< رُؤيا 12 >
وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ: امْرَأَةٌ لابِسَةٌ الشَّمْسَ، وَالْقَمَرُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهَا، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهَا تَاجٌ مِنِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَجْماً. | ١ 1 |
And, a great sign, appeared in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and, the moon, beneath her feet, and, upon her head, a crown of twelve stars;
وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى تَصْرُخُ مِنْ أَلَمِ الْوِلادَةِ وَتَتَوَجَّعُ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ. | ٢ 2 |
and she was with child, and crieth out, being in pangs and in anguish to bring forth?
وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ أُخْرَى: تِنِّينٌ عَظِيمٌ أَحْمَرُ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ، عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهَا تَاجٌ، وَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ، | ٣ 3 |
And there appeared another sign in heaven; and lo! a great red dragon, —having seven heads and ten horns, and, upon his heads, seven diadems;
فَسَحَبَ بِذَيْلِهِ ثُلْثَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. ثُمَّ وَقَفَ التِّنِّينُ أَمَامَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ، لِيَبْتَلِعَ طِفْلَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَلِدَهُ! | ٤ 4 |
and, his tail, draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And, the dragon, stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, as soon as she should bring forth, he might devour, her child.
وَوَلَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ابْناً ذَكَراً، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَحْكُمُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. وَرُفِعَ الطِّفْلُ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَإِلَى عَرْشِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
And she brought forth a son, a manchild, who was about to shepherd all the nations with a sceptre of iron; and her child was caught away unto God and unto his throne.
أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَهَرَبَتْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ أَعدَّ اللهُ لَهَا مَكَاناً تُعَالُ فِيهِ مُدَّةَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوْماً. | ٦ 6 |
And, the woman, fled into the desert, where she hath a place prepared of God, that, there, they should nourish her a thousand, two hundred, and sixty days.
وَنَشِبَتْ حَرْبٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ، إِذْ هَاجَمَ مِيخَائِيلُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ التِّنِّينَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ، | ٧ 7 |
And there came to be war in heaven: Michael and his messengers [going forth] to war with the dragon; and, the dragon, fought, and his messengers;
وَحَارَبَ التِّنِّينُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ، لَكِنَّهُمُ انْهَزَمُوا وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ مَكَانٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ، | ٨ 8 |
and he prevailed not, neither was place found for them, any longer, in heaven.
إِذْ طُرِحُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. هَذَا التِّنِّينُ الْعَظِيمُ هُوَ الْحَيَّةُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، وَيُسَمَّى إِبْلِيسَ وَالشَّيْطَانَ الَّذِي يُضَلِّلُ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٩ 9 |
And the great dragon was cast out, —the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world, —he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast.
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً عَالِياً فِي السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ: «الآنَ تَمَّ خَلاصُ إِلَهِنَا، وَآلَتِ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْمُلْكُ إِلَيْهِ وَالسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى مَسِيحِهِ! فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ طُرِحَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الْمُشْتَكِي الَّذِي يَتَّهِمُ إِخْوَتَنَا أَمَامَ إِلهِنَا لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً. | ١٠ 10 |
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying—Now, hath come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren hath been cast out, who was accusing them before our God day and night;
وَهُمْ قَدِ انْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِ بِدَمِ الْحَمَلِ وَبِالْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي شَهِدُوا لَهَا، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَيَاتُهُمْ عَزِيزَةً لَدَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مَاتُوا. | ١١ 11 |
And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.
افْرَحِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وافْرَحُوا يَا أَهْلَهَا، الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ، لأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ هَبَطَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي شِدَّةِ الْغَضَبِ، عَالِماً أَنَّ أَيَّامَهُ صَارَتْ مَعْدُودَةً». | ١٢ 12 |
For this cause, be joyful, O heavens, and ye who, therein, are tabernacling. Woe! unto the earth, and the sea, because the Adversary hath come down unto you, having great wrath—knowing that, but a little season, he hath.
وَعِنْدَمَا وَجَدَ التِّنِّينُ أَنَّهُ طُرِحَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، أَخَذَ يُطَارِدُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتِ الطِّفْلَ الذَّكَرَ، | ١٣ 13 |
And, when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he pursued the woman who had brought forth the manchild.
فَأُعْطِيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ جَنَاحَيِ النَّسْرِ الْعَظِيمِ، لِتَطِيرَ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الْمُجَهَّزِ لَهَا، حَيْثُ تُعَالُ بِمَأْمَنٍ مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ، مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفِ السَّنَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And there were given unto the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, into her place, —where she is nourished, a season and seasons and half a season, from the face of the serpent.
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْحَيَّةُ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا خَلْفَ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا يُشْبِهُ النَّهْرَ لِتُغْرِقَهَا فِيهِ، | ١٥ 15 |
And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
وَلكِنَّ الأَرْضَ أَعَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَفَتَحَتْ فَمَهَا وَابْتَلَعَتِ النَّهْرَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُ التِّنِّينُ مِنْ فَمِهِ! | ١٦ 16 |
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
فَاغْتَاظَ التِّنِّينُ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَشَنَّ حَرْباً عَلَى بَاقِي أَوْلادِهَا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِوَصَايَا اللهِ وَعِنْدَهُمُ الشَّهَادَةُ لِيَسُوعَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And the dragon was angered against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed—with them who were keeping the commandments of God, and holding the witness of Jesus; —and he stood upon the sand of the sea.
