٣ يوحنَّا 1

١ 1 اَلشَّيْخُ، إِلَى غَايُسَ ٱلْحَبِيبِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أُحِبُّهُ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.

٢ 2 أَيُّهَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ، فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَرُومُ أَنْ تَكُونَ نَاجِحًا وَصَحِيحًا، كَمَا أَنَّ نَفْسَكَ نَاجِحَةٌ.

Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.

٣ 3 لِأَنِّي فَرِحْتُ جِدًّا إِذْ حَضَرَ إِخْوَةٌ وَشَهِدُوا بِٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيكَ، كَمَا أَنَّكَ تَسْلُكُ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, even as you yourself in truth are walking.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ لِي فَرَحٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ هَذَا: أَنْ أَسْمَعَ عَنْ أَوْلَادِي أَنَّهُمْ يَسْلُكُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.

٥ 5 أَيُّهَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ، أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُ بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ كُلَّ مَا تَصْنَعُهُ إِلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ وَإِلَى ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ،

Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا بِمَحَبَّتِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. ٱلَّذِينَ تَفْعَلُ حَسَنًا إِذَا شَيَّعْتَهُمْ كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِلهِ،

who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ خَرَجُوا، وَهُمْ لَا يَأْخُذُونَ شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)

٨ 8 فَنَحْنُ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَقْبَلَ أَمْثَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ، لِكَيْ نَكُونَ عَامِلِينَ مَعَهُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.

٩ 9 كَتَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ دِيُوتْرِيفِسَ - ٱلَّذِي يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ بَيْنَهُمْ - لَا يَقْبَلُنَا.

I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.

١٠ 10 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ، إِذَا جِئْتُ فَسَأُذَكِّرُهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِ ٱلَّتِي يَعْمَلُهَا، هَاذِرًا عَلَيْنَا بِأَقْوَالٍ خَبِيثَةٍ. وَإِذْ هُوَ غَيْرُ مُكْتَفٍ بِهَذِهِ، لَا يَقْبَلُ ٱلْإِخْوَةَ، وَيَمْنَعُ أَيْضًا ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ، وَيَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ.

Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing he forbids and from the church he casts [them] out.

١١ 11 أَيُّهَا ٱلْحَبِيبُ، لَا تَتَمَثَّلْ بِٱلشَّرِّ بَلْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ، لِأَنَّ مَنْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلْخَيْرَ هُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَمَنْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلشَّرَّ، فَلَمْ يُبْصِرِ ٱللهَ.

Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil but what [is] good. The [one] doing good of God is; the [one] (now *k*) doing evil not has seen God.

١٢ 12 دِيمِتْرِيُوسُ مَشْهُودٌ لَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ وَمِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ نَفْسِهِ، وَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا نَشْهَدُ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَنَا هِيَ صَادِقَةٌ.

To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N(k)O*) that the testimony of us true is.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لِي كَثِيرٌ لِأَكْتُبَهُ، لَكِنَّنِي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكَ بِحِبْرٍ وَقَلَمٍ.

Many things I had (to write *N(k)O*) (to you, *no*) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N(k)O*)

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَرَاكَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ فَنَتَكَلَّمَ فَمًا لِفَمٍ. سَلَامٌ لَكَ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ. سَلِّمْ عَلَى ٱلْأَحِبَّاءِ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ.

I hope however soon you to see and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace to you. Greet you the friends. do greet the friends by name.
