1 John 3

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.

1 اُنْظُرُوا أَيَّةَ مَحَبَّةٍ أَعْطَانَا ٱلْآبُ حَتَّى نُدْعَى أَوْلَادَ ٱللهِ! مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا لَا يَعْرِفُنَا ٱلْعَالَمُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ.

2 Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

2 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، ٱلْآنَ نَحْنُ أَوْلَادُ ٱللهِ، وَلَمْ يُظْهَرْ بَعْدُ مَاذَا سَنَكُونُ. وَلَكِنْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ إِذَا أُظْهِرَ نَكُونُ مِثْلَهُ، لِأَنَّنَا سَنَرَاهُ كَمَا هُوَ.

3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.

3 وَكُلُّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ هَذَا ٱلرَّجَاءُ بِهِ، يُطَهِّرُ نَفْسَهُ كَمَا هُوَ طَاهِرٌ.

4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.

4 كُلُّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ يَفْعَلُ ٱلتَّعَدِّيَ أَيْضًا. وَٱلْخَطِيَّةُ هِيَ ٱلتَّعَدِّي.

5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.

5 وَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ذَاكَ أُظْهِرَ لِكَيْ يَرْفَعَ خَطَايَانَا، وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ خَطِيَّةٌ.

6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.

6 كُلُّ مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ لَا يُخْطِئُ. كُلُّ مَنْ يُخْطِئُ لَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ وَلَا عَرَفَهُ.

7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.

7 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، لَا يُضِلَّكُمْ أَحَدٌ: مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْبِرَّ فَهُوَ بَارٌّ، كَمَا أَنَّ ذَاكَ بَارٌّ.

8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.

8 مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ فَهُوَ مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ، لِأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ يُخْطِئُ. لِأَجْلِ هَذَا أُظْهِرَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ لِكَيْ يَنْقُضَ أَعْمَالَ إِبْلِيسَ.

9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

9 كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ مَوْلُودٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ لَا يَفْعَلُ خَطِيَّةً، لِأَنَّ زَرْعَهُ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ، وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ لِأَنَّهُ مَوْلُودٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

10 بِهَذَا أَوْلَادُ ٱللهِ ظَاهِرُونَ وَأَوْلَادُ إِبْلِيسَ: كُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلْبِرَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَكَذَا مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ.

11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

11 لِأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْخَبَرُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ: أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain slay him? Because his own deeds were evil, while those of his brother were righteous.

12 لَيْسَ كَمَا كَانَ قَايِينُ مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ وَذَبَحَ أَخَاهُ. وَلِمَاذَا ذَبَحَهُ؟ لِأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ كَانَتْ شِرِّيرَةً، وَأَعْمَالَ أَخِيهِ بَارَّةٌ.

13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.

13 لَا تَتَعَجَّبُوا يَا إِخْوَتِي إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْعَالَمُ يُبْغِضُكُمْ.

14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

14 نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّنَا قَدِ ٱنْتَقَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ، لِأَنَّنَا نُحِبُّ ٱلْإِخْوَةَ. مَنْ لَا يُحِبَّ أَخَاهُ يَبْقَ فِي ٱلْمَوْتِ.

15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.

15 كُلُّ مَنْ يُبْغِضُ أَخَاهُ فَهُوَ قَاتِلُ نَفْسٍ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ قَاتِلِ نَفْسٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ ثَابِتَةٌ فِيهِ.

16 By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

16 بِهَذَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ: أَنَّ ذَاكَ وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ لِأَجْلِنَا، فَنَحْنُ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَضَعَ نُفُوسَنَا لِأَجْلِ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ.

17 If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?

17 وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَعِيشَةُ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَنَظَرَ أَخَاهُ مُحْتَاجًا، وَأَغْلَقَ أَحْشَاءَهُ عَنْهُ، فَكَيْفَ تَثْبُتُ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ فِيهِ؟

18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

18 يَا أَوْلَادِي، لَا نُحِبَّ بِٱلْكَلَامِ وَلَا بِٱللِّسَانِ، بَلْ بِٱلْعَمَلِ وَٱلْحَقِّ!

19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:

19 وَبِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَنُسَكِّنُ قُلُوبَنَا قُدَّامَهُ.

20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

20 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ لَامَتْنَا قُلُوبُنَا فَٱللهُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ قُلُوبِنَا، وَيَعْلَمُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,

21 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، إِنْ لَمْ تَلُمْنَا قُلُوبُنَا، فَلَنَا ثِقَةٌ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱللهِ.

22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

22 وَمَهْمَا سَأَلْنَا نَنَالُ مِنْهُ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ، وَنَعْمَلُ ٱلْأَعْمَالَ ٱلْمَرْضِيَّةَ أَمَامَهُ.

23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.

23 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ وَصِيَّتُهُ: أَنْ نُؤْمِنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱبْنِهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا كَمَا أَعْطَانَا وَصِيَّةً.

24 Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.

24 وَمَنْ يَحْفَظْ وَصَايَاهُ يَثْبُتْ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِيهِ. وَبِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا: مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا.
