1يا اولادي اكتب اليكم هذا لكي لا تخطئوا. وان اخطأ احد فلنا شفيع عند الآب يسوع المسيح البار
1My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;
2وهو كفارة لخطايانا. ليس لخطايانا فقط بل لخطايا كل العالم ايضا
2and *he* is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.
3وبهذا نعرف اننا قد عرفناه ان حفظنا وصاياه.
3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4من قال قد عرفته وهو لا يحفظ وصاياه فهو كاذب وليس الحق فيه.
4He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
5واما من حفظ كلمته فحقا في هذا قد تكملت محبة الله. بهذا نعرف اننا فيه.
5but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
6من قال انه ثابت فيه ينبغي انه كما سلك ذاك هكذا يسلك هو ايضا.
6He that says he abides in him ought, even as *he* walked, himself also [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.
7Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.
8ايضا وصية جديدة اكتب اليكم ما هو حق فيه وفيكم ان الظلمة قد مضت والنور الحقيقي الآن يضيء.
8Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines.
9من قال انه في النور وهو يبغض اخاه فهو الى الآن في الظلمة.
9He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.
10من يحب اخاه يثبت في النور وليس فيه عثرة.
10He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11واما من يبغض اخاه فهو في الظلمة وفي الظلمة يسلك ولا يعلم اين يمضي لان الظلمة اعمت عينيه
11But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12اكتب اليكم ايها الاولاد لانه قد غفرت لكم الخطايا من اجل اسمه
12I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
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 [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, 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 have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one].
15لا تحبوا العالم ولا الاشياء التي في العالم. ان احب احد العالم فليست فيه محبة الآب.
15Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one 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 lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17والعالم يمضي وشهوته واما الذي يصنع مشيئة الله فيثبت الى الابد
17And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity.
18ايها الاولاد هي الساعة الاخيرة. وكما سمعتم ان ضد المسيح يأتي قد صار الآن اضداد للمسيح كثيرون. من هنا نعلم انها الساعة الاخيرة
18Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, 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.
19They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us.
20واما انتم فلكم مسحة من القدوس وتعلمون كل شيء.
20And *ye* have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things.
21لم اكتب اليكم لانكم لستم تعلمون الحق بل لانكم تعلمونه وان كل كذب ليس من الحق.
21I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that 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 but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? *He* is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
23كل من ينكر الابن ليس له الآب ايضا ومن يعترف بالابن فله الآب ايضا
23Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has 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.
24As for *you* let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, *ye* also shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
25وهذا هو الوعد الذي وعدنا هو به الحياة الابدية.
25And this is the promise which *he* has promised us, life eternal.
26كتبت اليكم هذا عن الذين يضلونكم.
26These things have I written to you concerning those who lead 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 *yourselves*, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28والآن ايها الاولاد اثبتوا فيه حتى اذا أظهر يكون لنا ثقة ولا نخجل منه في مجيئه.
28And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
29ان علمتم انه بار هو فاعلموا ان كل من يصنع البر مولود منه
29If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
