3 John 1
1 The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Taani tumaa dosiya Gaayoosas, taani cimay kiittida kiita.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Ta siiquwaw, neeni ne shemppuwan lo77o de7eyssa ta ereyssada new payyatethi daana melanne ne oothiyabay suurana mela new Xoossaa woossays.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
Guutha ammaniyaa asati yidi, ubba wode neeni tuman de7eyssanne ne tumatethabaa markkattida wode taani daro ufayttas.
4 Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
Ta nayti tumatethan de7eyssa si7eyssafe aadhdhidi, tana ufayssiyabay baawa.
5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
Ta siiquwaw, entti new imathe gidikkoka, neeni ammaniyaa asatas ammanthiya ooso oothaasa.
6 who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
Entti ne siiquwabaa woosa keethan markkattoosona. Ha77ika entti biya ogiyan Xoossay doseyssada oothada entta maaddiko lo77o oothaasa.
7 because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
Entti Kiristtoosa sunthaa gisho keyishe, ammanonna asatappe aykkoka ekkibookkonna.
8 We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
Nuuni tuma oosuwa enttara issife oothanaw hayssa mela asata maaddanaw bessees.
9 I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
Taani woosa keethatas dabddaabbe xaafas, shin entta halaqaa gidanaw koyaa Diyotirafiisi nuuni geyssa ekkenna.
10 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.
Hessa gisho, taani yaa biya wode I nu bolla odettiya iita odanne I oothida oosuwa odana. I hessi guuxis gidi, nu ishati yaa wode mokkenna. Hari attoshin, entta mokkanaw koyeyssatakka diggidi woosa keethafe kessees.
11 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.
Ta siiquwaw, lo77obaa daanappe attin iitabaa daanoppa. Lo77obaa oothiya oonikka Xoossaa asi, shin iitabaa oothiya oonikka Xoossaa be7ibeenna.
12 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.
Dimexiroosi lo77o asi gideyssa asa ubbay markkattees. Tumay ba huu7en iyabaa markkattees; nukka iyabaa markkattoos; nu markkatethay tuma gideyssa hintte ereeta.
13 I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen:
Taani new xaafanaw koyida darobay de7ees, shin qalameninne worqqaten xaafanaw koyikke.
14 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.
Shin taani matara neera gayttanaw qoppays; he wode nuuni odettana. Saroy new gido. Ne dabboti nena saro yaagosona. Nu dabbota ubbaa entta sunthaa sunthaa xeegada tana “Saro gis” yaaga.
