رُؤيا 5

١ 1 وَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى يَمِينِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ سِفْرًا مَكْتُوبًا مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ وَرَاءٍ، مَخْتُومًا بِسَبْعَةِ خُتُومٍ.

Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

٢ 2 وَرَأَيْتُ مَلَاكًا قَوِيًّا يُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَيَفُكَّ خُتُومَهُ؟».

I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

٣ 3 فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا تَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَلَا أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ.

No one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to read it.

٤ 4 فَصِرْتُ أَنَا أَبْكِي كَثِيرًا، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوجَدْ أَحَدٌ مُسْتَحِقًّا أَنْ يَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَيَقْرَأَهُ وَلَا أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ.

I wept bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to read it.

٥ 5 فَقَالَ لِي وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ: «لَا تَبْكِ. هُوَذَا قَدْ غَلَبَ ٱلْأَسَدُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، أَصْلُ دَاوُدَ، لِيَفْتَحَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَيَفُكَّ خُتُومَهُ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ».

But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

٦ 6 وَرَأَيْتُ فَإِذَا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ وَفِي وَسَطِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ خَرُوفٌ قَائِمٌ كَأَنَّهُ مَذْبُوحٌ، لَهُ سَبْعَةُ قُرُونٍ وَسَبْعُ أَعْيُنٍ، هِيَ سَبْعَةُ أَرْوَاحِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُرْسَلَةُ إِلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

I saw a Lamb standing in the middle of the throne area and among the four living creatures and among the elders. He looked as though he had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

٧ 7 فَأَتَى وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ مِنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ.

He went and took hold of the scroll out of the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne.

٨ 8 وَلَمَّا أَخَذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ خَرَّتِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ شَيْخًا أَمَامَ ٱلْخَروفِ، وَلَهُمْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ قِيثَارَاتٌ وَجَامَاتٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مَمْلُوَّةٌ بَخُورًا هِيَ صَلَوَاتُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and a golden bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

٩ 9 وَهُمْ يَتَرَنَّمُونَ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً قَائِلِينَ: «مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْتَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ ٱلسِّفْرَ وَتَفْتَحَ خُتُومَهُ، لِأَنَّكَ ذُبِحْتَ وَٱشْتَرَيْتَنَا لِلهِ بِدَمِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ وَشَعْبٍ وَأُمَّةٍ،

They sang a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals. For you were slaughtered, and with your blood you purchased people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation.

١٠ 10 وَجَعَلْتَنَا لِإِلَهِنَا مُلُوكًا وَكَهَنَةً، فَسَنَمْلِكُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».

You made them a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

١١ 11 وَنَظَرْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ مَلَائِكَةٍ كَثِيرِينَ حَوْلَ ٱلْعَرْشِ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ، وَكَانَ عَدَدُهُمْ رَبَوَاتِ رَبَوَاتٍ وَأُلُوفَ أُلُوفٍ،

Then I looked and heard the sound of many angels who encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. Their total number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands.

١٢ 12 قَائِلِينَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مُسْتَحِقٌّ هُوَ ٱلْخَروُفُ ٱلْمَذْبُوحُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ ٱلْقُدْرَةَ وَٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَٱلْقُوَّةَ وَٱلْكَرَامَةَ وَٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْبَرَكَةَ!».

They said in a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.”

١٣ 13 وَكُلُّ خَلِيقَةٍ مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَا عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، كُلُّ مَا فِيهَا، سَمِعْتُهَا قَائِلَةً: «لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ وَلِلْخَرُوفِ ٱلْبَرَكَةُ وَٱلْكَرَامَةُ وَٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ». (aiōn g165)

I heard every created thing that was in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea—everything in them—saying, “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise, honor, glory, and the power to rule, forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)

١٤ 14 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ تَقُولُ: «آمِينَ». وَٱلشُّيُوخُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ وَٱلْعِشْرُونَ خَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ.

The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
