1 ث ُمَّ أُعطِيتُ قَصَبَةً تُشبِهُ عَصا قِياسٍ. وَقِيلَ لِي: «قٌمْ وَقِسْ هَيكَلَ اللهِ وَالمَذبَحَ، وَأحصِ عَدَدَ الَّذِينَ يَتَعَبَّدُونَ بِداخِلِهِ.

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2 أ مّا ساحَةُ الهَيكَلِ الخارِجِيَّةُ، فاترُكْها وَلا تَقِسْها، لِأنَّها قَدْ أُعطِيَتْ لِلوَثَنِيِّينَ. وَهُمْ سَيَدُوسُونَ المَدِينَةَ المُقَدَّسَةَ لِمُدَّةِ اثْنَينِ وَأربَعِينَ شَهراً.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

3 و َسَأُرسِلُ شاهِدَيَّ الاثنَينِ، وَسَيَتَنَبَّآنِ مُدَّةَ ألفٍ وَمِئَتَينِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوماً، وَهُما يَلبَسانِ الخَيشَ.»

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 ه َذانِ الشّاهِدانِ هُما شَجَرَتا الزَّيتُونِ، وَهُما المِصباحانِ القائِمانِ أمامَ رَبِّ الأرْضِ.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 إ نْ حاوَلَ أحَدٌ أنْ يُؤذِيَهُما، فَإنَّ ناراً سَتَخرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِما وَتُبِيدُ أعداءَهُما. فَإنْ حاوَلَ أحَدٌ أنْ يُؤذِيَهُما، هَكَذا يَنبَغي أنْ يَمُوتَ.

And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6 ه َذانِ لَدَيهُما السُّلطانَ أنْ يُغلِقا السَّماءَ، فَلا يَنزِلَ مَطَرٌ خِلالَ فَترَةِ نُبُوَّتِهِما. وَلَدَيهُما السُّلطانَ أنْ يُحَوِّلا المِياهِ إلَى دَمٍ، وَأنْ يَضرِبا الأرْضَ بِكُلِّ أنواعِ البَلاءِ مَتَى شاءا.

These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

7 و َعِندَما يَنتَهِيانِ مِنْ شَهادَتِهِما، سَيَخرُجُ الوَحشُ مِنَ الهاوِيَةِ ويُهاجِمُهُما، وَيَهزِمُهُما وَيَقتُلُهُما.

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8 و َتُترَكُ جُثَّتاهُما فِي شَوارِعِ المَدِينَةِ العَظِيمَةِ حَيثُ صُلِبَ رَبُّهُما أيضاً، وَتُدعَى هَذِهِ المَدِينَةُ رَمزِيّاً سَدُومَ وَمِصْرَ!

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9 و َسَيَنظُرُ النّاسُ مِنْ كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالقَبائِلِ وَاللُّغاتِ وَالأُمَمِ إلَى جُثَّتَيهِما لِثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ وَنِصفٍ، وَلَنْ يَسمَحُوا بِأنْ تُدفَنَ جُثَّتاهُما.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 س َيَشمَتُ الَّذِينَ يَعِيشُونَ عَلَى الأرْضِ بِهِما. سَيَحتَفِلُونَ وَيُرسِلُونَ الهَدايا بَعضُهُمْ إلَى بَعضٍ، لِأنَّ هَذَينِ النَّبِيَّينِ كانا مَصدَرَ عَذابٍ لِلَّذِينَ يَعِيشُونَ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

11 ل َكِنْ بَعدَ انقِضاءِ الثَّلاثَةِ أيّامٍ وَنِصفٍ، دَخَلَتْ فِيهِما نَفخَةُ حَياةٍ مِنَ اللهِ، فَوَقَفا عَلَى أقدامِهِما، وَحَلَّ بِالَّذِينَ كانُوا يُشاهِدونَ ذَلِكَ خَوفٌ عَظِيمٌ!

And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 و َسَمِعَ النَّبِيّانِ صَوتاً عالِياً مِنَ السَّماءِ يَقُولُ: «اصعَدا إلَى هُنا!» فَصَعِدا إلَى السَّماءِ فِي سَحابَةٍ، فِيما كانَ أعداؤُهُما يَنظُرونَ.

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 و َفِي تِلكَ اللَّحظَةِ حَدَثَ زِلزالٌ عَظِيمٌ، فانهارَ عُشْرُ المَدِينَةِ. وَقُتِلَ فِي الزِّلزالِ سَبعَةُ آلافِ شَخصٍ، أمّا الباقُونَ فَكانُوا خائِفِينَ لِلغايَةِ، وَمَجَّدُوا إلَهَ السَّماءِ.

And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 ا لوَيلُ الثّانِي قَدْ مَضَى، وَها إنَّ الوَيلَ الثّالِثَ آتٍ سَرٍيعاً. البُوقُ السّابِع

The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15 و َنَفَخَ المَلاكُ السّابِعُ فِي بُوقِهِ، وَكانَتْ هُناكَ أصواتٌ عالِيَةٌ فِي السَّماءِ تَقُولُ: «مَمالِكُ الأرْضِ صارَتِ الآنَ لِرَبِّنا وَمَسِيحِهِ، وَهُوَ سَيَحكُمُ إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.»

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

16 ث ُمَّ خَرَّ الشُّيُوخُ الأربَعَةُ وَالعِشرُونَ الجالِسُونَ عَلَى عُرُوشِهِمْ أمامَ اللهِ، وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ،

And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

17 و َقالوا: «نَحمَدُكَ أيُّها الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ الكائِنُ وَالَّذِي كانَ لِأنَّكَ أظهَرتَ قُدرَتَكَ العَظِيمَةَ، وَمَلَكتَ.

Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 غ َضِبَ الوَثَنِيُّونَ، لَكِنَّ غَضَبَكَ قَدْ أتَى. آنَ الأوانُ لِكَي يُدانَ الأمواتُ، وَلِكَي يُكافَأ عِبادُكَ الأنبِياءُ، وَشَعبُكَ المُقَدَّسُ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَهابُ اسْمَكَ صِغاراً وَكِباراً. حانَ الوَقتُ لِكَي يُدَمَّرَ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يُدَمِّرُونَ الأرْضَ!»

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19 ث ُمَّ فُتِحَ هَيكَلُ اللهِ فِي السَّماءِ، وَظَهَرَ تابُوتُ عَهدِهِ فِي هَيكَلِهِ. وَحَدَثَتْ بُرُوقٌ وَرُعُودٌ، وَزُلزِلَتِ الأرْضُ، وَسَقَطَ عَلَيها بَرَدٌ كَبِيرٌ وَكَثِيرٌ!

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
