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, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

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

in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,

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 doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

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

Ye — of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.

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

They — of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear 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 — of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

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

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

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

he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

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

In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son — the only begotten — hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

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

in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

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

Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

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

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

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

in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

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

And we — we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son — Saviour of the world;

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

whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, 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 — we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, 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.

In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we — we also are 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.

fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

١٩ 19 نَحْنُ نُحِبُّهُ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلًا.

we — we love him, because He — 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 any one may say — 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God — whom he hath not seen — how is he able to love?

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

and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
