Revelation 17

1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

١ وَجَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ السَّبْعَةِ حَامِلِي الْكُؤُوسِ السَّبْعِ وَقَالَ لِي: «تَعَالَ فَأُرِيَكَ عِقَابَ الزَّانِيَةِ الْكُبْرَى الْجَالِسَةِ عَلَى الْمِيَاهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ،

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."

٢ الَّتِي زَنَى مَعَهَا مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ، وَسَكِرَ أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ خَمْرِ زِنَاهَا».

3 He carried me away in the Rukha into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

٣ وَحَمَلَنِي الْمَلاكُ بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَرَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً رَاكِبَةً عَلَى وَحْشٍ قِرْمِزِيٍّ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ وَعَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ، وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ عَلَى جِسْمِهِ كُلِّهِ أَسْمَاءُ تَجْدِيفٍ.

4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.

٤ وَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَلْبَسُ مَلابِسَ مِنْ أُرْجُوَانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ، وَتَتَحَلَّى بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْحِجَارَةِ الْكَرِيمَةِ وَاللُّؤْلُوءِ، وَقَدْ أَمْسَكَتْ كَأْسَ ذَهَبٍ مَمْلُوءَةً بِزِنَاهَا الْمَكْرُوهِ النَّجِسِ،

5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

٥ وَعَلَى جَبِينِهَا اسْمٌ مَكْتُوبٌ: سِرٌّ: «بَابِلُ الْعُظْمَى، أُمُّ زَانِيَاتِ الأَرْضِ وَأَصْنَامِهَا الْمَكْرُوهَةِ».

6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

٦ وَرَأَيْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ سَكْرَى لِكَثْرَةِ مَا شَرِبَتْ مِنْ دَمِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَدَمِ شُهَدَاءِ يَسُوعَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَتْهُمْ. فَتَمَلَّكَتْنِي الدَّهْشَةُ لِمَنْظَرِهَا،

7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

٧ فَسَأَلَنِي الْمَلاكُ: «لِمَاذَا دُهِشْتَ؟ سَأُطْلِعُكَ عَلَى سِرِّ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْوَحْشِ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُهَا، صَاحِبُ الرُّؤُوسِ السَّبْعَةِ وَالْقُرُونِ الْعَشَرَةِ:

8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and is going to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, but is to come. (Abyssos g12)

٨ هَذَا الْوَحْشُ كَانَ مَوْجُوداً، وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مَوْجُودٍ الآنَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ وَيَمْضِيَ إِلَى الْهَلاكِ. وَسَيُدْهَشُ سُكَّانُ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ تُكْتَبْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ فِي سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ، عِنْدَمَا يَرَوْنَ الْوَحْشَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَوْجُوداً، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ غَيْرَ مَوْجُودٍ، وَسَيَعُودُ! (Abyssos g12)

9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

٩ وَلابُدَّ هُنَا مِنْ فِطْنَةِ الْعَقْلِ: الرُّؤُوسُ السَّبْعَةُ هِيَ التِّلالُ السَّبْعَةُ الَّتِي تَجْلِسُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَيْهَا وَتَرْمِزُ أَيْضاً إِلَى سَبْعَةِ مُلُوكٍ،

10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

١٠ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَضَوْا، وَالسَّادِسُ يَحْكُمُ الآنَ، وَالسَّابِعُ سَيَأْتِي، وَلَكِنَّ مُدَّةَ حُكْمِهِ سَتَكُونُ قَصِيرَةً.

11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

١١ أَمَّا الْوَحْشُ الَّذِي كَانَ مَوْجُوداً ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ غَيْرَ مَوْجُودٍ، فَهُوَ مَلِكٌ ثَامِنٌ سَبَقَ أَنْ مَلَكَ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَ السَّبْعَةِ، سَيَمْضِي إِلَى الْهَلاكِ.

12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.

١٢ وَأَمَّا الْقُرُونُ الْعَشَرَةُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا هِيَ عَشَرَةُ مُلُوكٍ لَمْ يَتَوَلَّوْا الْمُلْكَ بَعْدُ، وَسَيَتَوَلَّوْنَ سُلْطَةَ الْمُلْكِ مَعَ الْوَحْشِ لِمُدَّةِ سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ،

13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

١٣ يَتَّفِقُونَ فِيهَا بِرَأْيٍ وَاحِدٍ أَنْ يُعْطُوا الْوَحْشَ قُوَّتَهُمْ وَسُلْطَتَهُمْ.

14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."

١٤ ثُمَّ يُحَارِبُونَ الْحَمَلَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْحَمَلَ يَهْزِمُهُمْ، لأَنَّهُ رَبُّ الأَرْبَابِ وَمَلِكُ الْمُلُوكِ، وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ هُمُ الْمَدْعُوُّونَ، الْمُخْتَارُونَ، الْمُؤْمِنُونَ».

15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

١٥ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ الْمَلاكُ: «أَمَّا الْمِيَاهُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَ حَيْثُ تَجْلِسُ الزَّانِيَةُ، فَتَرْمِزُ إِلَى شُعُوبٍ وَجَمَاهِيرَ وَأُمَمٍ وَلُغَاتٍ.

16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

١٦ وَأَمَّا الْقُرُونُ الْعَشَرَةُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا، وَالْوَحْشُ، فَسَيُبْغِضُونَ الزَّانِيَةَ وَيَجْعَلُونَهَا مَعْزُولَةً وَعَارِيَةً، وَيَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمَهَا وَيُحْرِقُونَهَا بِالنَّارِ،

17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

١٧ لأَنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا وَفْقَ قَصْدِهِ، فَيَتَّفِقُوا عَلَى أَنْ يُعْطُوا الْوَحْشَ مُلْكَهُمْ، حَتَّى تَتِمَّ كَلِمَاتُ اللهِ.

18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."

١٨ أَمَّا هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا، فَهِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ الْعُظْمَى الَّتِي تَحْكُمُ مُلُوكَ الأَرْضِ».
