رُؤيا 4

١ 1 بَعْدَ هَذَا نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بَابٌ مَفْتُوحٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱلصَّوْتُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ كَبُوقٍ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى هُنَا فَأُرِيَكَ مَا لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَصِيرَ بَعْدَ هَذَا».

After this I saw a door that had been opened in heaven. The voice that I'd heard before, the one that sounded like a trumpet, told me, “Come up here, and I will show you what will happen next.”

٢ 2 وَلِلْوَقْتِ صِرْتُ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، وَإِذَا عَرْشٌ مَوْضُوعٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَعَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ جَالِسٌ.

Immediately I was filled by the Spirit and saw a throne set up in heaven, with someone sitting on the throne.

٣ 3 وَكَانَ ٱلْجَالِسُ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ شِبْهَ حَجَرِ ٱلْيَشْبِ وَٱلْعَقِيقِ، وَقَوْسُ قُزَحَ حَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ شِبْهُ ٱلزُّمُرُّدِ.

The one sitting there shone like jewels, like jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow that circled the throne, shining like an emerald.

٤ 4 وَحَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ عَرْشًا. وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى ٱلْعُرُوشِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ شَيْخًا جَالِسِينَ مُتَسَرْبِلِينَ بِثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ أَكَالِيلُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

Around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and twenty-four elders were sitting on these thrones, dressed in white and wearing golden crowns on their heads.

٥ 5 وَمِنَ ٱلْعَرْشِ يَخْرُجُ بُرُوقٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ. وَأَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ سَبْعَةُ مَصَابِيحِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٌ، هِيَ سَبْعَةُ أَرْوَاحِ ٱللهِ.

From the throne lightning flashed and thunder roared. Seven torches blazed in front of the throne—these are the seven Spirits of God.

٦ 6 وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ بَحْرُ زُجَاجٍ شِبْهُ ٱلْبَلُّورِ. وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةُ حَيَوَانَاتٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ عُيُونًا مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ:

Stretching out in front of the throne was a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center and all around the throne were four living creatures covered in eyes, both front and back.

٧ 7 وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ شِبْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلثَّانِي شِبْهُ عِجْلٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلثَّالِثُ لَهُ وَجْهٌ مِثْلُ وَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلرَّابِعُ شِبْهُ نَسْرٍ طَائِرٍ.

The first creature looked like a lion, the second like a young bull, the third had a human face, and the fourth looked like a flying eagle.

٨ 8 وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ حَوْلَهَا، وَمِنْ دَاخِلٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ عُيُونًا، وَلَا تَزَالُ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا قَائِلَةً: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلْكَائِنُ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي».

The four living creatures each had six wings also covered with eyes. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.”

٩ 9 وَحِينَمَا تُعْطِي ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ مَجْدًا وَكَرَامَةً وَشُكْرًا لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ، ٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ، (aiōn g165)

Whenever the living creatures glorify, honor, and thank the one that sits on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

١٠ 10 يَخِرُّ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ شَيْخًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ، وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ، وَيَطْرَحُونَ أَكَالِيلَهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ قَائِلِينَ: (aiōn g165)

the twenty-four elders fall down before him that sits on the throne. They will worship the one who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne. They say, (aiōn g165)

١١ 11 «أَنْتَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْقُدْرَةَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَهِيَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ كَائِنَةٌ وَخُلِقَتْ».

“Our Lord and our God, you are worthy to be given glory, and honor, and authority, for you created everything. Your will brought Creation into existence.”
