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

I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.

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

I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is 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!

No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.

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

And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in 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.»

One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens 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.

I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

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

Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on 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.

Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, 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.

They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood, out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

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

and made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign on earth.”

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

I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them 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 who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, 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.»

I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!”

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

The four living creatures said, “Amen!” The elders fell down and worshiped.
