1 ث ُمَّ رَأيتُ لَفِيفَةً فِي اليَدِ اليُمنَى لِلجالِسِ عَلَى العَرشِ، وَقَدْ كُتِبَ عَلَى وَجهَيْها.

And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

2 ك انَتِ اللَفيفَةُ مَختُومَةً بِسَبعَةِ أختامٍ. وَرَأيتُ مَلاكاً جَبّاراً يُنادِي بِصَوتٍ عالٍ: «مَنْ يَستَحِقُّ أنْ يَكسِرَ الأختامَ وَيَفتَحَ اللَّفِيفَةَ؟»

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?

3 ل َكِنْ لَمْ يَستَطِعْ أحَدٌ أنْ يَفتَحَ اللَّفِيفَةَ لِيَرَى ما بِداخِلِها. لا أحَدَ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَلا عَلَى الأرْضِ وَلا تَحتَ الأرْضِ!

And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.

4 ف َأخَذْتُ أبكي كَثيراً لأنَّهُ لَمْ يُوجَدْ أحَدٌ يَستَحِقُّ أنْ يَفتَحَ اللَّفِيفَةَ وَيَنظُرَ ما فِيها.

And I wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.

5 ف َقالَ لِي أحَدُ الشُّيُوخِ: «لا تَبكِ، ها الأسَدُ الَّذِي مِنْ قَبِيلَةِ يَهُوذا وَمِنْ نَسلِ داوُدَ قَدِ انتَصَرَ، وَهُوَ قادِرٌ أنْ يَكسِرَ الأختامَ السَّبعَةَ وَيَفتَحَ اللَّفِيفَةَ.»

And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome to open the book, and its seven seals.

6 ث ُمَّ رَأيتُ الحَمَلَ واقِفاً فِي الوَسَطِ أمامَ العَرشِ، وَحَولَهُ المَخلُوقاتُ الأربَعَةُ وَالشُّيُوخُ. وَكانَ الحَمَلُ كَما لَو أنَّهُ مَذبُوحٌ. كانَتْ لَهُ سَبعَةُ قُرُونٍ وَسَبعُ أعيُنٍ هِيَ أرواحُ اللهِ السَّبعَةِ الَّتِي أُرسِلَتْ إلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent into all the earth:

7 ث ُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ وَأخَذَ اللَّفِيفَةَ مِنَ اليَدِ اليُمنَى لِلجالِسِ عَلَى العَرشِ.

and it came and took out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8 ع ِندَها سَجَدَتِ المَخلُوقاتُ الأربَعَةُ وَالشُّيُوخُ الأربَعَةُ وَالعِشرُونَ أمامَهُ، وَكُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ مَعَهُ قَيثارَةٌ وَوِعاءٌ مَملوءٌ بِالبَخُورِ، الَّذِي هُوَ صَلَواتُ المؤمِنينَ المُقَدَّسينَ.

And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 ك انُوا يُرَنِّمُونَ تَرنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً فَيَقولونَ: «أنتَ مُستَحِقٌّ أنْ تَأخُذَ اللَّفِيفَةَ وَأنْ تَكسِرَ أختامَها، لِأنَّكَ ذُبِحتَ، وَبِدَمِكَ اشتَرَيتَ شَعباً للهِ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشِيرَةٍ وَلُغَةٍ وَشَعبٍ وَأُمَّةٍ.

And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

10 و َجَعَلتَهُمْ مَملَكَةً، وَكَهَنَةً لإلَهِنا، وَسَيَسُودُونَ الأرْضَ.»

and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.

11 ث ُمَّ نَظَرتُ وَسَمِعتُ أصواتَ العَدِيدِ مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ التَفُّوا حَولَ العَرشِ وَالمَخلُوقاتِ وَالشُّيُوخِ، فَكانُوا مَلايِينَ وَمَلايِينَ!

And I saw, and I heard voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands;

12 و َهُمْ يَقُولُونَ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ: «الحَمَلُ المَذبُوحُ يَسْتَحِقُّ القُدرَةَ وَالغِنَى، وَالحِكْمَةِ وَالقُوَّةِ وَالكَرامَةِ، وَالمَجدِ وَالتَّسبِيحِ.»

saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 ث ُمَّ سَمِعْتُ كُلَّ كائِنٍ مَخلُوقٍ فِي السَّماءِ وَعَلَى الأرْضِ وَتَحتَها وَفِي البَحرِ، كُلَّ مَخلُوقاتِ الكَونِ بِأسرِهِ تَقُولُ: «لِلجالِسِ عَلَى العَرشِ وَلِلحَمَلِ، التَّسبِيحُ وَالكَرامَةُ وَالمَجدُ وَالقُدرَةُ، إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.»

And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages.

14 و َقالَتِ المَخلُوقاتُ الأربَعَةُ: «آمِيْن،» ثُمَّ انحَنَى الشُّيُوخُ وَسَجَدُوا.

And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
