1 ¶ And there was given me a reed like unto a rod, and he said unto me, Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those that worship therein.

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

2 B ut leave out the court which is within the temple and measure it not, for it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.

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

3 ¶ And I will give my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

وَسَأُرسِلُ شاهِدَيَّ الاثنَينِ، وَسَيَتَنَبَّآنِ مُدَّةَ ألفٍ وَمِئَتَينِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوماً، وَهُما يَلبَسانِ الخَيشَ.»

4 T hese are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.

هَذانِ الشّاهِدانِ هُما شَجَرَتا الزَّيتُونِ، وَهُما المِصباحانِ القائِمانِ أمامَ رَبِّ الأرْضِ.

5 A nd if anyone desires to hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and if anyone desires to hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

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

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

هَذانِ 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.

7 A nd when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them.

وَعِندَما يَنتَهِيانِ مِنْ شَهادَتِهِما، سَيَخرُجُ الوَحشُ مِنَ الهاوِيَةِ ويُهاجِمُهُما، وَيَهزِمُهُما وَيَقتُلُهُما.

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

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

9 A nd those of the peoples and kindreds and tongues and Gentiles shall see their dead bodies three days and a half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

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

10 A nd those that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry and shall send gifts one to another because these two prophets tormented those that dwelt on the earth.

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

11 A nd after three days and a half, the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them.

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

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

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

13 A nd in the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain the names of seven thousand men; and the others were frightened and gave glory to the God of heaven.

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

14 ¶ The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly.

الوَيلُ الثّانِي قَدْ مَضَى، وَها إنَّ الوَيلَ الثّالِثَ آتٍ سَرٍيعاً. البُوقُ السّابِع

15 A nd the seventh angel sounded the trumpet, and there were great voices in the heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are reduced unto our Lord and to his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

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

16 A nd the twenty-four elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,

ثُمَّ خَرَّ الشُّيُوخُ الأربَعَةُ وَالعِشرُونَ الجالِسُونَ عَلَى عُرُوشِهِمْ أمامَ اللهِ، وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ،

17 s aying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art and wast, and art to come because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and hast reigned.

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

18 A nd the Gentiles were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should give the reward unto thy slaves the prophets and to the saints and those that fear thy name, to the small and to the great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.

غَضِبَ 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!»

19 A nd the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and earthquakes and great hail.

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