1 John 2

1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

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

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

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

3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

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

4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

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

5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

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

6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

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

7 Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.

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

8 Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.

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.

9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

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

10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.

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

11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

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

12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.

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

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the 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.

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.

14 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 abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

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.

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

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

16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

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

17 The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.

17 وَسَوْفَ يَزُولُ الْعَالَمُ، وَمَا فِيهِ مِنْ شَهْوَاتٍ أَمَّا الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِإِرَادَةِ اللهِ، فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ!

18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

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.

19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.

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.

20 You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

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

21 I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.

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

22 Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

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

23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.

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

24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.

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

25 And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.

25 فَإِنَّ اللهَ نَفْسَهُ قَدْ وَعَدَنَا بِالْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ.

26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

26 كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذَا مُشِيراً إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُحَاوِلُونَ أَنْ يُضَلِّلُوكُمْ.

27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.

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.

28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.

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

29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.

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