رُؤيا 4
| 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». | ١ 1 |
After this, in my vision, I saw an open door in the heavens, and the first voice that I heard was like the blast of a trumpet speaking to me. It said — ‘Come up here and I will show you what must take place.’
| وَلِلْوَقْتِ صِرْتُ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، وَإِذَا عَرْشٌ مَوْضُوعٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَعَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ جَالِسٌ. | ٢ 2 |
Immediately after this I fell into a trance. There stood a throne in Heaven, and on the throne was One seated.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْجَالِسُ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ شِبْهَ حَجَرِ ٱلْيَشْبِ وَٱلْعَقِيقِ، وَقَوْسُ قُزَحَ حَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ شِبْهُ ٱلزُّمُرُّدِ. | ٣ 3 |
He who was seated on it was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius; and ‘round the throne there was a rainbow’ of the colour of an emerald.
| وَحَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ عَرْشًا. وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى ٱلْعُرُوشِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ شَيْخًا جَالِسِينَ مُتَسَرْبِلِينَ بِثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ أَكَالِيلُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. | ٤ 4 |
And round the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these I saw twenty-four Councillors sitting clothed in white robes; and on their heads they had crowns of gold.
| وَمِنَ ٱلْعَرْشِ يَخْرُجُ بُرُوقٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ. وَأَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ سَبْعَةُ مَصَابِيحِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٌ، هِيَ سَبْعَةُ أَرْوَاحِ ٱللهِ. | ٥ 5 |
Out from the throne ‘come flashes of lightning, cries, and peals of thunder’! There are seven torches burning in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits of God;
| وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ بَحْرُ زُجَاجٍ شِبْهُ ٱلْبَلُّورِ. وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةُ حَيَوَانَاتٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ عُيُونًا مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ: | ٦ 6 |
and in front of the throne is what seemed to be a sea of glass, ‘resembling crystal, while within the space before the throne and round the throne are four Creatures full of eyes’ in front and behind.
| وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ شِبْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلثَّانِي شِبْهُ عِجْلٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلثَّالِثُ لَهُ وَجْهٌ مِثْلُ وَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلرَّابِعُ شِبْهُ نَسْرٍ طَائِرٍ. | ٧ 7 |
The first Creature is like a lion, the second Creature like a calf, the third Creature has a face like a man’s, and the fourth Creature is like an eagle on the wing.
| 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». | ٨ 8 |
These four Creatures have each of them six wings, and all round, and within, they are full of eyes; and day and night they never cease to say — ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, our God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who shall be.’
| وَحِينَمَا تُعْطِي ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ مَجْدًا وَكَرَامَةً وَشُكْرًا لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ، ٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ، (aiōn g165) | ٩ 9 |
And, whenever these Creatures give praise and honour and thanks to him who is ‘seated on the throne, to him who lives for ever and ever,’ (aiōn g165)
| يَخِرُّ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ شَيْخًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ، وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ، وَيَطْرَحُونَ أَكَالِيلَهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ قَائِلِينَ: (aiōn g165) | ١٠ 10 |
the twenty-four Councillors prostrate themselves before him who is seated on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne, saying — (aiōn g165)
| «أَنْتَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْقُدْرَةَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَهِيَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ كَائِنَةٌ وَخُلِقَتْ». | ١١ 11 |
‘Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive all praise, and honour, and power, for thou didst create all things, and at thy bidding they came into being and were created.’
