Yuⱨanna 3 1

1 Mǝnki aⱪsaⱪal ɵzüm ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝttǝ sɵygǝn sɵyümlük Gayusⱪa salam!

From the elder to his dear friend Gaius, whom he sincerely loves.

2 I sɵyümkük [dostum], jening güllǝngǝndǝk, ⱨǝmmǝ ixliringning güllinixigǝ wǝ teningning salamǝt boluxiƣa tilǝkdaxmǝn.

Dear friend, I pray that all may be well with you and that you may have good health – I know that all is well with your soul.

3 Ⱪerindaxlar kelip, sǝndǝ bolƣan ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝt toƣruluⱪ guwaⱨliⱪ bǝrgǝndǝ, mǝn intayin bǝk huxallandim; qünki sǝn ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝttǝ dawamliⱪ mengiwatisǝn.

For it was a great joy to me, when some followers of the Lord came and testified to your fidelity to the truth. I know that your own life is guided by the truth.

4 Manga nisbǝtǝn, ǝziz balilirimning ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝttǝ mengiwatⱪanliⱪini anglaxtinmu qong huxalliⱪ yoⱪtur.

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to hear from time to time that the lives of my children are guided by the truth.

5 Sɵyümlük [dostum], yeningƣa barƣan ⱪerindaxlarƣa (gǝrqǝ ular sanga natonux bolsimu) ⱪilƣanliringning ⱨǝmmisidǝ ihlasmǝnliking ispatlinidu.

Dear friend, you are faithful in all the things you do for other followers – even when they are strangers to you.

6 Ular jamaǝt aldida sening bu meⱨir-muⱨǝbbiting toƣrisida guwaⱨliⱪ bǝrdi. Ularni yǝnǝ Hudaning yoliƣa layiⱪ sǝpirigǝ uzitip ⱪoysang, yahxi ⱪilƣan bolisǝn.

They themselves have testified before the church to your love. You will do well to help them on their way in a manner worthy of the service of God.

7 Qünki ular [sǝpǝrdǝ] yat ǝllik [etiⱪadsizlardin] ⱨeq nemǝ almay, xu mubarǝk nam üqün yolƣa qiⱪti.

For it was on behalf of Christ’s name that they set out, not accepting even one thing from the Gentiles.

8 Xunga, ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝt bilǝn hizmǝtdax bolup tǝng ixligüqi bolux üqün biz xundaⱪlarni ⱪollap-ⱪuwwǝtliximizgǝ toƣra kelidu.

Therefore, we should support people like them, and so take our share in their work for the truth.

9 Bu toƣruluⱪ jamaǝtkǝ mǝktüp yazdim. Lekin ularning arisida ɵzini qong tutup, jamaǝtkǝ bax bolux tǝmǝsidǝ bolƣan Diotrǝpǝs bizni ⱪobul ⱪilmaydu.

I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes (who loves to be the leader among them) doesn’t welcome us.

10 Xuning üqün mǝn barƣanda, uning ⱪilƣan ǝskiliklirini, yǝni uning bizning üstimizdin ⱪilƣan rǝzil sɵzliri bilǝn ƣǝywitini yüzigǝ salimǝn; u uningliⱪ bilǝnla tohtap ⱪalmaydu, yǝnǝ [sǝpǝrdiki] ⱪerindaxlarni ⱪobul ⱪilmayla ⱪalmay, ⱪobul ⱪilmaⱪqi bolƣanlarnimu tosidu wǝ ⱨǝtta ularni jamaǝttin ⱪoƣlap qiⱪiriwatidu.

So if I come, I will bring up his actions in telling wicked nonsense about us. Not content with that, he not only refuses to personally welcome our friends who are followers, but actually stops those who would, and expels them from the church.

11 I sɵyümlük [dostum], yamanliⱪtin ǝmǝs, yahxiliⱪtin ülgǝ alƣin. Yahxiliⱪ ⱪilƣuqi Hudadindur. Yamanliⱪ ⱪilƣuqi Hudani ⱨeq kɵrmigǝndur.

Dear friend, do not follow a bad example, but a good one. The person who does what is good is from God; the person who does what is bad has never seen God.

12 Demitriusni bolsa ⱨǝmmǝylǝn, ⱨǝtta Ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝtning ɵzi yahxi guwaⱨliⱪ berip tǝriplǝydu. Bizmu uningƣa guwaⱨliⱪ berimiz wǝ guwaⱨliⱪimizning ⱨǝⱪiⱪǝt ikǝnlikini sǝnmu bilisǝn.

Everyone has always had a good word for Demetrius, and the truth itself speaks for him. Yes, and we also add our good word, and you know that what we say is true.

13 Sanga yazidiƣan yǝnǝ kɵp sɵzlirim bar idi; lekin ⱪǝlǝm bilǝn siyaⱨni ixlǝtkǝndin kɵrǝ,

I have many things to tell you, but I would rather not use pen and ink.

14 Sǝn bilǝn pat arida didar kɵrüxüxni arzu ⱪilimǝn; xu qaƣda dǝrⱪǝmdǝ sɵzliximiz. Sanga hatirjǝmlik yar bolƣay! Dostlardin sanga salam. Sǝnmu [u yǝrdiki] dostlarƣa isim-famililiri boyiqǝ mǝndin salam eytⱪaysǝn.

I hope to see you soon, and then we will speak face to face. Peace be with you. The friends here send you their greetings. Greet each one of our friends.
