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،

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants what must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John;

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

who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, —of whatever he saw.

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

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; for the time is at hand.

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 which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are 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 first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

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

and made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be the glory and the dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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

Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

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, saith the Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, 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 affliction and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus.

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

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of 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: What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardes, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

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

And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,

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 candlesticks one like to a son of man, clothed with a garment reaching down to the feet, and girded at the breasts with a golden girdle.

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

His head and his hairs were white as white wool, as snow; and his eyes were as 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 if burning in a furnace; and his voice was as 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 in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his 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 dead; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; 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)

and he that liveth; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore; and I have the keys of death and the underworld. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

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

Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall be 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 thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
