1 T hen I saw another wonder (sign, token, symbol) in heaven, great and marvelous: There were seven angels bringing seven plagues (afflictions, calamities), which are the last, for with them God’s wrath (indignation) is completely expressed.

ثُمَّ رَأيتُ عَلامَةً عَظِيمَةً وَمُدهِشَةً أُخْرَى فِي السَّماءِ. رَأيتُ سَبعَةَ مِلائِكَةٍ وَمَعَهُمُ الكَوارِثُ السَّبعُ الأخِيرَةُ الَّتِي يَنتَهِي بِها غَضَبُ اللهِ.

2 T hen I saw what seemed to be a glassy sea blended with fire, and those who had come off victorious from the beast and from his statue and from the number corresponding to his name were standing beside the glassy sea, with harps of God in their hands.

ثُمَّ رَأيتُ شَيئاً يُشبِهُ بَحراً مِنَ الزُّجاجِ المَخلُوطِ بِالنّارِ، وَرَأيتُ الَّذِينَ انتَصَرُوا عَلَى الوَحشِ وَتِمثالِهِ، وَعَلَى العَدَدِ الَّذِي يُوافِقُ اسْمَهُ. كانُوا يَقِفُونَ بِقَياثيرِهُمْ إلَى جانِبِ بَحرِ الزُّجاجِ

3 A nd they sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, Mighty and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God the Omnipotent! Righteous (just) and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the ages (King of the nations )!

وَهُمْ يُنشِدُونَ تَرنِيمَةَ مُوسَى عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَأُنشُودَةَ الحَمَلِ: «عَظِيمَةٌ وَرائِعَةٌ هِيَ أفعالُكَ، أيُّها الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ. طُرُقُكَ عَدلٌ وَحَقٌّ، يا مَلِكَ الأُمَمِ.

4 W ho shall not reverence and glorify Your name, O Lord ? For You only are holy. All the nations shall come and pay homage and adoration to You, for Your just judgments (Your righteous sentences and deeds) have been made known and displayed.

كُلُّ الشُّعُوبِ سَتَهابُكَ يا رَبُّ، وَسَتُسَبِّحُ اسْمَكَ. لِأنَّكَ وَحدَكَ القُدُّوسُ. كُلُّ الأُمَمِ سَتَأتِي وَتَسجُدُ فِي حَضرَتِكَ، لِأنَّ أحكامَكَ العادِلَةَ صارَتْ مَعرُوفَةً.»

5 A fter this I looked and the sanctuary of the tent of the testimony in heaven was thrown open,

بَعدَ هَذا نَظَرتُ، فَإذا بِالهَيكَلِ السَّماوِيِّ، أيْ خَيمَةُ الشَّهادَةِ، قَدْ فُتِحَ،

6 A nd there came out of the temple sanctuary the seven angels bringing the seven plagues (afflictions, calamities). They were arrayed in pure gleaming linen, and around their breasts they wore golden girdles.

وَخَرَجَ مِنهُ المَلائِكَةُ السَّبعَةُ الَّذِينَ يَحمِلُونَ الكَوارِثَ السَّبعَ الأخِيرَةَ. كانُوا يَلبِسُونَ أثواباً مِنَ الكِتّانِ النَّظِيفِ البَهِيِّ، وَحَولَ صُدُورِهِمْ أحزِمَةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ.

7 A nd one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath and indignation of God, Who lives forever and ever (in the eternities of the eternities).

ثُمَّ أعطَى أحَدُ المَخلُوقاتِ الأربَعَةِ لِلمَلائِكَةِ السَّبعَةِ سَبعَ آنِيَةٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ مَملُوءَةٍ بِغَضَبِ اللهِ الحَيِّ إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.

8 A nd the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory (the radiance, the splendor) of God and from His might and power, and no one was able to go into the sanctuary until the seven plagues (afflictions, calamities) of the seven angels were ended.

وَامتَلأ الهَيكَلُ بِالدُّخانِ مِنْ مَجدِ اللهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ، فَلَمْ يَستَطِعْ أحَدٌ أنْ يَدخُلَ الهَيكَلَ حَتَّى تَنتَهِي الكَوارِثُ السَّبعُ الَّتِي حَمَلَها المَلائِكَةُ السَّبعَةُ.
