3 Yooxanaa 1
1 Anigoo odayga ah waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa gacaliye Gayos oo aan runta ku jeclahay.
The elder to Gaius the beloved, 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 pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.
3 Waayo, aad baan ugu farxay markii walaalo yimaadeen oo ka markhaati fureen runtaada iyo sidaad runta ugu socotid.
For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
4 Ma lihi farxad tan iiga weyn inaan maqlo in carruurtaydu ay runta ku socdaan.
I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.
5 Gacaliyow, aaminnimaad ku samaysaa shuqul kasta oo aad u samaysid walaalaha iyo shisheeyahaba.
Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
6 Iyagu jacaylkaagay kiniisadda horteeda kaga markhaati fureen. Wanaag baad samayn lahayd haddii aad iyaga u ambabbixisid sida Ilaah istaahilo;
They have testified about your love before the church. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,
7 maxaa yeelay, magiciisa aawadiis ayay u ambabbexeen iyagoo aan waxba ka qaadan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn.
because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the non-believers.
8 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa inagu waajib ah inaynu kuwaas oo kale soo dhowayno, si aynu u noqonno kuwa runta kala wada shaqeeya iyaga.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
9 Wax baan kiniisadda u soo qoray, laakiinse Diyotrefees oo jecel inuu iyaga ka sarreeyo, na aqbali maayo.
I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.
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, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws 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 imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't 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.
Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you 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 to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
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.
but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
