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 fallen out of heaven to the earth, and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss; (Abyssos g12)

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

and he opened the pit of the abyss. And there went up 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 out of the smoke went forth locusts upon the earth, and to 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, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads;

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

and it was given to them 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 it hath struck 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 men will seek death, and shall not find it; and will desire to die, and death will 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 horses prepared for 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 like 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 have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.

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

They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek he hath for his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

١٢ 12 انْقَضَى الْوَيْلُ الأَوَّلُ، وَهُنَاكَ وَيْلانِ آخَرَانِ قَادِمَانِ!

The first woe is past; behold, two woes more are yet to come.

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 out of 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 who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound at 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, who were in readiness for the hour, and day, and month, and year, to slay the third part of men.

١٦ 16 وَسَمِعْتُ أَنَّ جَيْشَهُمْ يَبْلُغُ مِئَتَيْ مِلْيُونِ مُحَارِبٍ!

And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; 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 those who sat on them, having breastplates of a fiery, and a dark blue, and a brimstone color; 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 plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the smoke, and 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 the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like to serpents, having 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 men, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of 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 fornication, nor of their thefts.
