< 1 John 1 >

1 It is of what has been in existence from the Beginning, of what we have heard, of what we have seen with our eyes, of what we watched reverently and touched with our hands — it is about the Word who is the Life that we are now writing.
اَلَّذِي كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ، ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْنَاهُ، ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْنَاهُ بِعُيُونِنَا، ٱلَّذِي شَاهَدْنَاهُ، وَلَمَسَتْهُ أَيْدِينَا، مِنْ جِهَةِ كَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.١
2 That Life was made visible, and we have seen it, and now bear our testimony to it, and tell you of that Immortal Life, which was with the Father and was made visible to us. (aiōnios g166)
فَإِنَّ ٱلْحَيَاةَ أُظْهِرَتْ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا وَنَشْهَدُ وَنُخْبِرُكُمْ بِٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَ ٱلْآبِ وَأُظْهِرَتْ لَنَا. (aiōnios g166)٢
3 It is of what we have seen and heard that we now tell you, so that you may have communion with us. And our communion is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْنَاهُ وَسَمِعْنَاهُ نُخْبِرُكُمْ بِهِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكُمْ أَيْضًا شَرِكَةٌ مَعَنَا. وَأَمَّا شَرِكَتُنَا نَحْنُ فَهِيَ مَعَ ٱلْآبِ وَمَعَ ٱبْنِهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.٣
4 And we are writing all this to you that our joy may be complete.
وَنَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا لِكَيْ يَكُونَ فَرَحُكُمْ كَامِلًا.٤
5 These, then, are the Tidings that we have heard from him and now tell you — ‘God is Light, and Darkness has no place at all in him.’
وَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلْخَبَرُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْهُ وَنُخْبِرُكُمْ بِهِ: إِنَّ ٱللهَ نُورٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظُلْمَةٌ ٱلْبَتَّةَ.٥
6 If we say that we have communion with him, and yet continue to live in the Darkness, we lie, and are not living the Truth.
إِنْ قُلْنَا: إِنَّ لَنَا شَرِكَةً مَعَهُ وَسَلَكْنَا فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، نَكْذِبُ وَلَسْنَا نَعْمَلُ ٱلْحَقَّ.٦
7 But, if our lives are lived in the Light, as God himself is in the Light, we have communion with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ سَلَكْنَا فِي ٱلنُّورِ كَمَا هُوَ فِي ٱلنُّورِ، فَلَنَا شَرِكَةٌ بَعْضِنَا مَعَ بَعْضٍ، وَدَمُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱبْنِهِ يُطَهِّرُنَا مِنْ كُلِّ خَطِيَّةٍ.٧
8 If we say that there is no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves, and the Truth has no place in us.
إِنْ قُلْنَا: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا خَطِيَّةٌ نُضِلُّ أَنْفُسَنَا وَلَيْسَ ٱلْحَقُّ فِينَا.٨
9 If we confess our sins, God may be trusted, in his righteousness, to forgive us our sins and purify us from all wickedness.
إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفْنَا بِخَطَايَانَا فَهُوَ أَمِينٌ وَعَادِلٌ، حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَيُطَهِّرَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ.٩
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we are making God a liar, and his Message has no place in us.
إِنْ قُلْنَا: إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُخْطِئْ نَجْعَلْهُ كَاذِبًا، وَكَلِمَتُهُ لَيْسَتْ فِينَا.١٠
