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 this I loked and beholde a dore was open in heven and the fyrste voyce which I harde was as it were of a trompet talkinge with me which said: come vp hydder and I will shewe the thynges which must be fulfyllyd hereafter

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

And immediatly I was in the sprete: and beholde a seate was put in heven and one sate on the seate.

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

And he that sat was to loke apo like vnto a iaspar stone and a sardyne stone: And there was a rayne bowe aboute the seate in syght lyke to an Emeralde.

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

And aboute the seate were. xxiiii. seates. And upon the seates. xxiiii. elders syttinge clothed in whyte rayment and had on their heddes crounes of gold.

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

And out of the seate proceded lightnynges and thundrynges and voyces and there wer vii. lampes of fyre burninge before ye seate which are the vii. sprettes 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 seate there was a see of glasse lyke vnto cristall and in the myddes of the seate and rounde aboute the seate were iiii. bestes full of eyes before and behynde.

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

And the fyrste best was lyke a lion the seconde best lyke a calfe and ye thyrde beste had a face as a man and the fourthe beste was like a flyinge egle.

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 iiii. bestes had eche one of them vi. wynges aboute him and they were full of eyes with in. And they had noo reste daye nether nyght sayinge: holy holy holy lorde god almyghty which 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 those beestes gave glory and honour and thankes to him that sat on the seate which lyveth for ever 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 xxiiii. elders fell doune before him that sat on the trone and worshipped him that lyveth for ever and caste their crounes before the trone sayinge: (aiōn g165)

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

thou arte worthy lorde to receave glory and honoure and power for thou haste created all thinges and for thy wylles sake they are and were created.
