رُؤيا 4

١ 1 بَعْدَ هَذَا نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بَابٌ مَفْتُوحٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱلصَّوْتُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ كَبُوقٍ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي قَائِلًا: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى هُنَا فَأُرِيَكَ مَا لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَصِيرَ بَعْدَ هَذَا».

After these things I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard, like the voice of a trumpet speaking with me, said: Come up hither, and I will show you things that must be hereafter.

٢ 2 وَلِلْوَقْتِ صِرْتُ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، وَإِذَا عَرْشٌ مَوْضُوعٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَعَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ جَالِسٌ.

And immediately I was in spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne;

٣ 3 وَكَانَ ٱلْجَالِسُ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ شِبْهَ حَجَرِ ٱلْيَشْبِ وَٱلْعَقِيقِ، وَقَوْسُ قُزَحَ حَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ شِبْهُ ٱلزُّمُرُّدِ.

and he that sat was, in appearance, like a jasper and sardine-stone: and there was round about the throne a rainbow, in appearance like an emerald.

٤ 4 وَحَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ عَرْشًا. وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى ٱلْعُرُوشِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ شَيْخًا جَالِسِينَ مُتَسَرْبِلِينَ بِثِيَابٍ بِيضٍ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ أَكَالِيلُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

And round about the throne were twenty-four thrones; and on the thrones there sat twenty-four elders, clothed in white raiment; and on their heads were crowns of gold.

٥ 5 وَمِنَ ٱلْعَرْشِ يَخْرُجُ بُرُوقٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ. وَأَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ سَبْعَةُ مَصَابِيحِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٌ، هِيَ سَبْعَةُ أَرْوَاحِ ٱللهِ.

And out of the throne there went lightnings and thunderings and voices; and seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne: these are the seven spirits of God.

٦ 6 وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ بَحْرُ زُجَاجٍ شِبْهُ ٱلْبَلُّورِ. وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةُ حَيَوَانَاتٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ عُيُونًا مِنْ قُدَّامٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ:

And before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

٧ 7 وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ شِبْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلثَّانِي شِبْهُ عِجْلٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلثَّالِثُ لَهُ وَجْهٌ مِثْلُ وَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ، وَٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلرَّابِعُ شِبْهُ نَسْرٍ طَائِرٍ.

And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature was like a calf, and the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

٨ 8 وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ حَوْلَهَا، وَمِنْ دَاخِلٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ عُيُونًا، وَلَا تَزَالُ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا قَائِلَةً: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلْكَائِنُ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي».

And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they are full of eyes within; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.

٩ 9 وَحِينَمَا تُعْطِي ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ مَجْدًا وَكَرَامَةً وَشُكْرًا لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ، ٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ، (aiōn g165)

And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him that sits on the throne, who lives from age to age, (aiōn g165)

١٠ 10 يَخِرُّ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ شَيْخًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ، وَيَسْجُدُونَ لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ، وَيَطْرَحُونَ أَكَالِيلَهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ قَائِلِينَ: (aiōn g165)

the twenty-four elders fall down before him that sits on the throne, and worship him that lives from age to age, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)

١١ 11 «أَنْتَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْقُدْرَةَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَهِيَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ كَائِنَةٌ وَخُلِقَتْ».

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and by thy will they exist, and were created.
