3 Yooxanaa 1
1 Anigoo odayga ah waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa gacaliye Gayos oo aan runta ku jeclahay.
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Gacaliyow, waxaan kuugu duceeyaa inaad wax kasta ku liibaantid oo aad caafimaad qabtid siday naftaadu u liibaansan tahay.
Beloved, I earnestly pray, that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.
3 Waayo, aad baan ugu farxay markii walaalo yimaadeen oo ka markhaati fureen runtaada iyo sidaad runta ugu socotid.
For I greatly rejoiced, when the brethren came, and bore testimony to thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
4 Ma lihi farxad tan iiga weyn inaan maqlo in carruurtaydu ay runta ku socdaan.
And I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Gacaliyow, aaminnimaad ku samaysaa shuqul kasta oo aad u samaysid walaalaha iyo shisheeyahaba.
Beloved, thou actest faithfully in whatsoever service thou dost to the brethren, and to strangers too;
6 Iyagu jacaylkaagay kiniisadda horteeda kaga markhaati fureen. Wanaag baad samayn lahayd haddii aad iyaga u ambabbixisid sida Ilaah istaahilo;
who have borne witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well in forwarding, as is worthy of God.
7 maxaa yeelay, magiciisa aawadiis ayay u ambabbexeen iyagoo aan waxba ka qaadan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn.
For they went forth for his name's sake, taking nothing of the gentiles.
8 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa inagu waajib ah inaynu kuwaas oo kale soo dhowayno, si aynu u noqonno kuwa runta kala wada shaqeeya iyaga.
We ought therefore to receive such, that we may become fellow-laborers in the truth.
9 Wax baan kiniisadda u soo qoray, laakiinse Diyotrefees oo jecel inuu iyaga ka sarreeyo, na aqbali maayo.
I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, who affects the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
10 Sidaas daraaddeed, haddaan imaado, waxaan xusuusin doonaa shuqulladiisa uu sameeyo isagoo hadallo xunxun nagu shubaya. Taasu kuma filla isaga, mana aqbalo walaalaha, kuwii aqbali lahaana wuu u diidaa, kiniisaddana wuu ka eryaa.
Therefore when I come, I will remember his deeds, prating against us with wicked words: and not content with these, he neither receiveth the brethren himself, nor suffers those that would; and casteth them out of the church.
11 Gacaliyow, ha ku dayan waxa sharka ah, laakiinse ku dayo waxa wanaagsan. Ka samafalaa waa ku Ilaah, ka shar falaase Ilaah ma uu arkin.
Beloved, do not thou follow that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good is of God: but he, that doth evil, hath not seen God.
12 Dadka oo dhammu way u markhaati furaan Deemeetriyos, runta qudheedu way u markhaati furtaa, annaguna waannu u markhaati furnaa, waanad og tahay in markhaatifurkayagu run yahay.
A good testimony is borne to Demetrius by all men, and by the truth itself: yea, and we also bear him like witness, and ye know that our testimony is true.
13 Waxaan hayay waxyaalo badan oo aan kuu soo qoro, laakiinse dooni maayo inaan qalin iyo khad kuugu soo qoro.
I had many things to write: but I would not write to thee with pen and ink;
14 Laakiin waxaan rajaynayaa inaan dhowaan ku arko, oo aynu afkeenna iskula hadli doonno. Nabadu ha kula jirto. Saaxiibbadii way ku soo salaamayaan. Saaxiibbada igu salaan mid kasta intaad magiciisa ugu yeedhid.
for I hope to see thee soon, and we shall speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
