2 John 1

1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—

1 مِنْ يُوحَنَّا الشَّيْخِ، إِلَى السَّيِّدَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ، وَإِلَى أَوْلادِهَا الَّذِينَ أُحِبُّهُمْ جَمِيعاً بِالْحَقِّ، وَلَسْتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أُحِبُّهُمْ، بَلْ أَيْضاً جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ عَرَفُوا الْحَقَّ.

2 because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:

2 بِمَا أَنَّ الْحَقَّ ثَابِتٌ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، وَلابُدَّ أَنْ يُرَافِقَنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ،

3 Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.

3 فَإِنَّ النِّعْمَةَ وَالرَّحْمَةَ وَالسَّلامَ سَتَكُونُ مَعَنَا، مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ ابْنِ الآبِ، بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ.

4 I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.

4 فَرِحْتُ جِدّاً حِينَ وَجَدْتُ بَعْضَ أَوْلادِكِ يَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ الْحَقِّ، وَفْقاً لِمَا أَوْصَانَا بِهِ الآبُ.

5 And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.

5 وَالآنَ، أَيَّتُهَا السَّيِّدَةُ، لِي رَجَاءٌ أَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكِ، وَلا تَعْتَبِرِيهِ وَصِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً. وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ تِلْكَ الْوَصِيَّةُ الْمَوْجُودَةُ عِنْدَنَا مُنْذُ الْبَدَايَةِ: أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً.

6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

6 هَذِهِ هِيَ الْمَحَبَّةُ: أَنْ نَسْلُكَ وَفْقاً لِوَصَايَاهُ. وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصِيَّةُ، كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ مُنْذُ الْبَدَايَةِ: أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ!

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

7 إِنَّ الْعَالَمَ أَصْبَحَ مَلِيئاً بِالْمُضَلِّلِينَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْتَرِفُونَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ جَاءَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ بِجِسْمٍ بَشَرِيٍّ. هَذَا هُوَ رُوحُ المُضِلِّ وَضِدُّ الْمَسِيحِ!

8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.

8 فَانْتَبِهُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، لِكَيْ لَا يَضِيعَ الْجَهْدُ الَّذِي بَذَلْنَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِكُمْ، بَلْ لِتَنَالُوا أَجْرَكُمْ كَامِلاً.

9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.

9 لأَنَّ مَنْ تَعَدَّى تَعْلِيمَ الْمَسِيحِ وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِيهِ، فَلَيْسَ اللهُ مِنْ نَصِيبِهِ. أَمَّا مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِي هَذَا التَّعْلِيمِ، فَلَهُ الآبُ وَالابْنُ مَعاً.

10 If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.

10 إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ أَحَدٌ بِغَيْرِ هَذَا التَّعْلِيمِ، فَلا تَسْتَقْبِلُوهُ فِي بَيْتِكُمْ، وَلا تُبَادِلُوهُ التَّحِيَّةَ.

11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.

11 لأَنَّ مَنْ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ، يُشَارِكُهُ فِي أَعْمَالِهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ.

12 I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

12 كَانَ عِنْدِي أُمُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ أَكْتُبُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ إِلّا أَنِّي مَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَهَا هُنَا بِالْحِبْرِ وَالْوَرَقِ. فَأَنَا آمُلُ أَنْ أَزُورَكُمْ شَخْصِيًّا فَنَتَكَلَّمَ مُوَاجَهَةً. وَعِنْدَئِذٍ يَكْتَمِلُ فَرَحُنَا.

13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings.

13 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكِ أَوْلادُ أُخْتِكِ الَّتِي اخْتَارَهَا اللهُ.
