3 Yanisa 1
1 Taape ciimazape, tumape ta siiqiza ta siiqqo laagge gayyosas.
The elder, to Gaius, the beloved, 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, that with respect to all things, 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 bore witness to your truth, even as you walk in truth.
4 Gasoykka ta nayti loo7onne tuman smeretishin siisafe adhiza hara ufaysi tas deena.
I have no greater joy than that which I have when I hear my children are walking in truth.
5 Ta ishazo issti nes imath gidikokka nenii ne ishatas oothida mishe wurson amanistadasa.
Beloved, you do faithfully what you perform for the brethren, and for 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.
These have borne testimony to your love, in the presence of the congregation; whom, if you help forward 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.
Because for his name's sake, they went forth, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
8 Hesa giish nu isippe tumas oothan mala heytanta malata mokkii ekana beses.
We, therefore, ought to entertain such, that we may be joint laborers in the truth.
9 Ta Wossa keethas hayssafe kase xafadis. Gido attiin kallethizade gidana koyiza Diyoxraxossay nu gizaz ekena.
I wrote to the congregation: but Diotrephes, who affects a pre-eminence among 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.
For this cause, when I come, I will bring his deeds to remembrance, which he practices--prating against us with malicious words; and, not content with this, he does not himself receive the brethren, and forbids them who would, and casts them out of the congregation.
11 Ta ishazo, loo7ota milata attiin ita asata milatopa. Loo7o oothizadey wurikka Xoossa asa. Ita oothizadey qasse Xooss beybeyna.
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good, is of God; but he who does evil, has not seen God.
12 Dimexrosas asi wuri loo7o markates. Tumaykka izas markataysu. Nukka izas markatos, intekka nu markkay tumu gididaysa ereta.
Testimony is borne to Demetrius, by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear testimony; and you know that our testimony is true.
13 Ta nees xahaaththaana buro daro yoy dees shin ta nes waraqatan xahaaththaanas koyikke.
I have many things to write; but I do not incline to write them to you with pen and ink:
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.
for I hope immediately to see you, and so we shall speak face to face. Salute the friends by name.
