رُؤيا 1

١ 1 إِعْلَانُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ٱللهُ، لِيُرِيَ عَبِيدَهُ مَا لَابُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَبَيَّنَهُ مُرْسِلًا بِيَدِ مَلَاكِهِ لِعَبْدِهِ يُوحَنَّا،

This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it to his servant John

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِي شَهِدَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ وَبِشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِكُلِّ مَا رَآهُ.

who confirmed everything he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

٣ 3 طُوبَى لِلَّذِي يَقْرَأُ وَلِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ أَقْوَالَ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ، وَيَحْفَظُونَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَقْتَ قَرِيبٌ.

Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.

٤ 4 يُوحَنَّا، إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَائِنِ وَٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي، وَمِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ عَرْشِهِ،

This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits before his throne,

٥ 5 وَمِنْ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلشَّاهِدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ، ٱلْبِكْرِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، وَرَئِيسِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا، وَقَدْ غَسَّلَنَا مِنْ خَطَايَانَا بِدَمِهِ،

and from Jesus Christ the trustworthy witness, the firstborn from the dead, the ruler of earthly kings. To Jesus who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,

٦ 6 وَجَعَلَنَا مُلُوكًا وَكَهَنَةً لِلهِ أَبِيهِ، لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165)

who made us into his kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to Jesus be glory and authority for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٧ 7 هُوَذَا يَأْتِي مَعَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، وَسَتَنْظُرُهُ كُلُّ عَيْنٍ، وَٱلَّذِينَ طَعَنُوهُ، وَيَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. نَعَمْ آمِينَ.

Look, he is coming surrounded by clouds, and everybody shall see him, even those who killed him. All the peoples of the earth will weep because of him. May it be so! Amen.

٨ 8 «أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ، ٱلْبِدَايَةُ وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ» يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْكَائِنُ وَٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي، ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

“I am the Beginning and the End,” says the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.

٩ 9 أَنَا يُوحَنَّا أَخُوكُمْ وَشَرِيكُكُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقَةِ وَفِي مَلَكُوتِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَصَبْرِهِ. كُنْتُ فِي ٱلْجَزِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى بَطْمُسَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ شَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

I am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by Jesus.

١٠ 10 كُنْتُ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَمِعْتُ وَرَائِي صَوْتًا عَظِيمًا كَصَوْتِ بُوقٍ

I was filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.

١١ 11 قَائِلًا: «أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ. ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ. وَٱلَّذِي تَرَاهُ، ٱكْتُبْ فِي كِتَابٍ وَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا: إِلَى أَفَسُسَ، وَإِلَى سِمِيرْنَا، وَإِلَى بَرْغَامُسَ، وَإِلَى ثِيَاتِيرَا، وَإِلَى سَارْدِسَ، وَإِلَى فِيلَادَلْفِيَا، وَإِلَى لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ».

It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

١٢ 12 فَٱلْتَفَتُّ لِأَنْظُرَ ٱلصَّوْتَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي. وَلَمَّا ٱلْتَفَتُّ رَأَيْتُ سَبْعَ مَنَايِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I turned I saw seven golden candlesticks,

١٣ 13 وَفِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ شِبْهُ ٱبْنِ إِنْسَانٍ، مُتَسَرْبِلًا بِثَوْبٍ إِلَى ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ، وَمُتَمَنْطِقًا عِنْدَ ثَدْيَيْهِ بِمِنْطَقَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

and standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا رَأْسُهُ وَشَعْرُهُ فَأَبْيَضَانِ كَٱلصُّوفِ ٱلْأَبْيَضِ كَٱلثَّلْجِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

His hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming fire.

١٥ 15 وَرِجْلَاهُ شِبْهُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلنَّقِيِّ، كَأَنَّهُمَا مَحْمِيَّتَانِ فِي أَتُونٍ. وَصَوْتُهُ كَصَوْتِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.

١٦ 16 وَمَعَهُ فِي يَدِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى سَبْعَةُ كَوَاكِبَ، وَسَيْفٌ مَاضٍ ذُو حَدَّيْنِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَوَجْهُهُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ وَهِيَ تُضِيءُ فِي قُوَّتِهَا.

He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.

١٧ 17 فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ سَقَطْتُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ كَمَيِّتٍ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُمْنَى عَلَيَّ قَائِلًا لِي: «لَا تَخَفْ، أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ،

When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, I am the first and the last,

١٨ 18 وَٱلْحَيُّ. وَكُنْتُ مَيْتًا، وَهَا أَنَا حَيٌّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ! آمِينَ. وَلِي مَفَاتِيحُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَٱلْمَوْتِ. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

the living one. I was dead, but look! Now I am alive for ever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and the grave. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)

١٩ 19 فَٱكْتُبْ مَا رَأَيْتَ، وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ، وَمَا هُوَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ هَذَا.

So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.

٢٠ 20 سِرُّ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينِي، وَٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةِ: ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ هِيَ مَلَائِكَةُ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ، وَٱلْمَنَايِرُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا هِيَ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ».

The meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.”
