3 Yanisa 1
1 Taape ciimazape, tumape ta siiqiza ta siiqqo laagge gayyosas.
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I truly love with divine love.
2 Ta ishazo, ne shempoy loo7on dizamala ne asatethay loo7o dana malane ne oothizazi wurikka nees giiga gidanamala ta nees wossays.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper concerning all things and be well, 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.
I rejoice exceedingly, the brethren coming and witnessing to thy truth, as thou art walking about in truth.
4 Gasoykka ta nayti loo7onne tuman smeretishin siisafe adhiza hara ufaysi tas deena.
I have no greater joy than this, that I may hear of my children walking about in truth.
5 Ta ishazo issti nes imath gidikokka nenii ne ishatas oothida mishe wurson amanistadasa.
Beloved, whatsoever faithful deed thou mayest do to the brethren, thou art also dispensing to the 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 witnessed to thy divine love before the church: whom you will do well, having sent forth worthily of God.
7 Ays gikko isti Xoossa amanontaytape aykokka ekonta Kirstossa suntha gish mela kezida.
For the sake of his name they went out, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
8 Hesa giish nu isippe tumas oothan mala heytanta malata mokkii ekana beses.
Therefore we ought to receive such, in order that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
9 Ta Wossa keethas hayssafe kase xafadis. Gido attiin kallethizade gidana koyiza Diyoxraxossay nu gizaz ekena.
I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, loving the preeminence over them, does not receive us.
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.
On account of this, if I may come, I will remember his works which he is doing, berating us with wicked speeches: and not content with these, he does not receive the brethren, and he prohibits them wishing to receive them, 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, imitate not the evil, but the good. The one doing good is of God: the one doing evil has not seen God.
12 Dimexrosas asi wuri loo7o markates. Tumaykka izas markataysu. Nukka izas markatos, intekka nu markkay tumu gididaysa ereta.
To Demetrius it has been testified by all, and by the truth itself: and we also testify: and you know that our testimony is true.
13 Ta nees xahaaththaana buro daro yoy dees shin ta nes waraqatan xahaaththaanas koyikke.
Having many things to write to you, but I do not wish to write them to you with ink and paper:
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 hope to see you immediately, and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace be unto you. The friends salute you; salute the friends by name.
