رُؤيا 13

١ 1 ثُمَّ وَقَفْتُ عَلَى رَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَرَأَيْتُ وَحْشًا طَالِعًا مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ وَعَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ، وَعَلَى قُرُونِهِ عَشَرَةُ تِيجَانٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِ ٱسْمُ تَجْدِيفٍ.

Then the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. On its horns were ten crowns, and on each of its heads was a blasphemous name.

٢ 2 وَٱلْوَحْشُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ كَانَ شِبْهَ نَمِرٍ، وَقَوَائِمُهُ كَقَوَائِمِ دُبٍّ، وَفَمُهُ كَفَمِ أَسَدٍ. وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱلتِّنِّينُ قُدْرَتَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ وَسُلْطَانًا عَظِيمًا.

This beast I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like a bear's feet, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave his power to it, and his throne, and his great authority to rule.

٣ 3 وَرَأَيْتُ وَاحِدًا مِنْ رُؤُوسِهِ كَأَنَّهُ مَذْبُوحٌ لِلْمَوْتِ، وَجُرْحُهُ ٱلْمُمِيتُ قَدْ شُفِيَ. وَتَعَجَّبَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْوَحْشِ،

One of the beast's heads appeared to have been killed, but its fatal wound was healed. The whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.

٤ 4 وَسَجَدُوا لِلتِّنِّينِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَى ٱلسُّلْطَانَ لِلْوَحْشِ، وَسَجَدُوا لِلْوَحْشِ قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُ ٱلْوَحْشِ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُحَارِبَهُ؟».

They also worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast. They worshiped the beast, too, and kept saying, “Who is like the beast?” and “Who can fight against it?”

٥ 5 وَأُعْطِيَ فَمًا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِعَظَائِمَ وَتَجَادِيفَ، وَأُعْطِيَ سُلْطَانًا أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ شَهْرًا.

The beast was given a mouth that could speak proud words and blasphemies. It was permitted to exercise authority for forty-two months.

٦ 6 فَفَتَحَ فَمَهُ بِٱلتَّجْدِيفِ عَلَى ٱللهِ، لِيُجَدِّفَ عَلَى ٱسْمِهِ، وَعَلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، وَعَلَى ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

So the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God—blaspheming his name, the place where he lives, and those who live in heaven.

٧ 7 وَأُعْطِيَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ حَرْبًا مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَيَغْلِبَهُمْ، وَأُعْطِيَ سُلْطَانًا عَلَى كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ وَأُمَّةٍ.

The beast was permitted to wage war with the saints and to conquer them. Also, authority was given to it over every tribe, people, language, and nation.

٨ 8 فَسَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مَكْتُوبَةً مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ فِي سِفْرِ حَيَاةِ ٱلْخَرُوفِ ٱلَّذِي ذُبِحَ.

All who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written, since the creation of the world, in the Book of Life, which belongs to the Lamb, who had been slaughtered.

٩ 9 مَنْ لَهُ أُذُنٌ فَلْيَسْمَعْ!

If anyone has an ear, let him listen.

١٠ 10 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَجْمَعُ سَبْيًا، فَإِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ يَذْهَبُ. وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَقْتُلُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُقْتَلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. هُنَا صَبْرُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَإِيمَانُهُمْ.

If anyone is to be taken into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. Here is a call for the patient endurance and faith of the saints.

١١ 11 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ وَحْشًا آخَرَ طَالِعًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ قَرْنَانِ شِبْهُ خَرُوفٍ، وَكَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ كَتِنِّينٍ،

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon.

١٢ 12 وَيَعْمَلُ بِكُلِّ سُلْطَانِ ٱلْوَحْشِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ أَمَامَهُ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلْوَحْشِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ٱلَّذِي شُفِيَ جُرْحُهُ ٱلْمُمِيتُ،

It exercised all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and it made the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast—the one whose lethal wound had been healed.

١٣ 13 وَيَصْنَعُ آيَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَجْعَلُ نَارًا تَنْزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ قُدَّامَ ٱلنَّاسِ،

It performed mighty miracles. It even made fire come down on the earth from heaven in front of people.

١٤ 14 وَيُضِلُّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أُعْطِيَ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلْوَحْشِ، قَائِلًا لِلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا صُورَةً لِلْوَحْشِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ بِهِ جُرْحُ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَعَاشَ.

By the signs it was permitted to do, it deceived those who lived on the earth. It told them to make an image in honor of the beast that had the sword wound but lived.

١٥ 15 وَأُعْطِيَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ رُوحًا لِصُورَةِ ٱلْوَحْشِ، حَتَّى تَتَكَلَّمَ صُورَةُ ٱلْوَحْشِ، وَيَجْعَلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِصُورَةِ ٱلْوَحْشِ يُقْتَلُونَ.

It was permitted to give breath to the beast's image so that the image would even speak and cause all who refused to worship the beast to be killed.

١٦ 16 وَيَجْعَلَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ: ٱلصِّغَارَ وَٱلْكِبَارَ، وَٱلْأَغْنِيَاءَ وَٱلْفُقَرَاءَ، وَٱلْأَحْرَارَ وَٱلْعَبِيدَ، تُصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سِمَةٌ عَلَى يَدِهِمِ ٱلْيُمْنَى أَوْ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِمْ،

It also forced everyone, unimportant and mighty, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.

١٧ 17 وَأَنْ لَا يَقْدِرَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ أَوْ يَبِيعَ، إِلَّا مَنْ لَهُ ٱلسِّمَةُ أَوِ ٱسْمُ ٱلْوَحْشِ أَوْ عَدَدُ ٱسْمِهِ.

It was impossible for anyone to buy or sell unless he had the mark of the beast, that is, the number representing its name.

١٨ 18 هُنَا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ! مَنْ لَهُ فَهْمٌ فَلْيَحْسُبْ عَدَدَ ٱلْوَحْشِ، فَإِنَّهُ عَدَدُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَعَدَدُهُ: سِتُّمِئَةٍ وَسِتَّةٌ وَسِتُّونَ.

This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast. For it is the number of a human being. Its number is 666.
