رُؤيا 5

١ 1 وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى يَمِينِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ سِفْرًا مَكْتُوبًا مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ، مَخْتُومًا بِسَبْعَةِ خُتُومٍ.

And I saw, at the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book, which was written within and on the back side, and which was sealed with seven seals.

٢ 2 وَرَأَيْتُ مَلَاكًا قَوِيًّا يُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَيَفُكَّ خُتُومَهُ؟».

And I saw a strong angel, who proclaimed with a loud voice, Who is competent to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

٣ 3 فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا تَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَلَا أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ.

And no one either in heaven above, or on the earth, or beneath the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.

٤ 4 فَصِرْتُ أَنَا أَبْكِي كَثِيرًا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوجَدْ أَحَدٌ مُسْتَحِقًّا أَنْ يَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَيَقْرَأَهُ وَلَا أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ.

And I wept much, because no one was found, who was competent to open the book, or to look on it.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ لِي وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ: «لَا تَبْكِ. هُوَذَا قَدْ غَلَبَ ٱلْأَسَدُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، أَصْلُ دَاوُدَ، لِيَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَيَفُكَّ خُتُومَهُ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ».

And one of the Elders said to me, Weep not; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath been victorious: He will open the book, and its seven seals.

٦ 6 وَرَأَيْتُ فَإِذَا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ خَرُوفٌ قَائِمٌ كَأَنَّهُ مَذْبُوحٌ، لَهُ سَبْعَةُ قُرُونٍ وَسَبْعُ أَعْيُنٍ، هِيَ سَبْعَةُ أَرْوَاحِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُرْسَلَةُ إِلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And I looked, and in the midst of the Elders stood a lamb, as if slain; and it had seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God that are sent into all the earth.

٧ 7 فَأَتَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ مِنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ.

And he came, and took the book from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

٨ 8 وَلَمَّا أَخَذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ خَرَّتِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ شَيْخًا أَمَامَ ٱلْخَروفِ، وَلَهُمْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ قِيثَارَاتٌ وَجَامَاتٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ بَخُورًا هِيَ صَلَوَاتُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

And when he took the book, the four Animals and the twenty and four Elders fell down before the Lamb, each of them having a harp, and cups of gold full of odors, which are the supplications of the saints.

٩ 9 وَهُمْ يَتَرَنَّمُونَ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً قَائِلِينَ: «مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْتَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَتَفْتَحَ خُتُومَهُ، لِأَنَّكَ ذُبِحْتَ وَٱشْتَرَيْتَنَا لِلهِ بِدَمِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ وَشَعْبٍ وَأُمَّةٍ،

And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

١٠ 10 وَجَعَلْتَنَا لِإِلَهِنَا مُلُوكًا وَكَهَنَةً، فَسَنَمْلِكُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».

and thou hast made them kings and priests to our God; and they reign on the earth.

١١ 11 وَنَظَرْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ مَلَائِكَةٍ كَثِيرِينَ حَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ، وَكَانَ عَدَدُهُمْ رَبَوَاتِ رَبَوَاتٍ وَأُلُوفَ أُلُوفٍ،

And I looked, and I heard, as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne, and the Animals and the Elders; and the number of them was a myriad of myriads, and thousand of thousands,

١٢ 12 قَائِلِينَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مُسْتَحِقٌّ هُوَ ٱلْخَروُفُ ٱلْمَذْبُوحُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ ٱلْقُدْرَةَ وَٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَٱلْقُوَّةَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْبَرَكَةَ!».

who said, with a loud voice; Competent is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing;

١٣ 13 وَكُلُّ خَلِيقَةٍ مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَا عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، كُلُّ مَا فِيهَا، سَمِعْتُهَا قَائِلَةً: «لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ وَلِلْخَرُوفِ ٱلْبَرَكَةُ وَٱلْكَرَامَةُ وَٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ». (aiōn g165)

and to be over every created thing, that is in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, or in the sea; and all that are in them. And I heard him who sat on the throne say: Unto the Lamb be given, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

١٤ 14 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ تَقُولُ: «آمِينَ». وَٱلشُّيُوخُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ خَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ.

And the four Animals said: Amen. And the Elders fell down, and adored.
