1 A nigoo odayga ah waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa gacaliye Gayos oo aan runta ku jeclahay.

The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

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

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

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

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

4 M a lihi farxad tan iiga weyn inaan maqlo in carruurtaydu ay runta ku socdaan.

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

5 G acaliyow, aaminnimaad ku samaysaa shuqul kasta oo aad u samaysid walaalaha iyo shisheeyahaba.

Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;

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

Which 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:

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

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

8 S idaas 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

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

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

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

10 S idaas 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.

Wherefore, 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.

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

Beloved, 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.

12 D adka 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.

Demetrius 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.

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

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

14 L aakiin 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.

But 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.
