3 Yochanan 1
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲅⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ. ϯϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕϩⲓⲏ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲕⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲓⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉ.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
ⲇ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ. ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲉϥⲛ̅ϩⲟⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛ̅ϣⲙ̅ⲙⲟ.
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,
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲕⲛⲁⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲕⲑⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲡⲣⲁⲛ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲃ̅ⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first amongst them, doesn’t accept what we say.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲕⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁⲓⲣ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲇⲓⲟⲧⲣⲉⲫⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ϥϣⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϩⲱ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϥϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲕⲱⲗⲩⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲛⲅ̅ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲇⲏⲙⲏⲧⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉ.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϯϩⲁϩ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲥϩⲁⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲗⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲁϣ.
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.
