1 John 4
1 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
| أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، لَا تُصَدِّقُوا كُلَّ رُوحٍ، بَلِ امْتَحِنُوا الأَرْوَاحَ لِتَعْرِفُوا مَا إِذَا كَانَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ أَمْ لا، لأَنَّ عَدَداً كَبِيراً مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الدَّجَّالِينَ قَدِ انْتَشَرَ فِي الْعَالَمِ. | ١ |
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
| وَهذِهِ هِيَ الطَّرِيقَةُ الَّتِي تَعْرِفُونَ بِها كَوْنَ الرُّوحِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ فِعْلاً: إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الرُّوحُ يَعْتَرِفُ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فِي الْجَسَدِ، فَهُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ. | ٢ |
3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
| وَإِنْ كَانَ يُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ لَا يَكُونُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ، بَلْ مِنْ عِنْدِ ضِدِّ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ سَوْفَ يَأْتِي، وَهُوَ الآنَ مَوْجُودٌ فِي الْعَالَمِ. | ٣ |
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
| أَيُّهَا الأَوْلادُ الصِّغَارُ، أَنْتُمْ مِنَ اللهِ، وَقَدْ غَلَبْتُمُ الَّذِينَ يُقَاوِمُونَ الْمَسِيحَ: لأَنَّ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ السَّاكِنَ فِيكُمْ أَقْوَى مِنَ الرُّوحِ الشِّرِّيرِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ فِي الْعَالَمِ. | ٤ |
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
| هؤُلاءِ الْمُقَاوِمُونَ هُمْ مِنَ الْعَالَمِ، وَلِذَلِكَ يَسْتَمِدُّونَ كَلامَهُمْ مِنَ الْعَالَمِ، فَيُصْغِي أَهْلُ الْعَالَمِ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ٥ |
6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
| أَمَّا نَحْنُ، فَإِنَّنَا مِنَ اللهِ، وَلِذلِكَ يُصْغِي إِلَيْنَا فَقَطْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ اللهَ. أَمَّا الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنَ اللهِ، فَلا يُصْغِي إِلَيْنَا. وَبِهَذَا، نُمَيِّزُ بَيْنَ رُوحِ الْحَقِّ وَرُوحِ الضَّلالِ. | ٦ |
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
| أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، لِنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً: لأَنَّ الْمَحَبَّةَ تَصْدُرُ مِنَ اللهِ. إِذَنْ، كُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ، يَكُونُ مَوْلُوداً مِنَ اللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ اللهَ. | ٧ |
8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.
| أَمَّا مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ، فَهُوَ لَمْ يَتَعَرَّفْ بِاللهِ قَطُّ لأَنَّ اللهَ مَحَبَّةٌ! | ٨ |
9 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.
| وَقَدْ أَظْهَرَ اللهُ مَحَبَّتَهُ لَنَا إِذْ أَرْسَلَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِكَيْ نَحْيَا بِهِ. | ٩ |
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
| وَفِي هَذَا نَرَى الْمَحَبَّةَ الْحَقِيقِيَّةَ، لَا مَحَبَّتَنَا نَحْنُ لِلهِ، بَلْ مَحَبَّتَهُ هُوَ لَنَا. فَبِدَافِعِ مَحَبَّتِهِ، أَرْسَلَ ابْنَهُ كَفَّارَةً لِخَطَايَانَا. | ١٠ |
11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
| وَمَادَامَ اللهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّنَا هَذِهِ الْمَحَبَّةَ الْعَظِيمَةَ، أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، فَعَلَيْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً أَنْ نُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً. | ١١ |
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
| إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَطُّ. وَلكِنْ، حِينَ نُحِبُّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً، نُبَيِّنُ أَنَّ اللهَ يَحْيَا فِي دَاخِلِنَا، وَأَنَّ مَحَبَّتَهُ قَدِ اكْتَمَلَتْ فِي دَاخِلِنَا. | ١٢ |
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
| وَمَا يُؤَكِّدُ لَنَا أَنَّنَا نَثْبُتُ فِي اللهِ، وَأَنَّهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا هُوَ أَنَّهُ وَهَبَ لَنَا مِنْ رُوحِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
| وَنَحْنُ أَنْفُسُنَا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الآبَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ الابْنَ مُخَلِّصاً لِلْعَالَمِ، لأَنَّنَا رَأَيْنَاهُ بِعُيُونِنَا. | ١٤ |
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
| مَنْ يَعْتَرِفْ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ يَثْبُتُ فِي اللهِ، | ١٥ |
16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
| وَنَحْنُ أَنْفُسُنَا اخْتَبَرْنَا الْمَحَبَّةَ الَّتِي خَصَّنَا اللهُ بِها، وَوَضَعْنَا ثِقَتَنَا فِيهَا. إِنَّ اللهَ مَحَبَّةٌ. وَمَنْ يَثْبُتْ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَثْبُتُ فِي اللهِ، وَاللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ. | ١٦ |
17 In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.
| وَتَكُونُ مَحَبَّةُ اللهِ قَدِ اكْتَمَلَتْ فِي دَاخِلِنَا حِينَ تُوَلِّدُ فِينَا ثِقَةً كَامِلَةً مِنْ جِهَةِ يَوْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ: لأَنَّهُ كَمَا الْمَسِيحُ، هكَذَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً فِي هَذَا الْعَالَمِ. | ١٧ |
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
| لَيْسَ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ أَيُّ خَوْفٍ. بَلِ الْمَحَبَّةُ الْكَامِلَةُ تَطْرُدُ الْخَوْفَ خَارِجاً. فَإِنَّ الْخَوْفَ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ. وَالْخَائِفُ لَا تَكُونُ مَحَبَّةُ اللهِ قَدِ اكْتَمَلَتْ فِيهِ. | ١٨ |
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
| وَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ، لأَنَّ اللهَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلاً. | ١٩ |
20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
| فَإِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ: «أَنَا أُحِبُّ اللهَ!» وَلكِنَّهُ يُبْغِضُ أَخاً لَهُ، فَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ، لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَا يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ الَّذِي يَرَاهُ، فَكَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُحِبَّ اللهَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَرَهُ قَطُّ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
| فَهَذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ جَاءَتْنَا مِنَ الْمَسِيحِ نَفْسِهِ: مَنْ يُحِبُّ اللهَ، يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ! | ٢١ |
