رُؤيا 1

١ 1 إِعْلَانُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ٱللهُ، لِيُرِيَ عَبِيدَهُ مَا لَابُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَبَيَّنَهُ مُرْسِلًا بِيَدِ مَلَاكِهِ لِعَبْدِهِ يُوحَنَّا،

Jesus Christ's revelation, which God gave Him to show to His slaves—things that must occur shortly. And He communicated it, sending it by His angel to His slave John,

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِي شَهِدَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ وَبِشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِكُلِّ مَا رَآهُ.

who gave witness to the word of God, even the testimony of Jesus Christ—the things that He saw, both things that are and those that must happen after these.

٣ 3 طُوبَى لِلَّذِي يَقْرَأُ وَلِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ أَقْوَالَ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ، وَيَحْفَظُونَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَقْتَ قَرِيبٌ.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; because the time is near.

٤ 4 يُوحَنَّا، إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَائِنِ وَٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي، وَمِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ عَرْشِهِ،

John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the sevenfold Spirit who is before His throne,

٥ 5 وَمِنْ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلشَّاهِدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ، ٱلْبِكْرِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، وَرَئِيسِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا، وَقَدْ غَسَّلَنَا مِنْ خَطَايَانَا بِدَمِهِ،

and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood

٦ 6 وَجَعَلَنَا مُلُوكًا وَكَهَنَةً لِلهِ أَبِيهِ، لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165)

—indeed, He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٧ 7 هُوَذَا يَأْتِي مَعَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، وَسَتَنْظُرُهُ كُلُّ عَيْنٍ، وَٱلَّذِينَ طَعَنُوهُ، وَيَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. نَعَمْ آمِينَ.

Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!

٨ 8 «أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ، ٱلْبِدَايَةُ وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ» يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْكَائِنُ وَٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي، ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “He who is and who was and who is coming, The Almighty.”

٩ 9 أَنَا يُوحَنَّا أَخُوكُمْ وَشَرِيكُكُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقَةِ وَفِي مَلَكُوتِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَصَبْرِهِ. كُنْتُ فِي ٱلْجَزِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى بَطْمُسَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ شَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

١٠ 10 كُنْتُ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَمِعْتُ وَرَائِي صَوْتًا عَظِيمًا كَصَوْتِ بُوقٍ

I was in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet,

١١ 11 قَائِلًا: «أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ. ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ. وَٱلَّذِي تَرَاهُ، ٱكْتُبْ فِي كِتَابٍ وَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا: إِلَى أَفَسُسَ، وَإِلَى سِمِيرْنَا، وَإِلَى بَرْغَامُسَ، وَإِلَى ثِيَاتِيرَا، وَإِلَى سَارْدِسَ، وَإِلَى فِيلَادَلْفِيَا، وَإِلَى لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ».

saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

١٢ 12 فَٱلْتَفَتُّ لِأَنْظُرَ ٱلصَّوْتَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي. وَلَمَّا ٱلْتَفَتُّ رَأَيْتُ سَبْعَ مَنَايِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

And there I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

١٣ 13 وَفِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ شِبْهُ ٱبْنِ إِنْسَانٍ، مُتَسَرْبِلًا بِثَوْبٍ إِلَى ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ، وَمُتَمَنْطِقًا عِنْدَ ثَدْيَيْهِ بِمِنْطَقَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

and in the midst of the seven lampstands one similar to a son of man, clothed down to the feet and girded at the nipples with a golden belt.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا رَأْسُهُ وَشَعْرُهُ فَأَبْيَضَانِ كَٱلصُّوفِ ٱلْأَبْيَضِ كَٱلثَّلْجِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

Now His head, that is His hair, was white, like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;

١٥ 15 وَرِجْلَاهُ شِبْهُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلنَّقِيِّ، كَأَنَّهُمَا مَحْمِيَّتَانِ فِي أَتُونٍ. وَصَوْتُهُ كَصَوْتِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;

١٦ 16 وَمَعَهُ فِي يَدِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى سَبْعَةُ كَوَاكِبَ، وَسَيْفٌ مَاضٍ ذُو حَدَّيْنِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَوَجْهُهُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ وَهِيَ تُضِيءُ فِي قُوَّتِهَا.

and He had seven stars on His right hand and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth; and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

١٧ 17 فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ سَقَطْتُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ كَمَيِّتٍ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُمْنَى عَلَيَّ قَائِلًا لِي: «لَا تَخَفْ، أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ،

And when I saw Him I fell at His feet as if dead. And He placed His right hand upon me saying: “Do not fear. I am the First and the Last,

١٨ 18 وَٱلْحَيُّ. وَكُنْتُ مَيْتًا، وَهَا أَنَا حَيٌّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ! آمِينَ. وَلِي مَفَاتِيحُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَٱلْمَوْتِ. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

even the Living One—I became dead, to be sure, and now I am living for ever and ever! Oh yes! And I have the keys of Death and of Hades! (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

١٩ 19 فَٱكْتُبْ مَا رَأَيْتَ، وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ، وَمَا هُوَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ هَذَا.

Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are going to occur after these.

٢٠ 20 سِرُّ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينِي، وَٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةِ: ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ هِيَ مَلَائِكَةُ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ، وَٱلْمَنَايِرُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا هِيَ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ».

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands that you saw are seven churches.
