1 يوحنَّا 2

١ 1 يَا أَوْلادِي الصِّغَارَ، أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ لِكَيْ لَا تُخْطِئُوا. وَلكِنْ، إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدُكُمْ، فَلَنَا عِنْدَ الآبِ شَفِيعٌ هُوَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ الْبَارُّ.

My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

٢ 2 فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِخَطَايَانَا، لَا لِخَطَايَانَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِخَطَايَا الْعَالَمِ كُلِّهِ.

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

٣ 3 وَمَا يُؤَكِّدُ لَنَا أَنَّنَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ حَقّاً هُوَ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ بِوَصَايَاهُ.

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

٤ 4 فَالَّذِي يَدَّعِي أَنَّهُ قَدْ عَرَفَهُ، وَلكِنَّهُ لَا يَعْمَلُ بِوَصَايَاهُ، يَكُونُ كَاذِباً وَلا يَكُونُ الْحَقُّ فِي دَاخِلِهِ.

One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

٥ 5 أَمَّا الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِحَسَبِ كَلِمَتِهِ، فَإِنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ تَكُونُ قَدِ اكْتَمَلَتْ فِي دَاخِلِهِ. بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا نَنْتَمِي إِلَيْهِ.

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

٦ 6 كُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفْ أَنَّهُ ثَابِتٌ فِيهِ، يَلْتَزِمْ أَنْ يَسْلُكَ كَمَا سَلَكَ الْمَسِيحُ.

he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

٧ 7 أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، أَنَا لَا أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هُنَا وَصِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً، بَلْ وَصِيَّةً قَدِيمَةً كَانَتْ عِنْدَكُمْ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ، وَهِيَ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُمُوهَا قَبْلاً.

Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

٨ 8 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَالْوَصِيَّةُ الَّتِي أَكْتُبُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ، هِيَ جَدِيدَةٌ دَائِماً، وَتَتَّضِحُ حَقِيقَتُهَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ كَمَا تَتَّضِحُ فِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ. ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الظَّلامَ قَدْ بَدَأَ يَزُولُ مُنْذُ أَنْ أَشْرَقَ النُّورُ الْحَقِيقِيُّ الَّذِي مَازَالَ الآنَ مُشْرِقاً.

Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.

٩ 9 مَنِ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ يَحْيَا فِي النُّورِ، وَلكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُ أَحَدَ إِخْوَتِهِ، فَهُوَ مَازَالَ حَتَّى الآنَ فِي الظَّلامِ.

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.

١٠ 10 فَالَّذِي يُحِبُّ إِخْوَتَهُ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَحْيَا فِي النُّورِ فِعْلاً وَلا شَيْءَ يُسْقِطُهُ.

He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

١١ 11 أَمَّا الَّذِي يُبْغِضُ أَحَدَ إِخْوَتِهِ، فَهُوَ تَائِهٌ فِي الظَّلامِ، يَتَلَمَّسُ طَرِيقَهُ وَلا يَعْرِفُ أَيْنَ يَتَّجِهُ، لأَنَّ الظَّلامَ قَدْ أَعْمَى عَيْنَيْهِ!

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

١٢ 12 أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ إِكْرَاماً لاسْمِ الْمَسِيحِ.

I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

١٣ 13 أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الآبَاءُ، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ الْكَائِنَ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ. أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الشَّبَابُ، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ غَلَبْتُمْ إِبْلِيسَ الشِّرِّيرَ. كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ الصِّغَارُ، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ الآبَ.

I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.

١٤ 14 كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الآبَاءُ، لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ الْمَسِيحَ الْكَائِنَ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ. كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الشَّبَابُ، لأَنَّكُمْ أَقْوِيَاءُ، وَقَدْ تَرَسَّخَتْ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَغَلَبْتُمْ إِبْلِيسَ الشِّرِّيرَ.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

١٥ 15 لَا تُحِبُّوا الْعَالَمَ، وَلا الأَشْيَاءَ الَّتِي فِي الْعَالَمِ. فَالَّذِي يُحِبُّ الْعَالَمَ، لَا تَكُونُ مَحَبَّةُ الآبِ فِي قَلْبِهِ.

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

١٦ 16 لأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا فِي الْعَالَمِ، مِنْ شَهْوَاتِ الْجَسَدِ وَشَهَوَاتِ الْعَيْنِ وَتَرَفِ الْمَعِيشَةِ، لَيْسَ مِنَ الآبِ، بَلْ مِنَ الْعَالَمِ.

For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

١٧ 17 وَسَوْفَ يَزُولُ الْعَالَمُ، وَمَا فِيهِ مِنْ شَهْوَاتٍ أَمَّا الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِإِرَادَةِ اللهِ، فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ! (aiōn g165)

The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever. (aiōn g165)

١٨ 18 أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ، اعْلَمُوا أَنَّنَا نَعِيشُ الآنَ فِي الزَّمَنِ الأَخِيرِ. وَكَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ سَوْفَ يَأْتِي أَخِيراً «مَسِيحٌ دَجَّالٌ»، فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ حَتَّى الآنَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِينَ الْمُقَاوِمِينَ لِلْمَسِيحِ. مِنْ هُنَا نَتَأَكَّدُ أَنَّنَا نَعِيشُ فِي الزَّمَنِ الأَخِيرِ.

Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.

١٩ 19 هؤُلاءِ الدَّجَّالُونَ انْفَصَلُوا عَنَّا، لكِنَّهُمْ فِي الْوَاقِعِ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مِنَّا. وَلَوْ كَانُوا مِنَّا لَظَلُّوا مَعَنَا. فَانْفِصَالُهُمْ عَنَّا إِذَنْ بُرْهَانٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً لَيْسُوا مِنَّا.

They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ مَسْحَةٌ مِنَ الْقُدُّوسِ، وَجَمِيعُكُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ الْحَقَّ.

You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

٢١ 21 فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَ لأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ الْحَقَّ، بَلْ لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ وَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ كَذِبٌ لَا يَأْتِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ.

I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

٢٢ 22 وَمَنْ هُوَ الْكَذَّابُ؟ إِنَّهُ الَّذِي يُنْكِرُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ حَقّاً. إِنَّهُ ضِدٌّ لِلْمَسِيحِ يُنْكِرُ الآبَ وَالابْنَ مَعاً.

Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

٢٣ 23 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ الابْنَ، لَا يَكُونُ الآبُ أَيْضاً مِنْ نَصِيبِهِ. وَمَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِالابْنِ، فَلَهُ الآبُ أَيْضاً.

Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

٢٤ 24 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، فَالْكَلامُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مُنْذُ الْبَدَايَةِ، فَلْيَكُنْ رَاسِخاً فِيكُمْ. فَحِينَ يَتَرَسَّخُ ذَلِكَ الْكَلامُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ، تَتَوَطَّدُ صِلَتُكُمْ بِالابْنِ، وَبِالآبِ.

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

٢٥ 25 فَإِنَّ اللهَ نَفْسَهُ قَدْ وَعَدَنَا بِالْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. (aiōnios g166)

This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

٢٦ 26 كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا مُشِيراً إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُحَاوِلُونَ أَنْ يُضَلِّلُوكُمْ.

These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.

٢٧ 27 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَقَدْ نِلْتُمْ مِنَ اللهِ مَسْحَةً تَبْقَى فِيكُمْ دَائِماً. وَلِذلِكَ، لَسْتُمْ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى مَنْ يُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْحَقَّ. فَتِلْكَ الْمَسْحَةُ عَيْنُهَا هِيَ الَّتِي تُعَلِّمُكُمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. وَهِيَ حَقٌّ وَلَيْسَتْ كَذِباً. فَكَمَا عَلَّمَتْكُمُ اثْبُتُوا فِي الْمَسِيحِ.

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

٢٨ 28 وَالآنَ، أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ، كُونُوا ثَابِتِينَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، حَتَّى تَكُونَ لَنَا نَحْنُ ثِقَةٌ أَمَامَهُ، وَلا نَخْجَلَ مِنْهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ.

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

٢٩ 29 وَمَا دُمْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللهَ بَارٌّ، فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الصَّلاحَ، يُظْهِرُ أَنَّهُ مَوْلُودٌ مِنَ اللهِ حَقّاً.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
