رُؤيا 9

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

Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven upon the earth; and to him was given the key to 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 out of the pit there went up a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air grew dark, because of the smoke out of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

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

And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth; they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.

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

They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any plant, nor any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

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

Yet they were not permitted to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.

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

In those days men will seek death, and will not find it; they will long to die, but death ever flees from them.

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

The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there was something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,

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

and they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lion’s teeth,

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

and they had breastplates something like breastplates of iron; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots, of many horses rushing into battle.

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

And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to torture men five months was in their tails.

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

They have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon; in Greek he is called Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

١٢ 12 انْقَضَى الْوَيْلُ الأَوَّلُ، وَهُنَاكَ وَيْلانِ آخَرَانِ قَادِمَانِ!

"The first woe has passed; and still there are two woes to follow."

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

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a voice from the 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».

one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates."

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

Then the four angels that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.

١٦ 16 وَسَمِعْتُ أَنَّ جَيْشَهُمْ يَبْلُغُ مِئَتَيْ مِلْيُونِ مُحَارِبٍ!

The number of the hosts of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number;

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 their riders. They had breastplates of fire, "red as fire, dark blue as jacinth, and yellow as sulphur." The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, 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 plagues a third of mankind were killed; by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which issued from their mouths.

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

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

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 mankind who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They would not give up the worship of demons and of idols made of gold and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

٢١ 21 وَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنِ الْقَتْلِ وَالسِّحْرِ وَالزِّنَى وَالسَّرِقَةِ!

And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts.
