3 John 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 The Presbyter to the beloved Gaius whom I love in truth.	1 ܩܫܝܫܐ ܠܓܐܝܘܤ ܚܒܝܒ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܀
2 Beloved, I hope you are prospering in every respect and are in good health, just as your soul is prospering.	2 ܚܒܝܒܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܬܨܠܚ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܚܠܝܡ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܡܨܠܚܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܀
3 I rejoiced greatly when some of the brothers came and testified to how truly you walk in the truth.	3 ܚܕܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܘܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܟ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܐܢܬ ܀
4 Nothing gives me greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.	4 ܕܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܗܕܐ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܫܡܥ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܀
5 Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers, especially for strangers;	5 ܚܒܝܒܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܐ ܕܤܥܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܚܐ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܀
6 they have testified to your love before the church. Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.	6 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܤܗܕܘ ܥܠ ܚܘܒܟ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܙܘܕ ܐܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܦܐܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀
7 For they have set out for the sake of the Name and are accepting nothing from the pagans.	7 ܚܠܦ ܓܝܪ ܫܡܗ ܢܦܩܘ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܀
8 Therefore, we ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.	8 ܚܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܠܡܩܒܠܘ ܠܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܫܪܪܐ ܀
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to dominate, does not acknowledge us.	9 ܒܥܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܘܛܪܦܝܤ ܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܢ ܀
10 Therefore, if I come, I will draw attention to what he is doing, spreading evil nonsense about us. And not content with that, he will not receive the brothers, hindering those who wish to do so and expelling them from the church.	10 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܥܗܕ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܒܡܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܤܬܪ ܠܢ ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܤܦܩ ܠܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܐܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܟܠܐ ܘܡܦܩ ܡܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܀
11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does what is good is of God; whoever does what is evil has never seen God.	11 ܚܒܝܒܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܐ ܒܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܛܒܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀
12 Demetrius receives a good report from all, even from the truth itself. We give our testimonial as well, and you know our testimony is true.	12 ܥܠ ܕܡܝܛܪܝܘܤ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܘܡܢܗ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܡܢܗ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܤܗܕܝܢܢ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܀
13 I have much to write to you, but I do not wish to write with pen and ink.	13 ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܝܕ ܕܝܘܬܐ ܘܩܢܝܐ ܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟ ܀
14 Instead, I hope to see you soon, when we can talk face to face.	14 ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܥܓܠ ܐܚܙܝܟ ܘܦܘܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܘܡܐ ܢܡܠܠܥ 1 : 51 ) ܫܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܡܟ ܫܐܠܝܢ ܫܠܡܟ ܪܚܡܐ ܫܐܠ ܫܠܡܐ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܒܫܡܗ ܀
15 Peace be with you. The friends greet you; greet the friends there each by name.
