Introduction to 1 John
2 NAV فَإِنَّ «الْحَيَاةَ» تَجَلَّتْ أَمَامَنَا. وَبَعْدَمَا رَأَيْنَاهَا فِعْلاً، نَشْهَدُ لَهَا الآنَ. وَهَا نَحْنُ نَنْقُلُ إِلَيْكُمْ خَبَرَ هذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَ الآبِ ثُمَّ تَجَلَّتْ أَمَامَنَا! BSB BSB: And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.
3 NAV فَنَحْنُ، إِذَنْ، نُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ وَسَمِعْنَاهُ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا شُرَكَاءَنَا. كَمَا أَنَّ شَرِكَتَنَا هِيَ مَعَ الآبِ وَمَعَ ابْنِهِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. BSB BSB: We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4 NAV وَنَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ لِكَيْ يَكْتَمِلَ فَرَحُكُمْ! BSB BSB: We write these things so that our joy may be complete.
5 NAV وَهَذَا هُوَ الْخَبَرُ الَّذِي سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنَ الْمَسِيحِ وَنُعْلِنُهُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ اللهَ نُورٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظَلامٌ الْبَتَّةَ. BSB BSB: And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 NAV فَإِنْ كُنَّا نَدَّعِي أَنَّ لَنَا شَرِكَةً مَعَهُ، وَنَحْنُ نَعِيشُ فِي الظَّلامِ، نَكُونُ كَاذِبِينَ وَلا نُمَارِسُ الْحَقَّ. BSB BSB: If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 NAV وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنَّا فِعْلاً نَعِيشُ فِي النُّورِ، كَمَا هُوَ فِي النُّورِ، تَكُونُ لَنَا حَقّاً شَرِكَةٌ بَعْضِنَا مَعَ بَعْضٍ، وَدَمُ ابْنِهِ يَسُوعَ يُطَهِّرُنَا مِنْ كُلِّ خَطِيئَةٍ. BSB BSB: But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
9 NAV وَلكِنْ، إِنِ اعْتَرَفْنَا بِخَطَايَانَا، فَهُوَ جَدِيرٌ بِالثِّقَةِ وَعَادِلٌ، يَغْفِرُ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَيُطَهِّرُنَا مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ. BSB BSB: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 NAV فَإِنْ كُنَّا نَدَّعِي أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَرْتَكِبْ خَطِيئَةً، نَجْعَلُ اللهَ كَاذِباً، وَلا تَكُونُ كَلِمَتُهُ فِي دَاخِلِنَا! BSB BSB: If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
