I John 3

اُنْظُرُوا أَيَّةَ مَحَبَّةٍ أَعْطَانَا الآبُ حَتَّى نُدْعَى أَوْلاَدَ اللهِ! مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا لاَ يَعْرِفُنَا الْعَالَمُ، لأَنَّهُ لاَ يَعْرِفُهُ.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، الآنَ نَحْنُ أَوْلاَدُ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يُظْهَرْ بَعْدُ مَاذَا سَنَكُونُ. وَلكِنْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ إِذَا أُظْهِرَ نَكُونُ مِثْلَهُ، لأَنَّنَا سَنَرَاهُ كَمَا هُوَ.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

وَكُلُّ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ هذَا الرَّجَاءُ بِهِ، يُطَهِّرُ نَفْسَهُ كَمَا هُوَ طَاهِرٌ.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

كُلُّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الْخَطِيَّةَ يَفْعَلُ التَّعَدِّيَ أَيْضًا. وَالْخَطِيَّةُ هِيَ التَّعَدِّي.

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

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

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

كُلُّ مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ لاَ يُخْطِئُ. كُلُّ مَنْ يُخْطِئُ لَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ وَلاَ عَرَفَهُ.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

أَيُّهَا الأَوْلاَدُ، لاَ يُضِلَّكُمْ أَحَدٌ: مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الْبِرَّ فَهُوَ بَارٌّ، كَمَا أَنَّ ذَاكَ بَارٌّ.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الْخَطِيَّةَ فَهُوَ مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ، لأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ يُخْطِئُ. لأَجْلِ هذَا أُظْهِرَ ابْنُ اللهِ لِكَيْ يَنْقُضَ أَعْمَالَ إِبْلِيسَ.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

كُلُّ مَنْ هُوَ مَوْلُودٌ مِنَ اللهِ لاَ يَفْعَلُ خَطِيَّةً، لأَنَّ زَرْعَهُ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ، وَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ لأَنَّهُ مَوْلُودٌ مِنَ اللهِ.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

بِهذَا أَوْلاَدُ اللهِ ظَاهِرُونَ وَأَوْلاَدُ إِبْلِيسَ: كُلُّ مَنْ لاَ يَفْعَلُ الْبِرَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللهِ، وَكَذَا مَنْ لاَ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

لأَنَّ هذَا هُوَ الْخَبَرُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ: أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

لَيْسَ كَمَا كَانَ قَايِينُ مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ وَذَبَحَ أَخَاهُ. وَلِمَاذَا ذَبَحَهُ؟ لأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُ كَانَتْ شِرِّيرَةً، وَأَعْمَالَ أَخِيهِ بَارَّةٌ.

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

لاَ تَتَعَجَّبُوا يَا إِخْوَتِي إِنْ كَانَ الْعَالَمُ يُبْغِضُكُمْ.

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّنَا قَدِ انْتَقَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، لأَنَّنَا نُحِبُّ الإِخْوَةَ. مَنْ لاَ يُحِبَّ أَخَاهُ يَبْقَ فِي الْمَوْتِ.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

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

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

بِهذَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا الْمَحَبَّةَ: أَنَّ ذَاكَ وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ لأَجْلِنَا، فَنَحْنُ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَضَعَ نُفُوسَنَا لأَجْلِ الإِخْوَةِ.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَعِيشَةُ الْعَالَمِ، وَنَظَرَ أَخَاهُ مُحْتَاجًا، وَأَغْلَقَ أَحْشَاءَهُ عَنْهُ، فَكَيْفَ تَثْبُتُ مَحَبَّةُ اللهِ فِيهِ؟

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

يَا أَوْلاَدِي، لاَ نُحِبَّ بِالْكَلاَمِ وَلاَ بِاللِّسَانِ، بَلْ بِالْعَمَلِ وَالْحَقِّ!

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

وَبِهذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَنُسَكِّنُ قُلُوبَنَا قُدَّامَهُ.

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

لأَنَّهُ إِنْ لاَمَتْنَا قُلُوبُنَا فَاللهُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ قُلُوبِنَا، وَيَعْلَمُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، إِنْ لَمْ تَلُمْنَا قُلُوبُنَا، فَلَنَا ثِقَةٌ مِنْ نَحْوِ اللهِ.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

وَمَهْمَا سَأَلْنَا نَنَالُ مِنْهُ، لأَنَّنَا نَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ، وَنَعْمَلُ الأَعْمَالَ الْمَرْضِيَّةَ أَمَامَهُ.

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

وَهذِهِ هِيَ وَصِيَّتُهُ: أَنْ نُؤْمِنَ بِاسْمِ ابْنِهِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، وَنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا كَمَا أَعْطَانَا وَصِيَّةً.

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

وَمَنْ يَحْفَظْ وَصَايَاهُ يَثْبُتْ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِيهِ. وَبِهذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا: مِنَ الرُّوحِ الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا.

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
