١ يوحنَّا 4
| أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، لَا تُصَدِّقُوا كُلَّ رُوحٍ، بَلِ ٱمْتَحِنُوا ٱلْأَرْوَاحَ: هَلْ هِيَ مِنَ ٱللهِ؟ لِأَنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ كَذَبَةً كَثِيرِينَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ. | ١ 1 |
Dear friends, don't trust every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to find out whether they're from God, for there are many false prophets out there in the world.
| بِهَذَا تَعْرِفُونَ رُوحَ ٱللهِ: كُلُّ رُوحٍ يَعْتَرِفُ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ فَهُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
How can you recognize God's Spirit? Every spirit that accepts Jesus Christ came with a human body is from God;
| 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. | ٣ 3 |
while every spirit that doesn't accept Jesus, that spirit isn't from God. In fact it is the spirit of the antichrist which you heard was coming, and which is already in the world.
| أَنْتُمْ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، وَقَدْ غَلَبْتُمُوهُمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. | ٤ 4 |
But you belong to God, my friends, and you have defeated them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
| هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَٱلْعَالَمُ يَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
They belong to the world, so they speak like people of the world, and the world listens to them.
| نَحْنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَمَنْ يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ يَسْمَعُ لَنَا، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ لَا يَسْمَعُ لَنَا. مِنْ هَذَا نَعْرِفُ رُوحَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَرُوحَ ٱلضَّلَالِ. | ٦ 6 |
We belong to God and whoever knows God listens to us, while whoever doesn't belong to God doesn't listen to us. This is how we can distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of deception.
| أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، لِنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ هِيَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ فَقَدْ وُلِدَ مِنَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ. | ٧ 7 |
Dear friends, let's go on loving one another, for love comes from God. All those who love are born of God and know God.
| وَمَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱللهَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَحَبَّةٌ. | ٨ 8 |
Those who don't love don't know God, for God is love.
| بِهَذَا أُظْهِرَتْ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ فِينَا: أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْوَحِيدَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ لِكَيْ نَحْيَا بِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
How was God's love shown to us? God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we could live through him.
| فِي هَذَا هِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ: لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَحْبَبْنَا ٱللهَ، بَلْ أَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا، وَأَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ كَفَّارَةً لِخَطَايَانَا. | ١٠ 10 |
This is love! It's not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and he sent his Son to be the reconciliation for our sins.
| أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّنَا هَكَذَا، يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا. | ١١ 11 |
Friends, if this is the way God loves us, we ought to love one another like this too.
| ٱللهُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ. إِنْ أَحَبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، فَٱللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا، وَمَحَبَّتُهُ قَدْ تَكَمَّلَتْ فِينَا. | ١٢ 12 |
No one has ever seen God. However, if we love one another then God lives in us, and his love is fulfilled in us.
| بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا نَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِينَا: أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَعْطَانَا مِنْ رُوحِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
How can we know that we live in him, and that he lives in us? He's given us the ability to love by his Spirit.
| وَنَحْنُ قَدْ نَظَرْنَا وَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱلِٱبْنَ مُخَلِّصًا لِلْعَالَمِ. | ١٤ 14 |
For we are witnesses to what we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
| مَنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ، فَٱللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِي ٱللهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
God lives in everyone who declares that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God.
| وَنَحْنُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا وَصَدَّقْنَا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي لِلهِ فِينَا. ٱللهُ مَحَبَّةٌ، وَمَنْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱللهِ وَٱللهُ فِيهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
We have experienced and trusted in the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them.
| بِهَذَا تَكَمَّلَتِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ فِينَا: أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا ثِقَةٌ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا هُوَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، هَكَذَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا. | ١٧ 17 |
This is how love is made complete in us so that we can be confident on judgment day: by the fact that we live just like him in this world.
| لَا خَوْفَ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، بَلِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ ٱلْكَامِلَةُ تَطْرَحُ ٱلْخَوْفَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَوْفَ لَهُ عَذَابٌ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَمَّلْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Where there is love there can be no fear. God loves us completely, and this love drives all our fears away. If we do fear, it's because we fear being punished, and this shows that we have not been fully re-made by the completeness of God's love.
| نَحْنُ نُحِبُّهُ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلًا. | ١٩ 19 |
We love because he loved us first.
| 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؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Anyone who says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, is a liar. Anyone who doesn't love a brother whom they can see, can't love God whom they can't see.
| وَلَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱللهَ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ أَيْضًا. | ٢١ 21 |
This is the command he gave to us: those who love God love their brothers and sisters too.
