¹يا اولادي اكتب اليكم هذا لكي لا تخطئوا. وان اخطأ احد فلنا شفيع عند الآب يسوع المسيح البار

¹My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

²وهو كفارة لخطايانا. ليس لخطايانا فقط بل لخطايا كل العالم ايضا

²and he — he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

³وبهذا نعرف اننا قد عرفناه ان حفظنا وصاياه.

³and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

⁴من قال قد عرفته وهو لا يحفظ وصاياه فهو كاذب وليس الحق فيه.

⁴he who is saying, `I have known him,` and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;

⁵واما من حفظ كلمته فحقا في هذا قد تكملت محبة الله. بهذا نعرف اننا فيه.

⁵and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

⁶من قال انه ثابت فيه ينبغي انه كما سلك ذاك هكذا يسلك هو ايضا.

⁶He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

⁷ايها الاخوة لست اكتب اليكم وصية جديدة بل وصية قديمة كانت عندكم من البدء. الوصية القديمة هي الكلمة التي سمعتموها من البدء.

⁷Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;

⁸ايضا وصية جديدة اكتب اليكم ما هو حق فيه وفيكم ان الظلمة قد مضت والنور الحقيقي الآن يضيء.

⁸again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;

⁹من قال انه في النور وهو يبغض اخاه فهو الى الآن في الظلمة.

⁹he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;

¹⁰من يحب اخاه يثبت في النور وليس فيه عثرة.

¹⁰he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;

¹¹واما من يبغض اخاه فهو في الظلمة وفي الظلمة يسلك ولا يعلم اين يمضي لان الظلمة اعمت عينيه

¹¹and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

¹²اكتب اليكم ايها الاولاد لانه قد غفرت لكم الخطايا من اجل اسمه

¹²I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

¹³اكتب اليكم ايها الآباء لانكم قد عرفتم الذي من البدء. اكتب اليكم ايها الاحداث لانكم قد غلبتم الشرير. اكتب اليكم ايها الاولاد لانكم قد عرفتم الآب.

¹³I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:

¹⁴كتبت اليكم ايها الآباء لانكم قد عرفتم الذي من البدء. كتبت اليكم ايها الاحداث لانكم اقوياء وكلمة الله ثابتة فيكم وقد غلبتم الشرير.

¹⁴I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

¹⁵لا تحبوا العالم ولا الاشياء التي في العالم. ان احب احد العالم فليست فيه محبة الآب.

¹⁵Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁶لان كل ما في العالم شهوة الجسد وشهوة العيون وتعظم المعيشة ليس من الآب بل من العالم.

¹⁶because all that [is] in the world — the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life — is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁷والعالم يمضي وشهوته واما الذي يصنع مشيئة الله فيثبت الى الابد

¹⁷and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain — to the age.

¹⁸ايها الاولاد هي الساعة الاخيرة. وكما سمعتم ان ضد المسيح يأتي قد صار الآن اضداد للمسيح كثيرون. من هنا نعلم انها الساعة الاخيرة

¹⁸Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many — whence we know that it is the last hour;

¹⁹منا خرجوا لكنهم لم يكونوا منا لانهم لو كانوا منا لبقوا معنا لكن ليظهروا انهم ليسوا جميعهم منا.

¹⁹out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but — that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

²⁰واما انتم فلكم مسحة من القدوس وتعلمون كل شيء.

²⁰And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;

²¹لم اكتب اليكم لانكم لستم تعلمون الحق بل لانكم تعلمونه وان كل كذب ليس من الحق.

²¹I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth.

²²من هو الكذاب الا الذي ينكر ان يسوع هو المسيح. هذا هو ضد المسيح الذي ينكر الآب والابن.

²²Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son;

²³كل من ينكر الابن ليس له الآب ايضا ومن يعترف بالابن فله الآب ايضا

²³every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.]

²⁴اما انتم فما سمعتموه من البدء فليثبت اذا فيكم. ان ثبت فيكم ما سمعتموه من البدء فانتم ايضا تثبتون في الابن وفي الآب.

²⁴Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain,

²⁵وهذا هو الوعد الذي وعدنا هو به الحياة الابدية.

²⁵and this is the promise that He did promise us — the life the age-during.

²⁶كتبت اليكم هذا عن الذين يضلونكم.

²⁶These things I did write to you concerning those leading you astray;

²⁷واما انتم فالمسحة التي اخذتموها منه ثابتة فيكم ولا حاجة بكم الى ان يعلّمكم احد بل كما تعلّمكم هذه المسحة عينها عن كل شيء وهي حق وليست كذبا. كما علّمتكم تثبتون فيه

²⁷and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

²⁸والآن ايها الاولاد اثبتوا فيه حتى اذا أظهر يكون لنا ثقة ولا نخجل منه في مجيئه.

²⁸And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

²⁹ان علمتم انه بار هو فاعلموا ان كل من يصنع البر مولود منه

²⁹if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
