رُؤيا 5

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

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sits on the throne a scroll written on the inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.

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

And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

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

But no one in heaven above or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look into it.

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

So I began to weep loudly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look into 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».

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered; he is the one who can open the scroll 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.

Then I saw a Lamb that looked like it had been slain; he was standing among the elders in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

٧ 7 فَأَتَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ مِنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ.

He went and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who was sitting 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.

When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers 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 sang a new song: “Worthy are yoʋ to take the scroll and open its seals, for yoʋ were slain, and by yoʋr blood yoʋ redeemed us for God out of every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.

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

Yoʋ have made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

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

Then I looked, and I heard something like the voice of many angels coming from around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,

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

and they were saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor, 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)

Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor, glory and power forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)

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

And I heard the four living creatures saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
