رُؤيا 22

١ 1 وَأَرَانِي نَهْرًا صَافِيًا مِنْ مَاءِ حَيَاةٍ لَامِعًا كَبَلُّورٍ، خَارِجًا مِنْ عَرْشِ ٱللهِ وَٱلْخَرُوفِ.

The angel showed me the river of water [that causes people who drink from it] to live [forever]. The water was sparkling and clear like crystal. The river was flowing out from the throne where God and the [one who is like a] lamb [were sitting].

٢ 2 فِي وَسَطِ سُوقِهَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ، شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ تَصْنَعُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ ثَمَرَةً، وَتُعْطِي كُلَّ شَهْرٍ ثَمَرَهَا، وَوَرَقُ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ لِشِفَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

It flowed down through the middle of the [main] street of the city. On each side of the river were trees [bearing fruit that causes people who eat it] to live forever. [The trees] bear twelve [crops] (OR, twelve [kinds]) of fruit; [they] produce one crop each month. The [people of the] nations [MTY] [use] the leaves of these trees [as medicine] in order that they may feel stronger

٣ 3 وَلَا تَكُونُ لَعْنَةٌ مَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ. وَعَرْشُ ٱللهِ وَٱلْخَرُوفِ يَكُونُ فِيهَا، وَعَبِيدُهُ يَخْدِمُونَهُ.

There will never be [anyone or anything there that God] will be [under God’s] curse. The throne of God and the [one who is like a] lamb will be in the city. And God’s servants will worship him there.

٤ 4 وَهُمْ سَيَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَهُ، وَٱسْمُهُ عَلَى جِبَاهِهِمْ.

They will see him face-to-face, and his name will be [written] {[he] will [write] his name} on their foreheads.

٥ 5 وَلَا يَكُونُ لَيْلٌ هُنَاكَ، وَلَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى سِرَاجٍ أَوْ نُورِ شَمْسٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ يُنِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ سَيَمْلِكُونَ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. (aiōn g165)

There will never again be night. [God’s servants] will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine his light upon them. And they will rule forever. (aiōn g165)

٦ 6 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالُ أَمِينَةٌ وَصَادِقَةٌ. وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ أَرْسَلَ مَلَاكَهُ لِيُرِيَ عَبِيدَهُ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ سَرِيعًا».

The angel said to me: “These words that [God has revealed to you] are true, and he will certainly do what he has promised to do. The Lord God who ([inspires] the prophets/tells the prophets what to say) sent his angel to show the people who serve him the events that must happen soon.”

٧ 7 «هَا أَنَا آتِي سَرِيعًا. طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَحْفَظُ أَقْوَالَ نُبُوَّةِ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ».

[Jesus says to all his people], “Listen [to] this! I am coming soon; [God will abundantly] bless everyone who obeys what [has been commanded] in this book.”

٨ 8 وَأَنَا يُوحَنَّا ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَنْظُرُ وَيَسْمَعُ هَذَا. وَحِينَ سَمِعْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ، خَرَرْتُ لِأَسْجُدَ أَمَامَ رِجْلَيِ ٱلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُرِينِي هَذَا.

I, John, am the one who heard and saw [in a vision] these things [that I have written down]. When I had heard and seen [them], I immediately knelt down at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me, in order to worship him.

٩ 9 فَقَالَ لِيَ: «ٱنْظُرْ لَا تَفْعَلْ! لِأَنِّي عَبْدٌ مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِخْوَتِكَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ أَقْوَالَ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ. ٱسْجُدْ لِلهِ!».

But he said to me, “Do not [worship me] I am [just] your fellow servant! I am also the fellow servant of your fellow believers who are (the prophets/the ones who tell messages that come directly from God), and I am a fellow servant of those who obey what has been commanded in this book. [Instead], worship God!”

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لِي: «لَا تَخْتِمْ عَلَى أَقْوَالِ نُبُوَّةِ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَقْتَ قَرِيبٌ.

He also said to me, “Do not keep secret the message about what [God] has foretold in this book, because it is almost time [MTY] for him to [what he has promised to do in this message].

١١ 11 مَنْ يَظْلِمْ فَلْيَظْلِمْ بَعْدُ. وَمَنْ هُوَ نَجِسٌ فَلْيَتَنَجَّسْ بَعْدُ. وَمَنْ هُوَ بَارٌّ فَلْيَتَبَرَّرْ بَعْدُ. وَمَنْ هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ فَلْيَتَقَدَّسْ بَعْدُ».

[Since that time is near, if] those who act in an evil manner [want to] continue to act that way [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that. If] those who are vile [want to] continue to be vile [IRO], [that is up to them. God will soon] ([pay them back/punish them]) [for that]. Those who are [acting] righteously should continue to act righteously. And those who are holy should continue to be holy.”

١٢ 12 «وَهَا أَنَا آتِي سَرِيعًا وَأُجْرَتِي مَعِي لِأُجَازِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ كَمَا يَكُونُ عَمَلُهُ.

[Jesus says this to everyone]: “Listen! I am coming soon! And I will pay back everyone according to what each one has done, by [punishing or] rewarding them.

١٣ 13 أَنَا ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ، ٱلْبِدَايَةُ وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ، ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ».

I [am] the one who began all things [MET] and the one who will cause all things to end [MET]. I existed before [all things existed] and I will exist at the end [of all things] [DOU].

١٤ 14 طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَصْنَعُونَ وَصَايَاهُ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ سُلْطَانُهُمْ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَيَدْخُلُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ،

[God] is very pleased with the people who wash their robes, [making themselves spiritually clean] [MET], because they will be able to [eat the fruit of] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever], and because they will [be able] to enter the gates into the [holy] city.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّ خَارِجًا ٱلْكِلَابَ وَٱلسَّحَرَةَ وَٱلزُّنَاةَ وَٱلْقَتَلَةَ وَعَبَدَةَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَيَصْنَعُ كَذِبًا.

[People who are unholy] will not be allowed to enter the city. They include people who practice sorcery, people who sin sexually, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who enjoys telling lies and are continual liars. [They can never enter that city].”

١٦ 16 «أَنَا يَسُوعُ، أَرْسَلْتُ مَلَاكِي لِأَشْهَدَ لَكُمْ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ عَنِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ. أَنَا أَصْلُ وَذُرِّيَّةُ دَاوُدَ. كَوْكَبُ ٱلصُّبْحِ ٱلْمُنِيرُ».

“I, Jesus, sent my angel in order that he might tell you who are in the congregations [that all] these things [that have been said are true]. I am the descendant of [King] David [whom the prophets promised would come] [MET]. I am the [one who is like] the bright morning star [MET], the one [that Moses promised would come].”

١٧ 17 وَٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْعَرُوسُ يَقُولَانِ: «تَعَالَ!». وَمَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيَقُلْ: «تَعَالَ!». وَمَنْ يَعْطَشْ فَلْيَأْتِ. وَمَنْ يُرِدْ فَلْيَأْخُذْ مَاءَ حَيَاةٍ مَجَّانًا.

[God’s] Spirit and [his people, who are like] [MET] the bride [of Christ], say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” Whoever hears [this] should also say [to each one who desires to believe], “Come!” [Spiritually thirsty people should come] [MET]! Everyone who desires the water [that enables people to] live [forever] should take it as a free gift!

١٨ 18 لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ نُبُوَّةِ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا، يَزِيدُ ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ.

“I, [Jesus, solemnly] warn everyone who hears what [I] have foretold in this book: If anyone adds anything to this message, God will cause him to experience the plagues that are {that [I] have} described in this book.

١٩ 19 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْذِفُ مِنْ أَقْوَالِ كِتَابِ هَذِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ، يَحْذِفُ ٱللهُ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ فِي هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ.

If anyone omits any of the message about what [I] have foretold in this book, God will take away that person’s right [to eat fruit from] [MTY] the tree [that enables people] to live [forever]. He [will also take away] that person’s right [to enter] God’s city. [Both these things] are described {[I] have described [both these things]} in this book.”

٢٠ 20 يَقُولُ ٱلشَّاهِدُ بِهَذَا: «نَعَمْ! أَنَا آتِي سَرِيعًا». آمِينَ. تَعَالَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ.

[Jesus], who says that [all] the things written here are true, says, “Certainly I am coming soon!” [I, John, reply], “(May it be so!/Amen!) Lord Jesus, come!”

٢١ 21 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.

[I pray that our] Lord Jesus [will continue to] act kindly to all [of you who are God’s people]. (Amen!/May it be so!)
