١ يوحنَّا 4

١ 1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، لَا تُصَدِّقُوا كُلَّ رُوحٍ، بَلِ ٱمْتَحِنُوا ٱلْأَرْوَاحَ: هَلْ هِيَ مِنَ ٱللهِ؟ لِأَنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ كَذَبَةً كَثِيرِينَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

٢ 2 بِهَذَا تَعْرِفُونَ رُوحَ ٱللهِ: كُلُّ رُوحٍ يَعْتَرِفُ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ فَهُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ،

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

٣ 3 وَكُلُّ رُوحٍ لَا يَعْتَرِفُ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَلَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ. وَهَذَا هُوَ رُوحُ ضِدِّ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي، وَٱلْآنَ هُوَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ.

and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.

٤ 4 أَنْتُمْ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، وَقَدْ غَلَبْتُمُوهُمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ.

Ye are of God, [my] little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

٥ 5 هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَٱلْعَالَمُ يَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ.

They are of the world: therefore speak they [as] of the world, and the world heareth them.

٦ 6 نَحْنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَمَنْ يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ يَسْمَعُ لَنَا، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ لَا يَسْمَعُ لَنَا. مِنْ هَذَا نَعْرِفُ رُوحَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَرُوحَ ٱلضَّلَالِ.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

٧ 7 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، لِنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ هِيَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ فَقَدْ وُلِدَ مِنَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

٨ 8 وَمَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱللهَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَحَبَّةٌ.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

٩ 9 بِهَذَا أُظْهِرَتْ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ فِينَا: أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْوَحِيدَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ لِكَيْ نَحْيَا بِهِ.

Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

١٠ 10 فِي هَذَا هِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ: لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَحْبَبْنَا ٱللهَ، بَلْ أَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا، وَأَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ كَفَّارَةً لِخَطَايَانَا.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

١١ 11 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّنَا هَكَذَا، يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

١٢ 12 ٱللهُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ. إِنْ أَحَبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، فَٱللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا، وَمَحَبَّتُهُ قَدْ تَكَمَّلَتْ فِينَا.

No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

١٣ 13 بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا نَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِينَا: أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَعْطَانَا مِنْ رُوحِهِ.

hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

١٤ 14 وَنَحْنُ قَدْ نَظَرْنَا وَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱلِٱبْنَ مُخَلِّصًا لِلْعَالَمِ.

And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

١٥ 15 مَنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ، فَٱللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِي ٱللهِ.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

١٦ 16 وَنَحْنُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا وَصَدَّقْنَا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي لِلهِ فِينَا. ٱللهُ مَحَبَّةٌ، وَمَنْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱللهِ وَٱللهُ فِيهِ.

And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

١٧ 17 بِهَذَا تَكَمَّلَتِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ فِينَا: أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا ثِقَةٌ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا هُوَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، هَكَذَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا.

Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

١٨ 18 لَا خَوْفَ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، بَلِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ ٱلْكَامِلَةُ تَطْرَحُ ٱلْخَوْفَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَوْفَ لَهُ عَذَابٌ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَمَّلْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ.

There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

١٩ 19 نَحْنُ نُحِبُّهُ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلًا.

We love, because he first loved us.

٢٠ 20 إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ: «إِنِّي أُحِبُّ ٱللهَ» وَأَبْغَضَ أَخَاهُ، فَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ. لِأَنَّ مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ ٱلَّذِي أَبْصَرَهُ، كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُحِبَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ؟

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

٢١ 21 وَلَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱللهَ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ أَيْضًا.

And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
