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

¹My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor Greek Parakleton: Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, and Comforter. with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

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

²And he is the atoning sacrifice “atoning sacrifice” is from the Greek “hilasmos,” an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation—the sacrifice that turns away God’s wrath because of our sin. for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

³وبهذا نعرف اننا قد عرفناه ان حفظنا وصاياه.

³This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

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

⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

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

⁵But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:

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

⁶he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

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

⁷Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

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 is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, 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 even until now.

¹⁰من يحب اخاه يثبت في النور وليس فيه عثرة.

¹⁰He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

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

¹¹But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

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

¹²I write to you, little 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 you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know 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 you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

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

¹⁵Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

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

¹⁶For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

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

¹⁷The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

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, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.

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

¹⁹They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

²⁰واما انتم فلكم مسحة من القدوس وتعلمون كل شيء.

²⁰You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. Or, “know what is true.” Or, “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 you don’t know the truth, but because you know 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 but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he 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, the same doesn’t have the Father. 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.

²⁴Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁵وهذا هو الوعد الذي وعدنا هو به الحياة الابدية.

²⁵This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

²⁶كتبت اليكم هذا عن الذين يضلونكم.

²⁶These things I have written to you concerning those who would 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

²⁷As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

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

²⁸Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

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

²⁹If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.
