رُؤيا 15
| ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ آيَةً أُخْرَى فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ،عَظِيمَةً وَعَجِيبَةً: سَبْعَةَ مَلَائِكَةٍ مَعَهُمُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلضَّرَبَاتُ ٱلْأَخِيرَةُ، لِأَنْ بِهَا أُكْمِلَ غَضَبُ ٱللهِ. | ١ 1 |
Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
| وَرَأَيْتُ كَبَحْرٍ مِنْ زُجَاجٍ مُخْتَلِطٍ بِنَارٍ، وَٱلْغَالِبِينَ عَلَى ٱلْوَحْشِ وَصُورَتِهِ وَعَلَى سِمَتِهِ وَعَدَدِ ٱسْمِهِ، وَاقِفِينَ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلزُّجَاجِيِّ، مَعَهُمْ قِيثَارَاتُ ٱللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
| وَهُمْ يُرَتِّلُونَ تَرْنِيمَةَ مُوسَى عَبْدِ ٱللهِ، وَتَرْنِيمَةَ ٱلْخَرُوفِ قَائِلِينَ: «عَظِيمَةٌ وَعَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ أَعْمَالُكَ، أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ! عَادِلَةٌ وَحَقٌّ هِيَ طُرُقُكَ، يَا مَلِكَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ! | ٣ 3 |
They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
| مَنْ لَا يَخَافُكَ يَارَبُّ وَيُمَجِّدُ ٱسْمَكَ؟ لِأَنَّكَ وَحْدَكَ قُدُّوسٌ، لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ سَيَأْتُونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ أَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ قَدْ أُظْهِرَتْ». | ٤ 4 |
O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
| ثُمَّ بَعْدَ هَذَا نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ هَيْكَلُ خَيْمَةِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، | ٥ 5 |
After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
| وَخَرَجَتِ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ وَمَعَهُمُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، وَهُمْ مُتَسَرْبِلُونَ بِكَتَّانٍ نَقِيٍّ وَبَهِيٍّ، وَمُتَمَنْطِقُونَ عِنْدَ صُدُورِهِمْ بِمَنَاطِقَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. | ٦ 6 |
The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
| وَوَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ أَعْطَى ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ سَبْعَةَ جَامَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، مَمْلُوَّةٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. (aiōn g165) | ٧ 7 |
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
| وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْهَيْكَلُ دُخَانًا مِنْ مَجْدِ ٱللهِ وَمِنْ قُدْرَتِهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ حَتَّى كَمِلَتْ سَبْعُ ضَرَبَاتِ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ. | ٨ 8 |
The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
