< رُؤيا 4 >
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَأَيْتُ بَاباً مَفْتُوحاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَإذَا الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يُخَاطِبُنِي كَأَنَّهُ بُوقٌ، وَيَقُولُ: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى هُنَا فَأُرِيَكَ مَا لابُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ بَعْدَ هَذَا». | ١ 1 |
After these things, I looked and lo, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard, was as of a trumpet talking with me. It said, Come up hither; and I will show thee the things that must occur hereafter.
وَفِي الْحَالِ صِرْتُ فِي الرُّوحِ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي السَّمَاءِ عَرْشاً يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدٌ | ٢ 2 |
Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated on the throne.
تَنْبَعِثُ مِنْهُ أَنْوَارٌ كَأَنَّهَا صَادِرَةٌ مِنْ لَمَعَانِ الْيَشْبِ وَالْعَقِيقِ الأَحْمَرِ. وَحَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ قَوْسُ قُزَحٍ يَلْمَعُ كَأَنَّهُ الزُّمُرُّدُ. | ٣ 3 |
And he who sat, was like the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.
وَقَدْ أَحَاطَ بِالْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ عَرْشاً يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ شَيْخاً يَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَاباً بَيْضَاءَ، وَعَلَى رُؤَوسِهِمْ أَكَالِيلُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. | ٤ 4 |
Around the throne were twenty and four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty and four Elders, who were clothed in white robes, and on whose heads were coronets of gold.
وَكَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ بُرُوقٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ، وَأَمَامَهُ سَبْعَةُ مَصَابِيحِ نَارٍ مُضَاءَةٍ، هِيَ أَرْوَاحُ اللهِ السَّبْعَةُ. | ٥ 5 |
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and the sound of thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
وَكَانَ يَبْدُو كَأَنَّ بَحْراً شَفَّافاً مِثْلَ الْبِلَّوْرِ يَمْتَدُّ أَمَامَ الْعَرْشِ، وَفِي وَسَطِ الْعَرْشِ وَحَوْلَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ كَائِنَاتٍ تَكْسُوهَا عُيُونٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنَ الأَمَامِ وَمِنَ الْخَلْفِ: | ٦ 6 |
And before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.
الْكَائِنُ الأَوَّلُ يُشْبِهُ الأَسَدَ، وَالثَّانِي يُشْبِهُ الْعِجْلَ، وَالثَّالِثُ لَهُ وَجْهٌ مِثْلُ وَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ. أَمَّا الْكَائِنُ الرَّابِعُ فَيُشْبِهُ النَّسْرَ الطَّائِرَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the first Animal resembled a lion; and the second Animal resembled a calf; and the third Animal had a face like a man; and the fourth Animal resembled an eagle when flying.
وَكَانَ لكُلِّ كَائِنٍ مِنْهَا سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، تَكْسُوهَا عُيُونٌ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَمِنَ الْخَارِجِ. وَهَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الأَرْبَعَةُ تَهْتِفُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً دُونَ انْقِطَاعٍ قَائِلَةً: «قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ، الرَّبُّ الإِلهُ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، الَّذِي كَانَ الْكَائِنُ الَّذِي سَيَأْتِي». | ٨ 8 |
And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and is to come.
وَكُلَّمَا قَدَّمَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتُ التَّمْجِيدَ وَالإِجْلالَ وَالْحَمْدَ لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ، الْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ، (aiōn ) | ٩ 9 |
And when these Animals give glory and honor and praise to him that sitteth on the throne, to him who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
يَجْثُو الشُّيُوخُ الأَرْبَعَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ سَاجِدِينَ لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ، وَيُلْقُونَ أَكَالِيلَهُمْ أَمَامَ عَرْشِهِ وَهُمْ يَهْتِفُونَ: (aiōn ) | ١٠ 10 |
the twenty and four Elders fall down before him who sitteth on the throne, and they worship him who liveth for ever and ever; and they cast their coronets before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
«مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْتَ يَا رَبَّنَا وَإِلَهَنَا الْمَجْدَ وَالإِجْلالَ وَالْقُدْرَةَ، لأَنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ الأَشْيَاءَ كُلَّهَا، وَهِيَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ كَائِنَةٌ وَقَدْ خُلِقَتْ!» | ١١ 11 |
Worthy art thou, O Lord our God, the Holy, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thee they exist; and because of thy pleasure they had being and were created.
