< رُؤيا 12 >

وَظَهَرَتْ آيَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ: ٱمْرَأَةٌ مُتَسَرْبِلَةٌ بِٱلشَّمْسِ، وَٱلْقَمَرُ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهَا، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهَا إِكْلِيلٌ مِنِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا، ١ 1
Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
وَهِيَ حُبْلَى تَصْرُخُ مُتَمَخِّضَةً وَمُتَوَجِّعَةً لِتَلِدَ. ٢ 2
She was with child and cried out in the pain and agony of giving birth.
وَظَهَرَتْ آيَةٌ أُخْرَى فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ: هُوَذَا تِنِّينٌ عَظِيمٌ أَحْمَرُ، لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ وَعَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِ سَبْعَةُ تِيجَانٍ. ٣ 3
Then another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
وَذَنَبُهُ يَجُرُّ ثُلْثَ نُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَطَرَحَهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَٱلتِّنِّينُ وَقَفَ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْعَتِيدَةِ أَنْ تَلِدَ، حَتَّى يَبْتَلِعَ وَلَدَهَا مَتَى وَلَدَتْ. ٤ 4
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
فَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا ذَكَرًا عَتِيدًا أَنْ يَرْعَى جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِعَصًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. وَٱخْتُطِفَ وَلَدُهَا إِلَى ٱللهِ وَإِلَى عَرْشِهِ، ٥ 5
She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ هَرَبَتْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ لَهَا مَوْضِعٌ مُعَدٌّ مِنَ ٱللهِ لِكَيْ يَعُولُوهَا هُنَاكَ أَلْفًا وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوْمًا. ٦ 6
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had a place prepared for her to be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
وَحَدَثَتْ حَرْبٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ: مِيخَائِيلُ وَمَلَائِكَتُهُ حَارَبُوا ٱلتِّنِّينَ، وَحَارَبَ ٱلتِّنِّينُ وَمَلَائِكَتُهُ ٧ 7
Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon fought back, along with his angels.
وَلَمْ يَقْوَوْا، فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَكَانُهُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٨ 8
But he did not prevail, and there was no longer any place found for him in heaven.
فَطُرِحَ ٱلتِّنِّينُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ، ٱلْحَيَّةُ ٱلْقَدِيمَةُ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ إِبْلِيسَ وَٱلشَّيْطَانَ، ٱلَّذِي يُضِلُّ ٱلْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ، طُرِحَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَطُرِحَتْ مَعَهُ مَلَائِكَتُهُ. ٩ 9
The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا عَظِيمًا قَائِلًا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ: «ٱلْآنَ صَارَ خَلَاصُ إِلَهِنَا وَقُدْرَتُهُ وَمُلْكُهُ وَسُلْطَانُ مَسِيحِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ طُرِحَ ٱلْمُشْتَكِي عَلَى إِخْوَتِنَا، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَشْتَكِي عَلَيْهِمْ أَمَامَ إِلَهِنَا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا. ١٠ 10
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “The salvation, power, and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ, have now come. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, he who accuses them day and night before our God.
وَهُمْ غَلَبُوهُ بِدَمِ ٱلْخَرُوفِ وَبِكَلِمَةِ شَهَادَتِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُحِبُّوا حَيَاتَهُمْ حَتَّى ٱلْمَوْتِ. ١١ 11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا، ٱفْرَحِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. وَيْلٌ لِسَاكِنِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْبَحْرِ، لِأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ نَزَلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَبِهِ غَضَبٌ عَظِيمٌ! عَالِمًا أَنَّ لَهُ زَمَانًا قَلِيلًا». ١٢ 12
Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short.”
وَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلتِّنِّينُ أَنَّهُ طُرِحَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱضْطَهَدَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْ ٱلِٱبْنَ ٱلذَّكَرَ، ١٣ 13
When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
فَأُعْطِيَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلنَّسْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ لِكَيْ تَطِيرَ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهَا، حَيْثُ تُعَالُ زَمَانًا وَزَمَانَيْنِ وَنِصْفَ زَمَانٍ، مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ. ١٤ 14
But the woman was given two wings like those of a great eagle so that she could fly away from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, to be nourished there for a time, times, and half a time.
فَأَلْقَتِ ٱلْحَيَّةُ مِنْ فَمِهَا وَرَاءَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ مَاءً كَنَهْرٍ لِتَجْعَلَهَا تُحْمَلُ بِٱلنَّهْرِ. ١٥ 15
Then out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
فَأَعَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ، وَفَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَمَهَا وَٱبْتَلَعَتِ ٱلنَّهْرَ ٱلَّذِي أَلْقَاهُ ٱلتِّنِّينُ مِنْ فَمِهِ. ١٦ 16
But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
فَغَضِبَ ٱلتِّنِّينُ عَلَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَذَهَبَ لِيَصْنَعَ حَرْبًا مَعَ بَاقِي نَسْلِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَا ٱللهِ، وَعِنْدَهُمْ شَهَادَةُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ١٧ 17
So the dragon was angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
