3John

Chapter 1

הַזָּקֵן אֶל־גָּיוֹס יְדִידִי אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי אׂהֵב אׂתוֹ בֶּאֱמֶת׃	א	1	The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
יְדִידִי רְצוֹנִי שֶׁיִּיטַב לְךָ לְכָל־דָּבָר וְתִהְיֶה בָרִיא כְּטוֹב לְנַפְשֶׁךָ׃	ב	2	Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
כִּי שָׂמַחְתִּי מְאׂד כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ אַחִים וַיָּעִידוּ עַל־אֲמִתֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר מִתְהַלֵּךְ אַתָּה בָּאֱמֶת׃	ג	3	For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
אֵין לִי שִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה מִלִּשְׁמׂעַ אֶת־בָּנַי מִתְהַלְּכִים בָּאֱמֶת׃	ד	4	Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
יְדִידִי בֶּאֱמוּנָה כָּל־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ עִם־הָאַחִים וְעִם־הָאׂרְחִים׃	ה	5	Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
אֲשֶׁר הֵעִידוּ עַל־אַהֲבָתְךָ בִּפְנֵי הַקָּהָל וְיָפֶה תַעֲשֶׂה לְשַׁלַּח אׂתָם כָּרָאוּי לִפְנֵי אֱלׂהִים׃	ו	6	who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
כִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ יָצָאוּ וְלׂא לָקְחוּ דָבָר מִן־הַגּוֹיִם׃	ז	7	because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
עַל־כֵּן עָלֵינוּ לְקַבֵּל אׂתָם לְמַעַן נִהְיֶה עׂזְרִים לָאֱמֶת׃	ח	8	We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
אֲנִי כָתַבְתִּי אֶל־הַקְּהִלָּה אֲבָל דִּיּוֹטְרִיפַס הַמִּתְאַוֶּה לִהְיוֹת לָהֶם לְרׂאשׁ אֵינֶנּוּ מְקַבֵּל אׂתָנוּ׃	ט	9	I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
עַל־כֵּן בְּבֹאִי אַזְכִּיר אֶת־מַעֲשָׂיו אֲשֶׁר הוּא עׂשֶׂה לְבַטֵּא עָלֵינוּ דְּבָרִים רָעִים וְלׂא דַּי־לוֹ בָזֶה כִּי גַם אֶת־הָאַחִים לׂא יְקַבֵּל וְיִמְנַע אֶת־הַחֲפֵצִים לְקַבְּלָם וַיְגָרֲשֵׁם מִתּוֹךְ הַקָּהָל׃	י	10	Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth
יְדִידִי אַל־תֵּלֵךְ בְּעִקְּבוֹת הָרָעָה כִּי אִם־בְּעִקְּבוֹת הַטּוֹב הָעׂשֶׂה טוֹב הוּא מֵאֱלׂהִים וְהָעׂשֶׂה רַע לׂא רָאָה אֶת־הָאֱלׂהִים׃	יא	11	Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
עַל־דְּמַטְרִיּוֹס הֵעִידוּ הַכּׂל וְגַם־הָאֱמֶת עַצְמָהּ וְגַם־אֲנַחְנוּ מְעִידִים עָלָיו וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי עֵדוּתֵנוּ נֶאֱמָנָה׃	יב	12	Demetrius hath the witness of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true.
הַרְבֵּה יֶשׁ־לִי לִכְתּׂב וְלׂא חָפַצְתִּי לִכְתּׂב אֵלֶיךָ בִּדְיוֹ וּבְקוֹלָמוֹס׃	יג	13	I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen:
אֲבָל אֲקַוֶּה לִרְאוֹתְךָ בִּמְהֵרָה וּפֶה אֶל־פֶּה נְדַבֵּר׃	יד	14	but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
