رُؤيا 9

١ 1 ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلْخَامِسُ، فَرَأَيْتُ كَوْكَبًا قَدْ سَقَطَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأُعْطِيَ مِفْتَاحَ بِئْرِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Abyssos g12)

The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)

٢ 2 فَفَتَحَ بِئْرَ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، فَصَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنَ ٱلْبِئْرِ كَدُخَانِ أَتُونٍ عَظِيمٍ، فَأَظْلَمَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْجَوُّ مِنْ دُخَانِ ٱلْبِئْرِ. (Abyssos g12)

He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

٣ 3 وَمِنَ ٱلدُّخَانِ خَرَجَ جَرَادٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأُعْطِيَ سُلْطَانًا كَمَا لِعَقَارِبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ سُلْطَانٌ.

Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

٤ 4 وَقِيلَ لَهُ أَنْ لَا يَضُرَّ عُشْبَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا شَيْئًا أَخْضَرَ وَلَا شَجَرَةً مَا، إِلَّا ٱلنَّاسَ فَقَطِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَتْمُ ٱللهِ عَلَى جِبَاهِهِمْ.

They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.

٥ 5 وَأُعْطِيَ أَنْ لَا يَقْتُلَهُمْ بَلْ أَنْ يَتَعَذَّبُوا خَمْسَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَعَذَابُهُ كَعَذَابِ عَقْرَبٍ إِذَا لَدَغَ إِنْسَانًا.

They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.

٦ 6 وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ سَيَطْلُبُ ٱلنَّاسُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَلَا يَجِدُونَهُ، وَيَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا فَيَهْرُبُ ٱلْمَوْتُ مِنْهُمْ.

In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

٧ 7 وَشَكْلُ ٱلْجَرَادِ شِبْهُ خَيْلٍ مُهَيَّأَةٍ لِلْحَرْبِ، وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا كَأَكَالِيلِ شِبْهِ ٱلذَّهَبِ، وَوُجُوهُهَا كَوُجُوهِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.

٨ 8 وَكَانَ لَهَا شَعْرٌ كَشَعْرِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، وَكَانَتْ أَسْنَانُهَا كَأَسْنَانِ ٱلْأُسُودِ،

They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

٩ 9 وَكَانَ لَهَا دُرُوعٌ كَدُرُوعٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَصَوْتُ أَجْنِحَتِهَا كَصَوْتِ مَرْكَبَاتِ خَيْلٍ كَثِيرَةٍ تَجْرِي إِلَى قِتَالٍ.

They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.

١٠ 10 وَلَهَا أَذْنَابٌ شِبْهُ ٱلْعَقَارِبِ، وَكَانَتْ فِي أَذْنَابِهَا حُمَاتٌ، وَسُلْطَانُهَا أَنْ تُؤْذِيَ ٱلنَّاسَ خَمْسَةَ أَشْهُرٍ.

They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

١١ 11 وَلَهَا مَلَاكُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مَلِكًا عَلَيْهَا، ٱسْمُهُ بِٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّةِ «أَبَدُّونَ»، وَلَهُ بِٱلْيُونَانِيَّةِ ٱسْمُ «أَبُولِّيُّونَ». (Abyssos g12)

They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”, but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”. (Abyssos g12)

١٢ 12 ٱلْوَيْلُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ مَضَى هُوَذَا يَأْتِي وَيْلَانِ أَيْضًا بَعْدَ هَذَا.

The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلسَّادِسُ، فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ قُرُونِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱللهِ،

The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

١٤ 14 قَائِلًا لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلسَّادِسِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ ٱلْبُوقُ: «فُكَّ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةَ ٱلْمُقَيَّدِينَ عِنْدَ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ».

saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

١٥ 15 فَٱنْفَكَّ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ ٱلْمُعَدُّونَ لِلسَّاعَةِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ وَٱلشَّهْرِ وَٱلسَّنَةِ، لِكَيْ يَقْتُلُوا ثُلْثَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

١٦ 16 وَعَدَدُ جُيُوشِ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ مِئَتَا أَلْفِ أَلْفٍ وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ عَدَدَهُمْ.

The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

١٧ 17 وَهَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ ٱلْخَيْلَ فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَٱلْجَالِسِينَ عَلَيْهَا، لَهُمْ دُرُوعٌ نَارِيَّةٌ وَأَسْمَانْجُونِيَّةٌ وَكِبْرِيتِيَّةٌ، وَرُؤُوسُ ٱلْخَيْلِ كَرُؤُوسِ ٱلْأُسُودِ، وَمِنْ أَفْوَاهِهَا يَخْرُجُ نَارٌ وَدُخَانٌ وَكِبْرِيتٌ.

Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

١٨ 18 مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ قُتِلَ ثُلْثُ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ وَٱلدُّخَانِ وَٱلْكِبْرِيتِ ٱلْخَارِجَةِ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهَا،

By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

١٩ 19 فَإِنَّ سُلْطَانَهَا هُوَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا وَفِي أَذْنَابِهَا، لِأَنَّ أَذْنَابَهَا شِبْهُ ٱلْحَيَّاتِ، وَلَهَا رُؤُوسٌ وَبِهَا تَضُرُّ.

For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.

٢٠ 20 وَأَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقْتَلُوا بِهَذِهِ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ، فَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنْ أَعْمَالِ أَيْدِيهِمْ، حَتَّى لَا يَسْجُدُوا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَصْنَامِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلنُّحَاسِ وَٱلْحَجَرِ وَٱلْخَشَبِ ٱلَّتِي لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُبْصِرَ وَلَا تَسْمَعَ وَلَا تَمْشِيَ،

The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, hear, or walk.

٢١ 21 وَلَا تَابُوا عَنْ قَتْلِهِمْ وَلَا عَنْ سِحْرِهِمْ وَلَا عَنْ زِنَاهُمْ وَلَا عَنْ سَرِقَتِهِمْ.

They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
