Prima lettera di Giovanni (1 يوحنا) 4

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ايها الاحباء لا تصدقوا كل روح بل امتحنوا الارواح هل هي من الله لان انبياء كذبة كثيرين قد خرجوا الى العالم.	1 My dear friends, not every spirit is to be trusted, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,for many false prophets are at large in the world.
2 بهذا تعرفون روح الله. كل روح يعترف بيسوع المسيح انه قد جاء في الجسد فهو من الله.	2 This is the proof of the spirit of God: any spirit which acknowledges Jesus Christ, come in humannature, is from God,
3 وكل روح لا يعترف بيسوع المسيح انه قد جاء في الجسد فليس من الله. وهذا هو روح ضد المسيح الذي سمعتم انه يأتي والآن هو في العالم.	3 and no spirit which fails to acknowledge Jesus is from God; it is the spirit of Antichrist, whose comingyou have heard of; he is already at large in the world.
4 انتم من الله ايها الاولاد وقد غلبتموهم لان الذي فيكم اعظم من الذي في العالم.	4 Children, you are from God and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he whois in the world.
5 هم من العالم. من اجل ذلك يتكلمون من العالم والعالم يسمع لهم.	5 They are from the world, and therefore the world inspires what they say, and listens to them.
6 نحن من الله فمن يعرف الله يسمع لنا ومن ليس من الله لا يسمع لنا. من هذا نعرف روح الحق وروح الضلال.	6 We are from God; whoever recognises God listens to us; anyone who is not from God refuses to listento us. This is how we can distinguish the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood.
7 ايها الاحباء لنحب بعضنا بعضا لان المحبة هي من الله وكل من يحب فقد ولد من الله ويعرف الله.	7 My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child ofGod and knows God.
8 ومن لا يحب لم يعرف الله لان الله محبة.	8 Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love.
9 بهذا أظهرت محبة الله فينا ان الله قد ارسل ابنه الوحيد الى العالم لكي نحيا به.	9 This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might havelife through him.
10 في هذه هي المحبة ليس اننا نحن احببنا الله بل انه هو احبنا وارسل ابنه كفارة لخطايانا	10 Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate oursins.
11 ايها الاحباء ان كان الله قد احبنا هكذا ينبغي لنا ايضا ان يحب بعضنا بعضا.	11 My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.
12 الله لم ينظره احد قط. ان احب بعضنا بعضا فالله يثبت فينا ومحبته قد تكملت فينا.	12 No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comesto its perfection in us.
13 بهذا نعرف اننا نثبت فيه وهو فينا انه قد اعطانا من روحه.	13 This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us a share in his Spirit.
14 ونحن قد نظرنا ونشهد ان الآب قد ارسل الابن مخلّصا للعالم.	14 We ourselves have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world.
15 من اعترف ان يسوع هو ابن الله فالله يثبت فيه وهو في الله.	15 Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.
16 ونحن قد عرفنا وصدقنا المحبة التي للّه فينا. الله محبة ومن يثبت في المحبة يثبت في الله والله فيه.	16 We have recognised for ourselves, and put our faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, andwhoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.
17 بهذا تكملت المحبة فينا ان يكون لنا ثقة في يوم الدين لانه كما هو في هذا العالم هكذا نحن ايضا.	17 Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because evenin this world we have become as he is.
18 لا خوف في المحبة بل المحبة الكاملة تطرح الخوف الى خارج لان الخوف له عذاب واما من خاف فلم يتكمل في المحبة.	18 In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment andno one who is afraid has come to perfection in love.
19 نحن نحبه لانه هو احبنا اولا.	19 Let us love, then, because he first loved us.
20 ان قال احد اني احب الله وابغض اخاه فهو كاذب. لان من لا يحب اخاه الذي ابصره كيف يقدر ان يحب الله الذي لم يبصره.	20 Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brotherwhom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21 ولنا هذه الوصية منه ان من يحب الله يحب اخاه ايضا	21 Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also lovehis brother.
