testified to your love before the church: if you conduct these on their journey, in a manner worthy of God, you will do well:
7 Ays gikko isti Xoossa amanontaytape aykokka ekonta Kirstossa suntha gish mela kezida.
for, on account of his name, they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 Hesa giish nu isippe tumas oothan mala heytanta malata mokkii ekana beses.
We, therefore, ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-helpers to the truth.
9 Ta Wossa keethas hayssafe kase xafadis. Gido attiin kallethizade gidana koyiza Diyoxraxossay nu gizaz ekena.
I wrote to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the pre-eminence among them, receives us not.
10 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.
Therefore, if I come, I will remember his works which he does, prating against us with malicious words: and not content with these things, he does not himself receive the brethren, but both forbids those who are willing, and casts them out of the church.
11 Ta ishazo, loo7ota milata attiin ita asata milatopa. Loo7o oothizadey wurikka Xoossa asa. Ita oothizadey qasse Xooss beybeyna.
Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: he that does evil has not seen God.
12 Dimexrosas asi wuri loo7o markates. Tumaykka izas markataysu. Nukka izas markatos, intekka nu markkay tumu gididaysa ereta.
A good report is given of Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself: and we also give our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.
13 Ta nees xahaaththaana buro daro yoy dees shin ta nes waraqatan xahaaththaanas koyikke.
I had many things to write, but I will not communicate them to you with ink and pen.
14 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.
But I trust that I shall shortly see you, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to you. Our friends here salute you. Salute our friends with you by name.
