3 John 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
Daga dattijon zuwa ga Gayus, wanda nake kauna da gaske.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Ya kaunatace na, ina addu'a domin ka samu albarka cikin kowanne al'amari, da kuma koshin lafiya, kamar yadda ruhun ka yake lafiya.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
Na yi farin ciki kwarai sa'adda wadansu 'yan'uwa suka zo suka ba da shaida a kan bangaskiyar ka, kamar yadda ka ke bin gaskiya.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
Ba abin da ya fi faranta mani rai kamar in ji yayana suna tafiya cikin gaskiya.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
Ya kaunatace na, kana aiki da aminci zuwa ga 'yan'uwa da baki,
6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
wadanda suka shaida kaunar ka a gaban ikilisiya. Zai yi kyau ka yi masu taimako da kyakkyawar salama, ta hanyar da ta dace da masu ibada,
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
domin sabili da sunan nan ne suka fito, ba su kuma karbar kome a hannun al'ummai.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
Don haka ya kamata mu karbi irin wadannan mutane, domin mu zama abokan aiki tare da su a kan gaskiya.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Na rubuta wasika zuwa ga ikilisiya, amma Diyotariffis, wanda ya fi kowa son girma a cikinsu, bai karbe mu ba.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
Saboda haka, idan na zo, zan tuna masa da irin ayukkan sa, da kuma yadda yake babbata sunayen mu a wurin jama'a da miyagun kalmomi. Wannan ma bai ishe shi ba, har ma yana kin karbar 'yan'uwa. Ya kuma hana wadanda suke son su yin hakan, harma ya kan kore su daga ikilisiya.
11 Beloved, don’t 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.
Ya kaunatace na, kada ka yi koyi da mugun abu, sai dai abu mai kyau. Dukan wanda yake yin abu mai kyau na Allah ne; mai aikata mugunta kuma bai san Allah ba.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
Dimitiriyas yana da kyakkyawar shaida a gun kowa har a wurin gaskiyar da kanta. Mu ma mun shaida shi, ka kuma san shaidar mu gaskiya ce.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
Ina da abubuwa dayawa da zan rubuta maka, amma ban so in rubuta maka su da alkalami da tawada ba.
14 but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Ina sa zuciya mu sadu ba da dadewa ba, sa'annan mu yi magana ido da ido. Bari salama ta kasance tare da kai. Abokanmu suna gaishe ka, kuma ka isadda sakon gaisuwar mu ga sauran abokai da sunayen su.
