1 A nd I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;

ثُمَّ رَأيتُ مَلاكاً قَوِيّاً آخَرَ نازِلاً مِنَ السَّماءِ. وَكانَ يَلبِسُ سَحابَةً، وَقَوسُ قُزَحٍ حَولَ رَأسِهِ. وَجهُهُ كَالشَّمسِ، وَساقاهُ كَعَمُودَينِ مِنْ نارٍ.

2 a nd he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;

كانَ يَحمِلُ فِي يَدِهِ لفِيفةً صَغِيرَةً مَفتُوحَةً. وَوَضَعَ قَدَمَهُ اليُمنَى فِي البَحرِ، وَاليُسرَى عَلَى اليابِسَةِ.

3 a nd he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.

ثُمَّ صَرَخَ بِصَوتٍ عَظِيمٍ كَزَئِيرِ أسَدٍ. عِندَها أسمَعَتِ الرُّعُودُ السَّبعَةُ أصواتَها.

4 A nd when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

وَعِندَما تَكَلَّمَتِ الرُّعُودُ السَّبعَةُ. كُنتُ سَأكتُبُ، لَكِنَّنِي سَمِعْتُ مِنَ السَّماءِ صَوتاً يَقُولُ: «لا تُعلِنْ ما قالَتهُ الرُّعُودُ السَّبعَةُ، وَلا تَكتُبْهُ!»

5 A nd the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,

عِندَها رَفَعَ المَلاكُ الَّذِي رَأيتُهُ واقِفاً فِي البَحرِ وَعَلَى اليابِسَةِ يَدَهُ اليُمنَى إلَى السَّماءِ،

6 a nd sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:

وَأقسَمَ بِالحَيِّ إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ، الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماءَ وَما فِيها، وَالأرْضَ وَما عَلَيها، وَالبَحرَ وَما فِيهِ، وَقالَ: «لا تَأخِيرَ بَعدَ الآنِ!»

7 b ut in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished they mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.

وَلَكِنْ عِندَما يَحِينُ الوَقتُ لِلمَلاكِ السّابِعِ لِأنْ يُسمَعَ، أيْ عِندَما يَكُونُ عَلَى وَشْكِ أنْ يَنفُخَ فِي بُوقِهِ، فَإنَّ قَصدَ اللهِ الخَفِيِّ سَيَتَحَقَّقُ، كَما بُشِّرَ عِبادَهُ الأنبِياءِ.

8 A nd the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ إلَيَّ ثانِيَةً الصَّوتُ الَّذِي سَبَقَ أنْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَقالَ: «اذْهَبْ وَخُذِ اللَّفِيفةَ المَفتُوحَةَ الَّتِي فِي يَدِ المَلاكِ الواقِفِ فِي البَحرِ وَعَلَى اليابِسَةِ.»

9 A nd I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

فَذَهَبتُ إلَى المَلاكِ، وَطَلَبتُ مِنهُ أنْ يُعطِيَنِي اللَّفِيفةَ الصَّغِيرَةَ. فَقالَ لَي: «خُذها وَكُلْها. سَتَجعَلُ مَعِدَتَكَ مُرَّةً، لَكِنَّها فِي فَمِكَ سَتَكُونُ حُلوَةً كَالعَسَلِ.»

10 A nd I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.

فَأخذتُ اللَّفِيفةَ الصَّغِيرَةَ مِنْ يَدِ المَلاكِ وَأكَلتُها، فَكانَ طَعمُها فِي فَمِي كَالعَسَلِ، لَكِنْ بَعدَ أنْ أكَلتُها أصبَحَتْ مَعِدَتِي مُرَّةً.

11 A nd they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

ثُمَّ أخبَرُونِي وَقالُوا: «عَلَيكَ أنْ تَتَنَبَّأ بَعدُ عَلَى عِدَّةِ شُعُوبٍ وَأُمَمٍ وَلُغاتٍ وَمُلُوكٍ.»
