١ يوحنَّا 2

١ 1 يَا أَوْلَادِي، أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا لِكَيْ لَا تُخْطِئُوا. وَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ فَلَنَا شَفِيعٌ عِنْدَ ٱلْآبِ، يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱلْبَارُّ.

Dear children, I write thus to you in order that you may not sin. If any one sins, we have an Advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ the righteous;

٢ 2 وَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِخَطَايَانَا. لَيْسَ لِخَطَايَانَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ لِخَطَايَا كُلِّ ٱلْعَالَمِ أَيْضًا.

and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

٣ 3 وَبِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ: إِنْ حَفِظْنَا وَصَايَاهُ.

And by this we may know that we know Him--if we obey His commands.

٤ 4 مَنْ قَالَ: «قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُ» وَهُوَ لَا يَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ، فَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ وَلَيْسَ ٱلْحَقُّ فِيهِ.

He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart.

٥ 5 وَأَمَّا مَنْ حَفِظَ كَلِمَتَهُ، فَحَقًّا فِي هَذَا قَدْ تَكَمَّلَتْ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ. بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا فِيهِ:

But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

٦ 6 مَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ ثَابِتٌ فِيهِ يَنْبَغِي أَنَّهُ كَمَا سَلَكَ ذَاكَ هَكَذَا يَسْلُكُ هُوَ أَيْضًا.

The man who professes to be continuing in Him is himself also bound to live as He lived.

٧ 7 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، لَسْتُ أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَصِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً، بَلْ وَصِيَّةً قَدِيمَةً كَانَتْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ. ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ ٱلْقَدِيمَةُ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي سَمِعْتُمُوهَا مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ.

My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

٨ 8 أَيْضًا وَصِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ، مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ فِيهِ وَفِيكُمْ: أَنَّ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ قَدْ مَضَتْ، وَٱلنُّورَ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّ ٱلْآنَ يُضِيءُ.

And yet I am giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

٩ 9 مَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ فِي ٱلنُّورِ وَهُوَ يُبْغِضُ أَخَاهُ، فَهُوَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness.

١٠ 10 مَنْ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ يَثْبُتُ فِي ٱلنُّورِ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ عَثْرَةٌ.

He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others.

١١ 11 وَأَمَّا مَنْ يُبْغِضُ أَخَاهُ فَهُوَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَفِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ يَسْلُكُ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ يَمْضِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ أَعْمَتْ عَيْنَيْهِ.

But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going--because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

١٢ 12 أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَكُمُ ٱلْخَطَايَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ.

I am writing to you, dear children, because for His sake your sins are forgiven you.

١٣ 13 أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ. أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ غَلَبْتُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ. أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ ٱلْآبَ.

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

١٤ 14 كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْآبَاءُ، لِأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ. كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ، لِأَنَّكُمْ أَقْوِيَاءُ، وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللهِ ثَابِتَةٌ فِيكُمْ، وَقَدْ غَلَبْتُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

١٥ 15 لَا تُحِبُّوا ٱلْعَالَمَ وَلَا ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَحَدٌ ٱلْعَالَمَ فَلَيْسَتْ فِيهِ مَحَبَّةُ ٱلْآبِ.

Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ: شَهْوَةَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، وَشَهْوَةَ ٱلْعُيُونِ، وَتَعَظُّمَ ٱلْمَعِيشَةِ، لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ.

For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

١٧ 17 وَٱلْعَالَمُ يَمْضِي وَشَهْوَتُهُ، وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِي يَصْنَعُ مَشِيئَةَ ٱللهِ فَيَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. (aiōn g165)

And the world, with its cravings, is passing away, but he who does God's will continues for ever. (aiōn g165)

١٨ 18 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، هِيَ ٱلسَّاعَةُ ٱلْأَخِيرَةُ. وَكَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّ ضِدَّ ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَأْتِي، قَدْ صَارَ ٱلْآنَ أَضْدَادٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ كَثِيرُونَ. مِنْ هُنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ ٱلْأَخِيرَةُ.

Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

١٩ 19 مِنَّا خَرَجُوا، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مِنَّا، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا مِنَّا لَبَقَوْا مَعَنَا. لَكِنْ لِيُظْهَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ مِنَّا.

They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

٢٠ 20 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ مَسْحَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ وَتَعْلَمُونَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

As for you, you have an anointing from the holy One and have perfect knowledge.

٢١ 21 لَمْ أَكْتُبْ إِلَيْكُمْ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ، بَلْ لِأَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَهُ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ كَذِبٍ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ.

I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.

٢٢ 22 مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْكَذَّابُ، إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي يُنْكِرُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟ هَذَا هُوَ ضِدُّ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي يُنْكِرُ ٱلْآبَ وَٱلِٱبْنَ.

Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ.

٢٣ 23 كُلُّ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ ٱلِٱبْنَ لَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْآبُ أَيْضًا، وَمَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِٱلِٱبْنِ فَلَهُ ٱلْآبُ أَيْضًا.

No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father.

٢٤ 24 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمَا سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ فَلْيَثْبُتْ إِذًا فِيكُمْ. إِنْ ثَبَتَ فِيكُمْ مَا سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ، فَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا تَثْبُتُونَ فِي ٱلِٱبْنِ وَفِي ٱلْآبِ.

As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

٢٥ 25 وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْوَعْدُ ٱلَّذِي وَعَدَنَا هُوَ بِهِ: ٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةُ. (aiōnios g166)

And this is the promise which He Himself has given us--the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

٢٦ 26 كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ.

I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray.

٢٧ 27 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَٱلْمَسْحَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذْتُمُوهَا مِنْهُ ثَابِتَةٌ فِيكُمْ، وَلَا حَاجَةَ بِكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يُعَلِّمَكُمْ أَحَدٌ، بَلْ كَمَا تُعَلِّمُكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَسْحَةُ عَيْنُهَا عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَهِيَ حَقٌّ وَلَيْسَتْ كَذِبًا. كَمَا عَلَّمَتْكُمْ تَثْبُتُونَ فِيهِ.

And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

٢٨ 28 وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، ٱثْبُتُوا فِيهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أُظْهِرَ يَكُونُ لَنَا ثِقَةٌ، وَلَا نَخْجَلُ مِنْهُ فِي مَجِيئِهِ.

And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.

٢٩ 29 إِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّهُ بَارٌّ هُوَ، فَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلْبِرَّ مَوْلُودٌ مِنْهُ.

Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.
