< Revelation 5 >

1 I saw the one sitting on the throne holding a scroll in his right hand. The scroll was written on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
وَرَأَيْتُ إِلَى يَمِينِ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ دَرْجَ كِتَابٍ مَخْطُوطاً مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَالْخَارِجِ، مَخْتُوماً بِسَبْعَةِ خُتُومٍ.١
2 I saw a powerful angel shouting in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
وَرَأَيْتُ مَلاكاً قَوِيًّا يُنَادِي بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: «مَنْ هُوَ الْمُسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ يَفُكَّ خُتُومَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَفْتَحَهُ؟»٢
3 Nobody in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.
فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلا عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَلا تَحْتَ الأَرْضِ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ!٣
4 I cried many tears because nobody could be found who was worthy to open the book and read it.
فَأَخَذْتُ أَبْكِي بُكَاءً شَدِيداً لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ.٤
5 One of the elders spoke to me and said, “Don't cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the descendant of David, has won the battle and can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
وَلَكِنَّ شَيْخاً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ قَالَ لِي: «لا تَبْكِ! قَدِ انْتَصَرَ الأَسَدُ الَّذِي مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، الَّذِي هُوَ أَصْلُ دَاوُدَ، وَهُوَ الْمُسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ الْكِتَابَ وَيَفُكَّ خُتُومَهُ السَّبْعَةَ».٥
6 I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been killed standing in the center by the throne and the four living creatures, among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes that are the seven Spirits of God that are sent out to all the earth.
وَنَظَرْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْوَسَطِ بَيْنَ الْعَرْشِ وَالْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ حَمَلاً يَظْهَرُ كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ ذُبِحَ. وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ قُرُونٍ، وَسَبْعُ أَعْيُنٍ تُمَثِّلُ أَرْوَاحَ اللهِ السَّبْعَةَ الَّتِي أُرْسِلَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.٦
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one that sat on the throne.
فَتَقَدَّمَ وَأَخَذَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ يَمِينِ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.٧
8 When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the believers.
فَسَجَدَ الشُّيُوخُ الأَرْبَعَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ وَالْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الأَرْبَعَةُ أَمَامَ الْحَمَلِ، وَكَانَ بِيَدِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ قِيثَارَةٌ وَكُؤُوسُ ذَهَبٍ مَمْلُوءَةٌ بِالْبَخُورِ، الَّذِي هُوَ صَلَوَاتُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ.٨
9 They sang a new song, “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you redeemed for God people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
وَأَخَذُوا يُرَتِّلُونَ تَرْتِيلَةً جَدِيدَةً يَقُولُونَ فِيهَا: «مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْتَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ الْكِتَابَ وَتَفُكَّ خُتُومَهُ، لأَنَّكَ ذُبِحْتَ، وَبِدَمِكَ اشْتَرَيْتَ لِلهِ أُنَاساً مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ وَلُغَةٍ وَشَعْبٍ وَأُمَّةٍ،٩
10 You made them into a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
وَجَعَلْتَهُمْ مَمْلَكَةً لإِلَهِنَا وَكَهَنَةً لَهُ، وَسَيَمْلِكُونَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ».١٠
11 As I looked I heard the voices of millions of angels around the throne, together with the living creatures and the elders,
ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ، فَسَمِعْتُ تَرْتِيلَ الْمَلايِينِ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَهِيَ تُحِيطُ بِالْعَرْشِ وَبِالْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ،١١
12 shouting loudly together: “The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive authority, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing.”
وَهُمْ يَهْتِفُونَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «مُسْتَحِقٌّ الْحَمَلُ الْمَذْبُوحُ أَنْ يَنَالَ الْقُدْرَةَ وَالْغِنَى وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالْقُوَّةَ وَالإِجْلالَ وَالْمَجْدَ وَالْبَرَكَةَ».١٢
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, in the sea—every creature everywhere—replying: “To the one who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and authority, for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ كُلَّ خَلِيقَةٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَتَحْتَ الأَرْضِ، وَعَلَى الْبَحْرِ، هَاتِفَةً مَعَ كُلِّ مَا فِيهَا: «الْبَرَكَةُ وَالإِجْلالُ وَالْمَجْدُ وَالسُّلْطَةُ لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَلِلْحَمَلِ، إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ». (aiōn g165)١٣
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
فَرَدَّتِ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الأَرْبَعَةُ: «آمِينَ!» وَجَثَا الشُّيُوخُ سَاجِدِينَ.١٤
