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 looked, and I saw an open door in heaven. The first voice that I had heard was speaking to me like a trumpet, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”

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

At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw there was a throne placed in heaven, with someone sitting on it.

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

The one who was sitting on it looked like jasper and carnelian. There was a rainbow around the throne. The rainbow looked 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.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, dressed with white garments, with golden crowns on their heads.

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

From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and crashes of thunder. Seven lamps were burning in front of the throne, lamps that were 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:

Before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal. In the middle of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures, full of eyes, front and back.

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

The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had a face like 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».

The four living creatures each had six wings, full of eyes on top and underneath. Night and day they do not stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who was, and who is, and who is to come.”

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

Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever, (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 the one seated on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever. They lay 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».

“Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
