1 ¶ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; and a 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 open book, and he set his right foot upon the sea and his left foot upon the land

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

3 A nd cried out with a loud voice as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

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

4 A nd when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders have spoken and do not write them.

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 whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land lifted up his hand to heaven

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

6 a nd swore by him that lives 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 which are therein, that there should be time 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 day of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he did evangelize unto his slaves 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 ¶ And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands upon the sea and upon the land.

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 and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth 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 from the angel’s hand and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

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

11 A nd he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again as to many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

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