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, (pneuma) but try the spirits (pneuma) 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 all of you the Spirit (pneuma) of God: Every spirit (pneuma) that confesses that Jesus Christ has 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 (pneuma) that confesses not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof all of you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

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

All of you are of God, 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 of the world, and the world hears 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 knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit (pneuma) of truth, and the spirit (pneuma) 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 (agape) is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.

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

He that loves not knows not God; for God is love. (agape)

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

In this was manifested the love (agape) of God toward us, because that God 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, (agape) 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 ought also to love one another.

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

No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love (agape) is perfected in us.

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

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. (pneuma)

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

And we have seen and do testify that the Father 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 dwells 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 have known and believed the love (agape) that God has to us. God is love; (agape) and he that dwells in love (agape) dwells in God, and God 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 our love (agape) made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, 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; (agape) but perfect love (agape) casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. (agape)

١٩ 19 نَحْنُ نُحِبُّهُ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلًا.

We love him, 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 hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has 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 loves God love his brother also.
