1 T he elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

Anigoo odayga ah waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa gacaliye Gayos oo aan runta ku jeclahay.

2 B eloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Gacaliyow, waxaan kuugu duceeyaa inaad wax kasta ku liibaantid oo aad caafimaad qabtid siday naftaadu u liibaansan tahay.

3 F or I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

Waayo, aad baan ugu farxay markii walaalo yimaadeen oo ka markhaati fureen runtaada iyo sidaad runta ugu socotid.

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Ma lihi farxad tan iiga weyn inaan maqlo in carruurtaydu ay runta ku socdaan.

5 B eloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;

Gacaliyow, aaminnimaad ku samaysaa shuqul kasta oo aad u samaysid walaalaha iyo shisheeyahaba.

6 W hich have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

Iyagu jacaylkaagay kiniisadda horteeda kaga markhaati fureen. Wanaag baad samayn lahayd haddii aad iyaga u ambabbixisid sida Ilaah istaahilo;

7 B ecause that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

maxaa yeelay, magiciisa aawadiis ayay u ambabbexeen iyagoo aan waxba ka qaadan dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn.

8 W e therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa inagu waajib ah inaynu kuwaas oo kale soo dhowayno, si aynu u noqonno kuwa runta kala wada shaqeeya iyaga. Khilaaf Baa Kiniisadda Ku Jiray

9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

Wax baan kiniisadda u soo qoray, laakiinse Diyotrefees oo jecel inuu iyaga ka sarreeyo, na aqbali maayo.

10 W herefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

Sidaas daraaddeed, haddaan imaado, waxaan xusuusin doonaa shuqulladiisa uu sameeyo isagoo hadallo xunxun nagu shubaya. Taasu kuma filla isaga, mana aqbalo walaalaha, kuwii aqbali lahaana wuu u diidaa, kiniisaddana wuu ka eryaa.

11 B eloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Gacaliyow, ha ku dayan waxa sharka ah, laakiinse ku dayo waxa wanaagsan. Ka samafalaa waa ku Ilaah, ka shar falaase Ilaah ma uu arkin.

12 D emetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

Dadka oo dhammu way u markhaati furaan Deemeetriyos, runta qudheedu way u markhaati furtaa, annaguna waannu u markhaati furnaa, waanad og tahay in markhaatifurkayagu run yahay.

13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

Waxaan hayay waxyaalo badan oo aan kuu soo qoro, laakiinse dooni maayo inaan qalin iyo khad kuugu soo qoro.

14 B ut I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

Laakiin waxaan rajaynayaa inaan dhowaan ku arko, oo aynu afkeenna iskula hadli doonno. Nabadu ha kula jirto. Saaxiibbadii way ku soo salaamayaan. Saaxiibbada igu salaan mid kasta intaad magiciisa ugu yeedhid.
