رُؤيا 9

١ 1 وَلَمَّا نَفَخَ الْمَلاكُ الْخَامِسُ فِي بُوقِهِ، رَأَيْتُ نَجْماً قَدْ هَوَى مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَأُعْطِيَ مِفْتَاحَ الْهَاوِيَةِ السَّحِيقَةِ. (Abyssos g12)

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)

٢ 2 فَلَمَّا فَتَحَهَا انْدَفَعَ الدُّخَانُ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَتُونٍ عَظِيمٍ، فَأَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْجَوُّ مِنْ هَذَا الدُّخَانِ. (Abyssos g12)

And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

٣ 3 وَطَلَعَ مِنَ الدُّخَانِ جَرَادٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَأُعْطِيَ سُلْطَةً أَنْ يَلْسَعَ كَالْعَقَارِبِ،

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

٤ 4 وَأُمِرَ أَلّا يَضُرَّ عُشْبَ الأَرْضِ وَلا مَزْرُوعَاتِهَا وَلا أَشْجَارَهَا بَلْ فَقَطْ جَمِيعَ مَنْ لَيْسَ عَلَى جِبَاهِهِمْ خَتْمُ اللهِ،

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

٥ 5 فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ دُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُمْ، مُدَّةَ خَمْسَةِ أَشْهُرٍ. وَالأَلَمُ الَّذِي يُسَبِّبُهُ يُشْبِهُ أَلَمَ لَدْغَةِ الْعَقْرَبِ.

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

٦ 6 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ تِلْكَ الشُّهُورِ يُحَاوِلُ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّصُوا مِنْ حَيَاتِهِمْ فَلا يَقْدِرُونَ! وَيَتَمَنَّوْنَ أَنْ يَمُوتُوا، لَكِنَّ الْمَوْتَ يَهْرُبُ مِنْهُمْ.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

٧ 7 وَيَبْدُو هَذَا الْجَرَادُ كَأَنَّهُ خَيْلٌ مُجَهَّزَةٌ لِلْقِتَالِ، عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِ مَا يُشْبِهُ أَكَالِيلَ الذَّهَبِ، وَوُجُوهُهُ كَوُجُوهِ الْبَشَرِ،

And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.

٨ 8 وَلَهُ شَعْرٌ طَوِيلٌ كَشَعْرِ النِّسَاءِ، وَأَسْنَانُهُ كَأَسْنَانِ الأُسُودِ،

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.

٩ 9 وَصُدُورُهُ كَدُرُوعٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ، وَحَفِيفُ أَجْنِحَتِهِ كَضَجِيجِ مَرْكَبَاتِ خَيْلٍ تَجْرِي إِلَى الْقِتَالِ،

And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

١٠ 10 وَأَذْنَابُهُ ذَاتُ إِبَرٍ كَالْعَقَارِبِ. وَلَهُ سُلْطَةٌ أَنْ يُؤْذِيَ الْبَشَرَ بِأَذْنَابِهِ مُدَّةَ خَمْسَةِ أَشْهُرٍ.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [ was] to hurt men five months.

١١ 11 أَمَّا مَلِكُهُ فَهُوَ «مَلاكُ الْهَاوِيَةِ»، وَاسْمُهُ بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ «أَبَدُّونُ»، وَبِالْيُونَانِيَّةِ «أَبُولِّيُّونُ». (Abyssos g12)

And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [ his] name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

١٢ 12 انْقَضَى الْوَيْلُ الأَوَّلُ، وَهُنَاكَ وَيْلانِ آخَرَانِ قَادِمَانِ!

One woe is past; [and], behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

١٣ 13 وَعِنْدَمَا نَفَخَ الْمَلاكُ السَّادِسُ فِي بُوقِهِ، سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً آتِياً مِنَ الْقُرُونِ الأَرْبَعَةِ لِمَذْبَحِ الذَّهَبِ الْمَوْجُودِ أَمَامَ اللهِ،

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

١٤ 14 يَقُولُ لِلْمَلاكِ السَّادِسِ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُ الْبُوقَ: «أَطْلِقِ الْمَلائِكَةَ الأَرْبَعَةَ الْمُقَيَّدِينَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ الْكَبِيرِ».

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ هَؤُلاءِ الْمَلائِكَةُ الأَرْبَعَةُ مُجَهَّزِينَ اسْتِعْدَاداً لِهذِهِ السَّاعَةِ وَالْيَوْمِ وَالشَّهْرِ وَالسَّنَةِ، فَأُطْلِقُوا لِيَقْتُلُوا ثُلْثَ الْبَشَرِ.

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

١٦ 16 وَسَمِعْتُ أَنَّ جَيْشَهُمْ يَبْلُغُ مِئَتَيْ مِلْيُونِ مُحَارِبٍ!

And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

١٧ 17 وَرَأَيْتُ فِي الرُّؤْيَا الْخُيُولَ وَعَلَيْهَا فُرْسَانٌ يَلْبَسُونَ دُرُوعاً بَعْضُهَا أَحْمَرُ نَارِيٌّ، وَبَعْضُهَا بَنَفْسَجِيٌّ، وَبَعْضُهَا أَصْفَرُ كِبْرِيتِيٌّ. وَكَانَتْ رُؤُوسُ الْخَيْلِ مِثْلَ رُؤُوسِ الأُسُودِ، تَلْفُظُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهَا نَاراً وَدُخَاناً وَكِبْرِيتاً.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

١٨ 18 فَقُتِلَ ثُلْثُ النَّاسِ بِهذِهِ الْبَلايَا الثَّلاثِ، أَيْ بِالنَّارِ وَالدُّخَانِ وَالْكِبْرِيتِ الْخَارِجَةِ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ الْخَيْلِ.

By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

١٩ 19 وَكَانَتْ قُوَّةُ الْخَيْلِ الْقَاتِلَةُ تَكْمُنُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا وَفِي أَذْنَابِهَا أَيْضاً، لأَنَّ أَذْنَابَهَا تُشْبِهُ الْحَيَّاتِ ذَاتَ الرُّؤُوسِ الْمُؤْذِيَةِ!

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

٢٠ 20 وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ الَّذِينَ نَجَوْا مِنْ هذِهِ الْبَلايَا، لَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ، وَظَلُّوا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَلِلأَصْنَامِ الَّتِي صَنَعُوهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحَاسِ وَالْحَجَرِ وَالْخَشَبِ، مَعَ أَنَّهَا لَا تَرَى وَلا تَسْمَعُ وَلا تَتَحَرَّكُ!

And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

٢١ 21 وَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنِ الْقَتْلِ وَالسِّحْرِ وَالزِّنَى وَالسَّرِقَةِ!

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
