1 الشيخ الى كيرية المختارة والى اولادها الذين انا احبهم بالحق ولست انا فقط بل ايضا جميع الذين قد عرفوا الحق | 1 From the Elder: my greetings to the Lady, the chosen one, and to her children, whom I love in truth --and I am not the only one, for so do al who have come to know the Truth -- and I am not the only one, for so sodo al who have come to know the Truth- |
2 من اجل الحق الذي يثبت فينا وسيكون معنا الى الابد. | 2 because of the truth that remains in us and wil be with us for ever. |
3 تكون معكم نعمة ورحمة وسلام من الله الآب ومن الرب يسوع المسيح ابن الآب بالحق والمحبة | 3 In our life of truth and love, we shal have grace, faithful love and peace from God the Father and fromJesus Christ, the Son of the Father. |
4 فرحت جدا لاني وجدت من اولادك بعضا سالكين في الحق كما اخذنا وصية من الآب. | 4 It has given me great joy to find that children of yours have been living the life of truth as we werecommanded by the Father. |
5 والآن اطلب منك يا كيرية لا كاني اكتب اليك وصية جديدة بل التي كانت عندنا من البدء ان يحب بعضنا بعضا. | 5 And now I am asking you -- dear lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but onlythe one which we have had from the beginning -- that we should love one another. |
6 وهذه هي المحبة ان نسلك بحسب وصاياه. هذه هي الوصية كما سمعتم من البدء ان تسلكوا فيها. | 6 To love is to live according to his commandments: this is the commandment which you have heardsince the beginning, to live a life of love. |
7 لانه قد دخل الى العالم مضلّون كثيرون لا يعترفون بيسوع المسيح آتيا في الجسد. هذا هو المضلّ والضد للمسيح. | 7 There are many deceivers at large in the world, refusing to acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming inhuman nature. They are the Deceiver; they are the Antichrist. |
8 انظروا الى انفسكم لئلا نضيّع ما عملناه بل ننال اجرا تاما. | 8 Watch yourselves, or all our work will be lost and you wil forfeit your full reward. |
9 كل من تعدى ولم يثبت في تعليم المسيح فليس له الله. ومن يثبت في تعليم المسيح فهذا له الآب والابن جميعا. | 9 If anybody does not remain in the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it, he does not have God with him:only those who remain in what he taught can have the Father and the Son with them. |
10 ان كان احد يأتيكم ولا يجيء بهذا التعليم فلا تقبلوه في البيت ولا تقولوا له سلام. | 10 If anyone comes to you bringing a different doctrine, you must not receive him into your house or evengive him a greeting. |
11 لان من يسلم عليه يشترك في اعماله الشريرة | 11 Whoever greets him has a share in his wicked activities. |
12 اذ كان لي كثير لاكتب اليكم لم ارد ان يكون بورق وحبر لاني ارجو ان آتي اليكم واتكلم فما لفم لكي يكون فرحنا كاملا. | 12 There are several things I have to tell you, but I have thought it best not to trust them to paper and ink.I hope instead to visit you and talk to you in person, so that our joy may be complete. |
13 يسلم عليك اولاد اختك المختارة آمين | 13 Greetings to you from the children of your sister, the chosen one. |
