3 Yanisa 1
1 Taape ciimazape, tumape ta siiqiza ta siiqqo laagge gayyosas.
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in 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 in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
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 brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
4 Gasoykka ta nayti loo7onne tuman smeretishin siisafe adhiza hara ufaysi tas deena.
Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5 Ta ishazo issti nes imath gidikokka nenii ne ishatas oothida mishe wurson amanistadasa.
Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
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 bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
7 Ays gikko isti Xoossa amanontaytape aykokka ekonta Kirstossa suntha gish mela kezida.
because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 Hesa giish nu isippe tumas oothan mala heytanta malata mokkii ekana beses.
We therefore ought to welcome such, 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 somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth 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 bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth, and casteth [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 that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
12 Dimexrosas asi wuri loo7o markates. Tumaykka izas markataysu. Nukka izas markatos, intekka nu markkay tumu gididaysa ereta.
Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true.
13 Ta nees xahaaththaana buro daro yoy dees shin ta nes waraqatan xahaaththaanas koyikke.
I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee 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 hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
